Mason MINIs unite!

hi everyone- im trying to start a little thread for GMU MINI/mini peoples to unite. i allready attempted this in the general forum...
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=92722
not much response... So ive been urged to move the thread over here... makes sense doesnt it.
so any way- if your a teacher or student or staff or all three post a hello here.
to start things off -
im the Maryland plate 06 HB/W Cooper parked in Sandy Creek deck- i used to be in staff lot B till they decided to put a building on it...
now its your turn!
GO MASON!

'nother Masoner checking in...

I'm a future MCS owner who's attending GMU as grad student in CS dept. If you see a BRG Saturn coupe with a plate that encourage folks to motor, in the Sandy Creek deck, that'd probably be me.

So, were you there?

Yesterday afternoon, parked in Sandy Creek parking lot, bottom floor. Saw a somewhat dirty pre-07 Cooper (plain Cooper), red with white bonnet stripes, covered driving lamps and US flag on the roof..... I was the BRG R56 with gold stripes, parked 2 rows behind you, and one row to the car's right--you might have seen it while walking up to the car from the elevators.

Yeah, I tried to join you up there, but I was a day too late in getting the permit--apparently they sold out the whole thing in a single day.... Will have to camp out in front of the Parking Service next year....:impatient

Oh- theres a light blue (not sure what the name is) 07 with racing stripes that parks in the garage- she has passed me multiple times- including a 10min drive parallel with me, down Braddock- but as much as i wave, flash my lights and stick my head out the window- she seems to be completely oblivious to me... she must be taking some hard classes...
maybe next sumester she will notice...

Yeah, I've seen the same car too--Asian female, drove with her on Braddock last Tuesday evening after classes (the 4:30-7:10 classes). I even got in front of her and flashed the rear fog lights a few times, without any reaction that I can see (well, it was dark at that time).

What is the best way to "wave" to someone at night anyway? Flash the rear fog lights?

Cool, now maybe she'll wave to minifiddler and me, as I think this is the same car both of us have tried to wave to.

I don't think so, this one is a '06 or earlier (R50) and the Hyper Blue is dark not light. I think I've seen the one you're thinking of though on Braddock. I'll keep my eyes peeled. I never turn off my MINI-dar
