And none of those cars will most likely join the club.. they're just "urban commuters that don't wave back." :-(

Not sure if this has been posted already, but I saw Bludy L (I think it was red) on W Ox Road last week. I saw an Electric Blue convertible with white boot and bonnet stripes ITALN JB (or some variation of that) at the Greenbriar shopping center on Saturday. Neither occurence had me driving my Mini at the time.

That would be Laura Jane - she lives near me and her MINI is MINI Pearl.

Saw a really nice EB MCS in the service bay at MoS earlier tonight - license plate was B3A5T. Also had a VMI license plate frame. Nice plate!

Actually, one of them did have MotD stickers and a DCMM sticker. Also had Actual Size and a few other decals.

I believe that's David Payne's Mini. He runs it out at FedEx.

Unfortunately, I wasn't driving my Mini at the time, but I did LOL at your license plate!

It was great meeting him and his (big) gang at the theatre.

Actually, I spot more than 10 Minis at the mall on the day.

That particular MINI is owned by the owner of the Burger King here in Warrenton. I haven't spoken to him yet but I will someday soon. The car sits out in front of the store from time to time.

HB/w Cooper, I was the fool waving from the passenger seat of a silver Huyndia (or how so ever ya spell it). My daughter is learning to drive, so we were getting some Motorin time - 3hrs, 180 miles of mostly back country. The club trips come in handy.

Thanks for the return wave.
John

Parked about 5 cars away from my twin (PS/B MC) at Famous Dave's in Chantilly at lunch on Friday. I was in a hurry to meet my table, so I don't know if you had a DCMM sticker, and I didn't get the chance to tag ya...

Blue MCS at Gold's Gym in Lake Ridge most mornings.

I'm the electric blue/white MCS that makes a point to park next to your car sometimes.

Was walking in Downtown DC today at about 1:30 at the corner of 12th and E and a CR convertable with license plate "RCKT DOC" (I think), with three passengers went by west bound. It had just finished pouring rain less than 30 minutes ago, and there was that gross moisture rising from the pavement.

The top was down and all three of you looked happy. Hope you had some AC going.

Driving up 29, got friendly smiles from a PS/B MCS and an EB/W with the tag QTFISH2.

THEN..... I came up behind Carlos in his Solar Solutions Truck!
We waved a few times, he honked at me, and we waved some more as we drove into Columbia.
