It's all gravy. Didn't realize that typing shorthanded could be misread by others as a typo and an annoyance. But hey, we all have our own pet peeves. Oh well.

Anyhoo, saw one of those orange colored convertable MINI's at Arundel Mills. You pulled into a parking space about 5 spaces down from me tonight, around the same time I pulled into mine - about 9 p.m. I ran out of calling cards, so I couldn't tag you on my out - around midnight. You hadn't returned yet. I think it was you + 1 other person, but I was on the phone so I couldn't really tell.

Tagged a DS MCS yesterday in the 1700 Pennslyvania Garage in DC. I don't usually park on the second level, but I spotted you with a monthly garage pass, and given the cost of those things you've got to be a regular or rich... And not many of the latter drive Mini's...

MINI On The News!

Saw an Electric Blue MCS on ABC 7 News. The coverage was about the NW Washington shooting of a man walking his dog the other night. Anyone want to claim their MINI? I believe the plates started w/ BR

Spotted a LY/W MCS w/a Woodstock decal in the rear window this morning around 7:20 AM at Route 28 and Gude Drive. Actually, you spotted me first and honked and then I passed by you and yelled "good morning!" It was great to see you

Hmmm.

Wow. Sounds like someone has a superiority complex. <- That's a joke son.

Or like when I'd trade smart aleck jokes and wise cracks with my Grandmother she'd ask me if I had 'delusions of adequacy'.

I grew up a bit north of Pasedena, and have been in No. Va for about 20 years. Honestly though, I see a lot higher percentage of shall we say, 'stuff', from the neon glow tube - wheel cover isle of Pep Boys here than I do in Md. Hey, if neon and spinners ring your bell have at it. They don't do it for me but I'm not going to look down my nose at someone because they do.

The biggest difference I think is that people not in super affluent areas tend to get things they like. Whereas too many (not most, but too many) folks in VERY affluent suburbs get things based on what the Jones's have, or will think.

Variety is the spice of life, but some like it hotter than others... Hey, I like that. Maybe I'll get it put on a window sticker on my 'Chili' Red...

You say Paprika. I say chili powder.
You say season salt. I say garlic.
Paprika, chillie powder. Seaon salt, garlic... Lets call the whoe thing off...

And if you don't get that don't worry, you're just to young to know the song...

After I made the turn I thought that I saw a flash of Liquid Yellow cross the intersection. I wondered if that was you and now I know.

By the way, I keep my rear shields at full power

Cruising up 95 north, thinking about what a fun day I had at Leesylvania State Park, when a DS MCS zooms by. Not wanting to miss a friendly opportunity to say 'allo', I caught up and pulled alongside.

I saw the Joker hanging from your rearview, but I couldn't hear a word you were saying, and didn't want to be rude, so I just nodded my head and smiled. I didn't yell back because my wife was sleeping in the passenger seat.

The Batmini & Joker, chance meeting, zooming up I95. Who'd of thunk it.

Always good seeing another Mini, and even better when driven by another Mini Enthusiast.

For a second, I didn't think I'd be able to catch up... You were moving at a good clip.

BTW, any Joker mods other than the rearview?

Indeed, Catonsville is extremely "affluent"

In fact, we're considering becoming part of the "DC Metro Area"...

Just tagged a DS/B MCS parked in a lot next to Javier Road and Route 50 in Fairfax. License plate was some 4 digit number - 4399? Something like that. Was a very clean and well maintained looking vehicle. :smile:
