Saw an Astro black R56, white sports stripes and rear fogs on (ouch) this morning driving down rock creek park.

How's it going? Seems like we hit park right around the same time. I think every other time I've seen ya I've been a few cars ahead.

Another DCMM member told me she saw a dark silver Mini that got into an accident, yesterday, at the gas station near the Edsall Road East exit and Sullivan Place. Anybody know if it was a DCMMer?

I saw something interesting today ....... was driving back from NYC on the Jersey Turnpike and saw a Black Navigator with Maryland plates towing a flatbed trailor with a GP on it with Jersey plates. Number on the GP was 0079.
GP didn't have stock wheels. Waved to the driver and he looked at me like I had two heads !!! I was in a loaner 08 MCS from Towson. ......... Just weird .............. Christian

I got a wave from a Chili Red with black stripes MCS today. He was behind me on U St. He turned south on 17th.

I also saw a Astro Black cabrio headed north on 13th (at Florida ave), I waved but they weren't paying attention.

Saw a very new and clean clubman yesterday. parked at that medical building across from Calvert Memorial Hospital in Prince Frederick. If you live around there you know what im talking about.

Pepper White/Black. Brown lounge leather and chrome line inside. manual too. I couldnt resist, i stopped and looked. still had temp tags.

after looking at it, i went to the atm at wawa, and on the way out, you were leaving too. i raced up next to you honking away and waved. you waved back.

I probably know whose GP that is and where it was going. Are you sure it was a Navigator though?

There is a MSC (Blue, PA plates) that is parking on Saturdays in a lot of Patrick Street in Alexandria. I tagged you last week, but left you alone this week.

Also yesterday, two MINIs outside Mishas in Alexandria. Did not walk over. Could tell the Cabrio had personalized plates.

Would anyone do early morning Saturday coffee and MINI there one Saturday? I have a standing 9:00 am appointment on the same block. But we could meet maybe 8:00 am? Coffee is good. So is the hot chocolate - since I am not a coffee drinker.

You would not have recognized me as I was driving a 2007 Yellow MC loaner from Towson.....very glad to have my 2003 back now

Man, LOTS of MINI's out and about today!!!

Spotted a yellow MINI driving down Braddock RD, near campus on the way to class. Spotted a Blue MINI at the light at University Mall on the way to campus 30 seconds later. AND.....There was a turquoise/ light green (not to good at MINI colors yet) Cooper leaving campus directly in front of me this evening.
