I have thought about joining. I'm always so busy on Sundays but I'll try to make it to an upcoming event. It looks like you have a great time!

Here's my Mini...

We have a lot of events on Saturdays also. Come to the events that you can come to. Keep in mind that you don't have to come to every event. But on a good note every event I have gone to has been a great time and I have met a lot of wonderful people!! I definetely think you should join, you will enjoy yourself.

Even if you can only make one or two events during the warmer months, it's still a blast!

You - The vision of loveliness behind the wheel of the sparkling, stunning PW/B MCS eastbound this morning ~ 6:30 am on Braddock Road just prior to the beltway (JSP-2516)

Me - The PW/B MC playing hop-scotch with you for a half-mile or so

Though I couldn't get you to make eye contact, I felt like Curt Henderson (aka Richard Dreyfuss) in American Graffiti when he sees Suzanne Somers in the white T-Bird... ...was hoping for at least a wave to continue the fantasy!

My next dream MINI as represented in the Configurator is a LB/W MCS; however, I'm having second thoughts after seeing how cool your PW/B S looked with the bonnet stripes and other details...I'm starting to remember why I chose that color combo in the first place.

That sounded like something straight out of Missed Connections on craigslist.org

I dont know how many there are but I swear Alexandria has the highest concentration of BRG/W Minis including mine!

I ran into another one driving home last night. But that makes 3 in a week.

(I also love the PW/B combination above -- it looks very cool)

I followed "NOT BIG" down 29 this evening, but he zipped around cars faster than I could in the ol' Saturn (darn lack of power-steering in the MINI still!)... I figured it'd be weird for a Saturn to be waving at a MINI, so I didn't.

The way the sun is reflecting off your MINI in the reflection, it looks like its Solid Gold, not Solar Red pretty nifty.

saw a DS MCS today getting off 32 onto Broken land this morning at about 8:30am. It had some sort of aftermarket taillights, and the license plate said LUXOR.

Returning from "Britain on the Green"?

Looks like Mini's returning North from the "Britain on the Green" car show on Sunday. I think I saw those two vehicles in the parking lot when I left there at about 11:45 or so. There were at least 6+ Mini's in the parking lot when I left.

I tried to go there around 5, but turned to the wrong side of collingwood and decided to go home cuz I was tired after being on the water all day.

Moral of the Story: GPS > me when I am tired.

I followed "NOT BIG" on I-66 headed westbound for a few minutes on Friday evening. It looked like he had a NAM sticker on the back window so I was excited to see that he was a true MINI fan.
