haha, they came to the hard realization that their car is a POS and would have to give back the Mini at some point.

I had a PT rental once....never again!

I doubt that... Chrysler would then have a problem where the PTC owners wouldn't come back to get their car!

True, but after dealing with MoS, I wasn't so sure I was going to come back for my Mini.

To the person in the Purple Haze MCS w/ DC plates who waved in the rearview at me last night as I was following you East on E St by Judiciary Square, Thanks. (Yes, I like the run-on sentences.)

going north on rt.4, at the stop light where sakura, the new green turtle, ford dealer is, a black r53 came up behind me at the light. i rolled down the windo and wave and he waved back. as he passed me near the mcdonalds, he pointed and gave me a thumbs up. thanks.

also got a "deer in the headlights" reaction from a guy in a red cooper turning into wal-mart.

Yeah, once in a while I got spot.

I was there to get some snow gears for next week tubing run.

I saw quite a few MINIS today, but the one that stood out (and might actually belong to someone here) was a GP! It was parked on Clarendon Blvd in Clarendon between Fillmore St and Whole Foods.

I've seen a darkish blue/purplish MC cabrio parked along the curb/fire lane in downtown Bethesda in the evenings. Just right outside the Metro and Woodmont public garage. Maybe someone here?

I saw a Sparking Silver with tag "MINIMAC" parked on Connecticut Ave in Cleveland Park. I also saw a Hot Orange/Black convertible on Old Georgetown Road in Rockville, tag "MOOCHER".

I saw "MiniBee" (that's what the tags said) last night crossing the intersection of 355 and Old Gtown Road in Bethesda about 630pm.

I have also seen a darker blue with white roof MINI in the downtown Bethesda area - this morning you were pulling into La Madeleine on Old Gtown Rd at around 945am.

I was following Mr EZ as we were taking the 395N Exit from 495, but I was in my Subaru Forester. I tried to wave but you kept looking away, probably wondering who the psycho in the Subaru was. Nice looking Mini Mr EZ!

I really think Mystic turns invisble once I'm in it.

There were 2 Mini's at the Twinbrook Metro today, a black on black and a BRG/W. I think they may have been a couple because they were parked one behind the other. Both had after market wheels.

What will your tags be ?

Saw R56 MCS SS/B Rt29 south this A.M., I was heading north. Also passed a cute Baltimorian Lady this morning on the way to MOT, shoot me for forgetting but I think it was a DS MCS w/s-lites. And on 95 south just past Jessup a rarely seen Hyper Blue and Silver MCS with U stripe like Wensleydale. Emergency vehicle scooted you off the road, I went for the left side to get out of the way.

Earlier in the week two cute ladies in a BRG/B MCS on Edmonston & Powder Mill around 3-4 pm.

Cheers,

Mike
