Well that makes me feel a little better than. Don't have the heliport roof anymore because it was a misunderstanding on my part. New roof will be on this coming Thursday.

I tagged a Sparkling Silver that was parked on Columbia Rd - it had a DCMM cling! I got so excited I didn't notice the plates or if it was an S.

I got a wave from a silver/black cooper while Dave and I were giving Cricket a bath.

We saw GP 0733 parked on Highland St in Arlington.

Ambrosia/AliceCpr07,
I agree that maybe I am just as at fault in the situation. It is always easier to blame someone else than yourself .

If ever confronted with that uncomfortable situation again I will try the opening line "nice car". That seems harmless enough, and I will report back.
Oddly enough a lady with a VW Beetle parked next to me at the Shopper's on Memorial day and she couldn't stop talking about my car and how great it was. I couldn't get a word in.
Go figure

That might have been me, except my plate is "LTS MTR", no 'Z' in it. Where did you see this car and what time? And check my gallery to see if it's the car you saw.

Yep, it was you. I was taking a test Sunday and saw you in the Hotel parking lot. I wasn't driving my Mini. I don't like to leave it on the street for extended periods of time.

Before I forget, yesterday morning, driving in the express lanes of I-395 northbound, near the Pentagon around 9:15 am or so, a red MINI (not sure whether it was S or not) came behind me--I saw him in the rear-view and waved--he waved back. A few seconds later, we split and we waved to each other again as he passed me on his way to DC as I headed to Crystal City.

I parked in front of "MMINI" (very pretty license plate! I wish DC had more interesting ones) in the Market Common in Clarendon, yesterday. I also saw a liquid yellow/white MINI parked at the Whole Foods in Clarendon.

Green MINI with JCW, driver with mustache, blew through barrels into closed two right lanes to get past 2 block backup in Alexandria Rt 1 north bound today! I saw and remember your tag but won't go that far... though I should.

BAD, BAD, BAD, MINI! On behalf of the "MINI owners are or should be above being *********s club" I strongly encourage you to rush to the nearest carmax and trade your MINI in on a piece of crap you so richly deserve.

And thanks for waves to the Chili Red with white roof yesterday!

Tagged a PW/B MCS at the White March Costco today after I filled up Otto in preparation for tomorrow's festivities.

MCS had chrome mirror caps, Tuscan leather and a MINI bulldog on the back seat back. It also had "ZIG,ZAG,ZUG" ***** on the antenna.

Chili Reds wave! Nice wave from a S with bonnett stripes southbound on 270, and another just north of Mt Vernon on GW parkway.
