dunno, wasn't paying that close attention. Saw it around noon today when I went out to lunch with some guys from work.
I think the car belonged to a guy eating at the bar/stool area in the Chipotle as I saw a guy sitting there with his keys on the bar I think I saw the MINI logo on it.

I didn't see the person driving it. It was parked at the Target parking lot on Rt. 198 and as I was leaving I noticed it was there and drove ALL the way back around to have a peek It was purdy

I spotted a yellow Mini with a white top, possibly an antenna ball, going south on 395, and got off at the Pentagon before I got close enough to see any other features, 10:10-10:20am this morning.

I just saw 3MINIs in the Harbourtown parking lot in Annapolis. Pimped 2 of them with DCMM cards, but the other one was motoring so...
one PW/BLK S
one red Cooper/white roof
Indy blue/white S.

This is all within about a five minute timespan. They're so ubiquitous around here, people don't even wave anymore.

Light blue metallic MCSC this morning on 395 heading south. Heavy traffic, but I managed to pull in front from the left and wave before proceeding to my right exit. Mini ignored me, jumped in left lane, and sped up into traffic. Was right before Maine Ave exit.

wow i just went read through all the posts and no one has seen me! maybe cause all the 'mean mini owners that don't wave' live near me. if anyone sees a yellow cooper, white top, white bonnet stripes, tag's first 3 letters are mrt, back window has a umbc sticker, usa swimming sticker, fins up decal, hfstival decal, rear right window has a ron jon sticker, and rear left window has a mickey mouse deal, with a nemo antenna topper, that would be me!!:smile:

Suga - it's amazing all these MINI owners on here and we get the ones who don't wave!

Well, I take that back. Was up by BWI last night and saw a dark blue MINI Cooper (not sure it was S) on my way to Los Portales and he waved. I didn't get a chance to wave back because we had passed each other already.

I also saw a CR/W with white bonnet stripes heading south on the B/W parkway last night too. It got off at I *think* Columbia exit...

That was a nice moment... Rt 50W in Falls Church, about 1 mile inside the beltway. CR/W MINI, license plate said: "02 SUV"

Headed in the same direction, you passed me as I was turning onto Williams Drive.

Nice waving with ya. I know you appreciated my license plate too! :smile:

Okay. Who here doesn't know how to wave? Huh? HUH?!

B/W Parkway yesterday evening around 6ish. You: Y/B MC (not sure if it was an S), the second car behind me headed towards B-more.

I looked over and you completely ignored me. License plate said BDKITTY.

Where's the love people? The love, for crying out loud?!

Saw a Silver MCSC with Black stiripes in Bethesda around lunch time today. I really like the stripes. Is it you? Where did you get them? I'm trying to attach a picture I took with my phone, but not having much luck.

Horn honker

You know what gets their attention? Passing them w/ a honk honk as you go by. That's my trademark move. I make it a point to pass EVERY Mini a see.

PS. Don't look for this car, I'm a Silver MCS w/ Italian flag in the rear window.

Do you have the Hey Horn from MOTORmate.com lol (http://www.motormate.com/heyhorn/index.php)



Silver MC or MCS going down the Prince William parkway toward Liberia Ave.

Blak MC turning right onto the Prince William parkway from Yates Ford Road, you waved back!

Actually the car in Matt's sig actually exists (but it's not his )... There have been pictures floating around on NAM of it for the past 2 or three years now...

If it was signed MiniZoom (in the SAIC lot?), that was me! I put DCMM cards on any MINI I happen by.
