No one has seen me yet

Saw ACTL SZE at worldgate parking lot in Herndon yesterday. Looked kind of lonely sitting all by itself, so we put both our MINI's nearby.

Twasn't me--I wasn't in Falls Church last night. And if it's any comfort, no one seems to have seen me yet either.

Yeah, 'ACTL SZE' was lonely. I always look for mini's to park next too ... even if it means I *gasp* have to walk a bit farther to my destination.

Thanks for making my mini a little less lonely, much appreciated.

I saw a blue (sorry, not sure which one) MCSc in the parking garage at Harris Teeter in Herndon on Wednesday afternoon. License plate was something like "WWEEE" and you had a decal on the side for your room or home organizing business.

I'm the '03 IB/W MCS R53 with Viper Stripes and 'ACTL SZE' as virginia license. I believe there is indeed at least another variant of "Actual Size" as a virginia license in the area. I don't have the reference at hand, but I think they posted to 'Was It You' thread some months ago. I don't remember the color, but it may have been chilli red or some such.

So I was in Herndon at the World Gate Parking lot on the top deck parked "alone" on the day in question. Hence my shout-out. I may be that another "Actual Size" plate variant was there also on the same day.

I was down in Clinton for work today, and parked my work truck across from a MCS Blue with white roof and mirrors, plate 1DF H98 ... I saw your NAM sticker in the rear window, and your "S for Sexy" sticker as well Do you work in one of those buildings? If so, I was looking at your roof today!

DOOOD!! That was me!! I heard you on the roof too. Crazy. I'm in the one closer to the road, when you first enter the parking lot. I work on the fourth floor and you were literally right above me.

I saw "ESC POD2" on Wednesday near Fairlakes in VA. I was behind you and a couple of lanes over, so you probably didn't see me.

I did a count of MINIs in my neighborhood the other night. In a roughly 6 block radius, there were 20 MINIs! (4 of them are Zipcars).

Ha!

I do need to catch up with you and Cooper...I gave Zoe her first haircut yesterday and let me tell you....I should NOT have done that myself.

Fortunately, she has no self esteem.

When are you showing up at another event?

I'm always so sad when I see MINI's and I'm in my work truck...It's like I want to hold up and wave my MINI key at them so they know that I'm with them in spirit!

I want to wave at other MINIs when I see them on the street.

We should start that, like motorcycle riders do.

The Perfect Morning! Triple MINIs - I was on my way to work in Gaithersburg about 9:00 a.m. today excited to be jammin' to my favorite band, Cowboy Mouth, on the radio when I pulled up behind another mellow yellow MCS w/white roof and MD plates at the light on the corner of Montgomery Village Ave (Route 124) waiting to turn left onto 355, when a dark blue MC convertible w/black bonnet stripes and Michigan plates pulled up behind me. I waved to guy behind me, he waved back. Driver ahead of me looked in her rearview and we waved to each other. The light turned green and we had our own little MINI run for about 1/4 mile when we all turned left onto 355. Other MY turned left into Lockheed Martin facility, as I passed them we waved to each other again. I looked in my rearview and the blue MINI turned into the second entrance of LM and flashed his lights to me as he did. I waved. Made my day! Thanks!

Spotted a white MINI on Centreville Road today around 11:30 this morning. I believe the plates said Motor On. Also believe it was a cabrio.
