You must have left work early like me since it was so nice. But you didnt seem all that nice. Ignored me and I was driving right next to you. Jabbering on your cell phone of course

495 inner loop
Blue/Black roof
Bright orange shirt
MD plates

Did you have racing harnesses?

Maybe it's just me: When I'm driving--particularly on the beltway--the last thing I'm doing is talking on a phone. *Or* waving at adjacent strangers.

If we're approaching one another, or sitting at a light, that's one thing, but I'm never gonna do more than glance over if another Cooper's next to me while we're going 55+.

I was on Canal street around 5-5:30. was it me? I was half asleep on my way home. Take a look at my gallery for pics.

I usually try to wave at all MC/MCS's.

Well, I was in my Solar Red/Silver MC....I am quite sure it was a lady, but then again I too was driving half asleep and caught the wave at the last moment.

About a week ago, headed towards the Landover Metro, you were in a DS/B with headlights on. I was headed the opposite direction.

We both came around the bend at the same time and I flashed my highbeams at you and got a nice flashback

On Lee Jackson Highway near Greenbriar, about 4:00 pm today, you waved from a HB/B MCS with black hood stripes, silver S-Lites, and temporary plates. I was driving my DS/DS MCS with black wheels, and I waved back (of course).

33rd & M St. in Georgetown Saturday night - 2 AM -, got a wave and a wave back from a red MC...

Just a few minutes later, I saw my car's clone (with the exception of webspokes) getting onto Key Bridge...

MINI Reaction

I hate to say it, but here's what I do when I see...

A MINI ahead coming towards me: wave; flash lights; climb on the hood and tear hair out.

A MINI coming up behind me: wag wheel. downshift. Bye.

A MINI ahead of me: deperate passperiation. I WILL catch up to you.

It's funny--when I'm driving my Ford SUV or my Honda Civic, I never see a MINI unless they are passing me. Whenever I drive my MINI, I never see anothe one....Hhmmmmm..., maybe that's why MINIs don't reproduce as fast as Camaros?

Saw a beautiful CR MCSC on Rte. 29 south bound today by the 175 exit. Nice.

I do that too

I think it was Monday when I saw a CR/W MC on Rt 50 to Annapolis. You got off at the same exit to Rt. 2. DC tags. Guy with sunglasses. I tried catching up to you, but traffic got the best of me. You turned off onto a side road about 3/4 of a mile after the exit.

Lastrega, was it you this morning on Central Ave (214) heading east?? You were in a MCSC with a number on the side. I think itwas the #23 ( my favorite #). I waved but was heading pretty fast the other direction.

motored from annapolis to bowie with an 04 or earlier red/white MC with exterior chrome, and a teenager in the passenger seat headbanging and pumping his hands up and down at my Mini with a huge grin on his face. Obviously happy.

I saw you: Dark Silver white top w/ driving light? I was going pretty fast myself as in my direction the traffic was light!! My number, however, is 22 (mine and my dog birthday and kind of lucky number for me)

Waved with a CR MCS (I believe... could have been an MC) with white bonnet stripes going down George Mason Avenue between Alexandria and Arlington.

Thanks for the wave
