Saw a CR/B/B MCS on Wisconson and 40th St. with DC plates. I was sitting on my Br/L couch watching Ch.4 News when I saw you.

Saw the DC Metro GP yesterday.

Let me clarify and say I saw Marina... Because supposedly there are 15 other GPs in the area.

This morning on the Dulles Toll Road saw a BRG MCS with the plate JYW 9760 heading East. I liked your anti-Bush sticker.

I'm in San Diego this week and have so far only seen 5 MINIs. Only one looked modified and it was just rims and tires.

Ya gotta love that kind of commitment to top-down motoring.
I'll be doing the same when the temperatures drop here in Florida.

Where are you moving to in Utah? I was born there and I went to BYU but I grew up mostly on the East Coast. I don't know whether or not you're familiar with Utah but if not, I could give you some good survival tips

Yesterday, heading home from work, saw a BRG/W MC heading N. on 14th St in front of Reagan building with DC tags. You were swerving through traffic like a pro!
I thought I noticed a NAM sticker on your rear window, so I hope you see this!!

Saw a gentlemen in a MCS BRG/B with the tag of "Coop3r" on 95N between DC and Baltimore this afternoon. I think I've seen you around a few times before, too. Guess you didn't see me wave.

Saw Melanie today on 270! Finally I see someone I know and what does she NOT do? The music was toooooo loud for her to hear us honking (we were in the Element, so she didn't notice me hanging out the window waving at her!) But I did call her and tell her to turn down her music and wave!

There's a brand new CR MCSc parked outside the Pot Belly on Connecticut Ave.

Congrats to the new owner.

I saw a mislabeled JCW today. I know it's called Lenore, but for some reason it had plates that said "MIAMINI".

7:50 saw another CR/W (I think W) driving east on Gude between Research Blvd and 355.

Yeah, you were in the 495 West bound lanes. You know, the ones that get backed up every morning.

A guy who owns a Hyper Blue MCSC with Union Jack mirror caps. Last time I saw him at an event was probably 6 months ago at a Tate Breakfast.

Has anyone noticed that in the DC area that people are starting to wave more? With about the last dozen or so MINIs I passed in the last few weeks, I either received a wave back, or on a few occasions, answered one!

PS - Oh, and please excuse bad sentence structure & grammar in this post, as I've been drinking
