I'm sure I might see you around town again. I noticed you live in Del Ray, I live just up the road at Mt. Vernon and S. Glebe.
I figured it was you from your original post; I just wanted to make certain.

So, yeah, I'm in Del Ray. I think we've actually waved to each other on Mt Vernon before. . .me heading the direction of Monroe St, you heading toward Glebe. There are definitely a lot of Minis here. But there are also a lot of folks who don't get the waving thing.

Oh well, I'll keep at it and look forward to seeing you around.

At the Marriotsville shopping center... I was showing the owner of a frame shop my MINI (his 13 year old son who plays lacrosse had already expressed interest in getting a MINI).... then Sherwins twin drove by... It was a checkmate MINI from Delaware, driven by an Indian guy....I thought it was Sherwin at first! He asked ,"where do you all meet?" I didnt have any cards on me, but I told him the websites to look at. Hopefully he will check out the club soon

EZ - Pass speeding tickets have to do with speeding through the toll booth itself not a measurement between booths. Not many people would have ez-pass if it that were the case. But in hearing this from someone else, i researched it and the only tickets are for speeding through the booths.

Whether or not Dan's worker got an EZ-Pass ticket or was pulled over by the police on the toll road itself is something different.

Dairy Godmother is definitely good stuff. But with the nice weather we've been having, the place is always a madhouse!!!

BludyL, Yeah I tried waiting up (at the merge) but then saw an oppurtunity to merge with your lane in front of you and ... traffic anxiety got the better of me. There must have been somebody barging lanes, because post the slowdown I never saw you again.

Sorry for not acknowledging the wave back, much appreciated even if I didn't see it.

Woo...Hoo....

Today I Spot, actually, parked side by side next to MCS DS/DS and MCSc CR/B. We were all parking right in front of the club house at Timber of Troy GC in Columbia, this morning.

Well represent, MINI rules.

Spotted a GP in for service at Tate Tuesday when I was picking up my metal tags. Had the number on the windshield.

My brother spotted a mini w/ a bunch of stickers in their rear window, including an Actual Size one, the other day. He was in his white e30 BMW w/ a Pirate euro plate.

Saw a slick looking Blue/Blue (possibly Indi Blue?) MCS at Dulles yesterday, plate MR EZ with lots of decals on the back.

And by "saw" I mean:
1. We both pulled into the United drop off area to drop off our passenger
2. We were both informed by our respective passengers that we would be coming in as well, or so it would seem as we both circled around and pulled into the short term parking at the same time.
3. We saw each other in the airport, he was sitting with his passenger, I was walking with mine.
4. We both were pulling out of the lot at the same time, but I had to wait in the longer line to pay cash.

Random, but fun! Are you here on the boards?

MR EZ you're getting around! I spotted you today downtown by the Convention Center.

Me PW/B waving frantically - you not even a wave. Sad horns.

Saw 2 MINIs turning from Van Dorn Street (south-bound) to Braddock Road (west-bound). First was LB/W, driven by a gentleman. Right behind him was PW/B, driven by a young lady. Tried to give them a thumb-up as I wait to turn left from Braddock Road (west-bound) to Van Dorn St (north-bound), but they didn't even glance my way. But then I was in my dark green Saturn coupe.... It was just remarkable to see 2 MINIs together, as it's hard enough to see more than 1 or 2 a day.

This was at about 1:05 pm this afternoon...
