Silver S (don't remember roof color, but I think it was black?) with dark tinted windows and a Dragon license plate holder coming out of the National Business Park by Ft. Meade around noonish today.
We beeped and waved at each other coming out of the business park, and again as I left Rt. 32 to go on to the BW Parkway.
(And speaking of that, how the F&%$ were there not one, not two, but THREE accidents on the inner loop of the beltway heading home at around noon today?! Beautiful day, roads dry, sun shining overhead... Really, DC metro area, WTF?! It took me nearly 2 hours to do what should have been a relatively peaceful 45 minute drive!!!!)
-Paul!

The folks crashing into one another decided that it was too nice outside for you to get home only to be a couch potato. They simply came up with a creative way of looking out for your best interests by keeping you outside on a nice day.

I guess so... and it was good practice to nearly constantly shift for three sets of about 30 minutes each!

Do I know this person???? :-p
Was out around Bethesda going for lunch at Midpike and spotted:
Looks like the MINI just got in the spot (and perfectly centered between the lines
) the way those other two are horribly parked

Well - that jacka$$ in the silver car was laughing as I had to back up to let my mom into the car. I called him a jacka$$, so hopefully now he knows. I checked to make sure there were no scratches ( if there were he would not have been happy after dealing with me).
To its defense the red car was parked almost a complete open door away. The silver one pulled in well after I did. I hate that parking lot!!!!

.It says: "Thank you for coming to the earth to park like such a moron...." and so on...and then has room for me to fill in my own thoughts
or you all can be like me and just park in a corner next to a curb. That way you are two feet away from the line of the spot. That way you are safe, well at least safer than parking in a normal spot.
everybody at my work think i am crazy cuz my MINI is always an inch away from the curb.. literally.

Velvet Red/W Cooper at the Avenue in White Marsh tonight (Fri Jan 5th) around 5pm. You had Backroads & Battlefields III decals and I think B&B II on the rear drivers side window. And a MTTS decal on your boot window. I think you ate at Chilies, because when I went to put my name in, there was a gentleman standing with a MINI toy/model in the waiting area (CR/Checkered Roof). Who was this?

Liquid yellow / W MCS on Rt. 29 on the way to Columbia this afternoon. You have DCMM decal on the boot window. We cruised together for couple of miles until you took the exit to get to Rt 32E. We both wave.
Nice ride though, by the way.

You were a Silver/B Checkerboard roof MCS (I think) on 126 (or 129) and Brink Rd around 10:30 today. I was in a blue Element.
I need to post here more often. I see MINIs all of the time and just forget where I see them. Perhaps if I carry a camera, I can just post a pic and say "I saw you here" and time stamp the pic.

here's one i haven't seen in awhile. I saw an SB justacooper over by the lake across from columbia mall yesterday parked on the side by sushi sono. Don't see too many of the SB.
I would never be able to keep track of all the MINI's that i see on the road. (especially with my short term memory or lack thereof)
