No worries, no offense. I wave (as does missus proto) about 99% of the time, but it seems like that one time you don't, it ends up here.

 

hey protoculture, did u see my post #297

did u put this 'site' together ur self?

 

Sorry, must've missed that one. Thanks for the nice words. I "sorta" put the site together myself. I've done a lot of Flash work in the past, but nothing that plays this much with php.

The "package" here is imagevuex (http://www.imagevuex.com/), and I chose it because I can just drop images in my web space, and it does the rest. But yes... the photos are mine.

 

10/17, 7:15 AM, Gude Drive and then onto Research Boulevard in Rockville. You were in a Blue and White MC and I was in the CR/W MC behind and then next to you. You have a Maryland tag MCC XXX (Or was it MMC XXX). I honked and you honked back.

MTFBWY,

hey man! hows ur vinyl lookin'? i met u yesterday- im the one w/the 3 stripes D/S on D/S MCS its a good thin' i didnt know it wuz u i would have worn u out talkin' about ur site & photos!!!!

 

Hey, I saw you again this morning on 267. First you park next to me at work now I see you on the road. Who are you? Lola: MCS Me: Red Head.

 

0645 am, 17th & Pennsylvania ave (next to the white house) heading north. Solar Red (??? looked burgendy metallic) manual with the Virginia 'lighthouse' yellow/blue plates. Girly driving a stick shift.

Didn't see my Mini, because I'm still in this poo poo buick lacross rental. :impatient

 

With the M7 grille and sweet PIAA rims? Damn that car is sweet. I kinda chinced on my rims, which were the style I wanted, but the dishes are a little shallow--which isn't apparent in the photos.

Vinyl's looking pretty good, got my black "S" decals in yesterday, so now everything matches. Milltek is screaming, just been a lot of fun lately. I even drove in to work today (concert at the Black Cat tonight), almost makes DC traffic bearable.

Happy to talk photos/site stuff anytime, man. Cheers! tenfifteen@gmail.com

 

Spotted you on Rt 50 yesterday... You didn't wave, course I was in my truck so there was no way you could spot me...

 

Was it maybe the old Velvet Red color? The Solar Red looks pretty similar to the Chili Red.

 

There's an old velvet red? Quite possibly then.

 

I was just at the Safeway in Ashburn a few minutes ago when I passed a parked MINI in the velvet red color. First time I'd seen one in this color. No mistaking it for anything else. I was wondering if it was a custom paint job, but sounds like it used to be a standard color.

 

Yup, standard up until early 2003, if I remember correctly. Kind of a Dr. Pepper can color.

It was never too popular, but I like it!

-Paul!

 

You can call it Velvet Red, but I call it "Devil's Food"!

With a white roof, it's a rolling cupcake!

Almost licked the first MINI I saw in that color combination..

Cheers,
Matthew Z.

 

Just saw two Mini.. one with plate "M NEE" or something like that.. IB/W or purple/w and DS/B with silver ssrs all parked in the small mall in Reston with Chipotle and Chik-Fil-A. Went into pick up a burrito, were gone when I came out.

 

um...ew

 

thx d0oD!!
..Concert at the 'BLACK CAT' huh!?!?!? koooolll.

 

Saw a nice classic Mini on the Balt./Wash. Parkway this morning around 8ish am. Red and white headed North towards Baltimore. Very awesome

 

i wanted velvet red with black roof and stripes when i first liked minis.

everytime i searched for one, they were ALWAYS automatics. grrr...

 

Been living at the BC/9:30 lately. 5 shows in the last 3 weeks.

 

YOU: Clean EB/B MCS at 14th and L, ~8pm last night. Nice ride! ME: DS/B MCS w/blk wheels, three passengers.

 

I hear ya. I usually only post my frustration when it's an obvious "safe wave" situation. In this instance, the girl was stopped at a sign right in front of me and I was obnoxiously waving and flashing...still, she could have been off in never-never land. I visit there sometimes too!

I haven't seen any MINIs on the road lately, but still out lookin!
