So I guess there are vibrations of MINIacs as well...we can see all other MINIs but they are OUT OF SYNC and can't see us But I have had Harleys wave to me. Must be the flames.....

Are those the guys with the fake beards, tattoos and ponytails ? Weekend wanna be's ?

I once saw what I consider to be the ultimate Harley Guy back in the early 90's before corporate execs decided bikes were cool.

He was a young guy, maybe 25, long hair but not past the shoulders, had an original bone dome, black tee, big old tattoos on his arms, an older bike, maybe a hard tail ? but it was really used, I mean dirty and tough looking what was really cool was the showmanship, he didn't use turn signals, instead he held out his hand like a pistol and "fired" in the direction he wanted to go, with the re-coil action too ! I'm a dramatic type and I thought his "show" was great !

Back on subject - passed a PW/B R56 MCS at Powder Mill and the Parkway this AM, I'm guilty of a delayed wave, still not quite awake !

Wow, you guys are tagging 8 and 10 in teh same day? Maybe i need to get out more.

I tagged my second one last night in Gaithersburg (at the same place as the first). This one was black. Didn't see if it was MC or MCS or plates. I was in a hurry so i tagged an ran. Guy and girl got out with a small child. (I tagged after they went into the mall). Was it you?

Haven't put my cards in the car with me yet. The only time I ever get to see another Cooper is when i'm driving; i don't get away from school and or work much, so not much time for going out somewhere and tagging a MINI i might see.

well I have been hoping to get "spotted" but no luck, and none of my passer bys wave at me...

however, if the guy in the 2001 m st. garage DS/MCS with the door ding protector is in here... GOTCHA!

I AM a MINI magnet! theyre everywhere around my work downtown...and i live just down the road from MoT- so i am constantly surrounded. Too bad none of them take the time to wave back

Otherwise i'd be a happy camper

....and most men would like to work where i work. (but not bc of the MINI's) It's the Alex Brown building (so its directly next to "the block")

Had a CR/W MCS with White Bonnies behind me on Rt50 in MD this AM. Funny, they moved behind me, I waved, saw no wave.....I moved over for my turn off and started to slow, they also slowed even though they were going off on the other exit and were no longer behind me.....almost like they were avoiding me....

Couldn't see the driver, maybe it was a female who's a bit nervous of bizarre smiling waving men

Nice car though, I really like the CR's with the white bits, Wensley was almost ordered like this.

I got a hearty wave from a classic Mini last week driving through Martinsburg!

I also got a wave from a PW/B and I spotted a burgundy (not sure the official color title) MINI in Shepherdstown by Morgan Grove Park but I didn't see you til it was too late to wave. :(

I'm seeing a lot of MINI's in Ranson/Charles Town lately.

Also forgot, a lady who was riding what looked like a BIG tricycle in her front yard on the road between Point Lookout Park and St Marys, MD waved at me.

Motor On (...I think )
