Got a wave and a smile from an early model CR/W MINI cooper on Rt 28 this morning. I have passed this MINI once before during my commute and finally got a chance to wave

Ocius's twin

Olga spotted Ocius's twin motoring around in old Ashburn this afternoon. Didn't get a chance to wave though.

Now that I finally got my vanity plates, someone may notice me. The pic came out with a very natural and timely special effect in my gallery.

I bought my '04 used from him

He bought the exact same color combo in an '05 (IIRC) because he wanted nav.

Got an unprompted "drive along" and thumbs up this morning from a fairly new black Mustang... while I was in my old Mustang (1995 anyway). LOL... OK it may not have been a MINI thing, but it still felt pretty cool to have someone share some friendliness based soley upon my car.

ASHBURN

Anyone else on this board live in the Ashburn/Sterling/Leesburg area? We live in Ashburn and spotted three Mini's in a row while cruising around on Ashburn Farm Pkwy this afternoon. Got a wave from the third blue R56. Looks just like Ocius but with the windows tinted. If anyone here feels can't make it to the usual meets but feels like grabbing a cup of joe with us in the Ashburn/Sterling/Leesburg area, let us know! We'd be glad to meet ya!

Pawel and Olga (proud owners of Ocius and Bellissema)

I was walking near the Farragut North Metro around 4:30 Friday (?). Saw a guy in a blue MINI and gave him "the point." Got a big smile and a nod.
