I sware I've seen this car b4 but they aren't a member of the DCMM group I don't think. It's a blue cooper with a white stripe down the middle, white top and white flames on the side. Saw him or her (couldn't see b/c i was passing another car and spotted the MINI so had to take a quick glance) around 1:45 PM today at the intersection of 450 and 197.

Also met a cool girl that just moved to the area with a black cooper while I was at Chic fil A - so I told her about the club as well as NAM

I would love to run out and tag it but I don't have anymore cards
krolyat --> I got this .pdf of the cards from one of the posts here. I haven't tried to print it out yet, though. Hope it works for you.

There are 2 05-06 MCs parked near me in the New Carollton Metro parking garage.
1. LY/B MC
2. CR/W MC

Too bad I didn't get there in time to park next to them.

on the way home Monday on the Greenway, I was in between two MCS Cabrio's....one white with aero kit and the other BRG with aero grill and wheels. Of course, I'd just dropped my car at MoS and was rocking the Chevy HHR loaner, so no point in waving

I hate when that happens! The only thing worse is waving at a MINI that does not reciprocate the gesture.

Tagged a PW/B (I think) MCS in the parking garage at Worldgate in Herndon on Tuesday. It had some unusual bonnet stripes. Most unusual was the license plate we were trying to figure out. 7&7IS. We just didn't get it. 14? 49? Something else? *frustration*.

Saw 9 MINIs on the way from Southern MD to Bethesda Naval Hospital and back today. Actually talked to one driver in the hospital garage who said he belonged to DCMM, got a wave back from another one, and the rest were to busy staring straight ahead or talking on a cel.
I see the New MINI is being shown at the Paris AutoShow. It is/was on the MSN homepage.

Heading home for lunch today on 95 I was driving in between two MC's. One was a 06 BRG/S with U stripe on the bonnet with PA tags. I waved and he waved back.

The other was a PS/B MC. He was making phone calls on his cel, but he still managed to wave. This was about 2pm this afternoon on 95N around the columbia area.

Ken, that was me.... Thanks for stopping me and saying hello. I've kind of been disenfranchised lately because no one seems to wave to me anymore these days.

Friday, 10/6, CR/White on Rt. 117, Clopper Road

Was that you, three cars ahead of me, crossing over Mateny from Clopper (in Germantown) where I made my right onto Mateny? It was around 7:30 p.m.

I was the EB/White, if you happened to see me.

yeah, I was a bit oblivisious this morning. First time I've left for work before 8am in probably a month. I also saw an EB MCS with VA tags and a Sterling plate frame heading heading down 95 South, they took the 495 West split when I went south.
