There's a classic with a for sale sign... Red Mini white stripes, on Rt 50 about a 1/8th of a mile west of Fairfax circle. In front of a store out by the road on the North side of the street...

I've seen that Mini a few times around the Essex area but I'm either working or heading in the wrong direction when I see it to get a close-up of it.

7:30AM or so westbound VA267 Toll Road right about the Hunter Mill Rd exit, BRG/W MC pre-2004 gave me the V for victory as I was reaching to wave. Good day to you sir.

Damn, what is this world coming too? 2008 ends with a couple people actually waving to me before I can wave to them. Here's to 2009 continuing the trend. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Spotted Scavenger at MOS today. Sorry i didn't actually get to say hello, you were checked in by somebody else.

I did however check in another DCMM member today, but don't know your username on here. Black/Black MINI S, with dark tint, chrono pack, tinted taillights, JCW bodykit, and silver wheels. Looks VERY close to my setup in the spring/summer.

Sure it was the Victory and not the other meaning ? Churchill used to do that when referring to Hitler

I see lotza MINIs the past few weeks, a wave or two returned but that's it. I consistently pass an O2B/W MC, Lightening Blue MCS w/white racing stripes, a Clubman in NF Red with black racing stripes, PW/B R56 MCS and a Silver MC on my way to and from work, I wave and never get replies.... I guess they think I'm nutz.....I do see MrMagoo often and he's always good for a wave

Tagged a 08 Dark Silver hardtop at Home Depot in Ashburn yesterday. My first tag!

Tagged my neighbor's brand new 08!

Sadly, my membership kit didn't contain a window cling

How do I get one?

Saw a silver R56 in the parking lot where I work yesterday, and I think Monday too. The JCW body kit was looking fresh. It was in Clinton, MD at 7915 Malcolm Road. I tagged him/her, maybe we will hear something from them. I didn't see the card on the ground.

Followed and waved to 2004+ MCS DG/S Va Plates 'M TINI' this morning, outbound 66 and extension to the Dulles Toll Road at about 10:15 DCMM sticker in the driverside rear window. Your car was so clean, my Mini was so not. Goo' Day.

I know this is suppose to be a local thread, but ....

Saw five or six MINIs in Key West last week. Half cabrio, majority justa's.

Then saw two or three more up in Marathon and Islamorada this week.

Finally saw a Clubman on Card Sound Road heading south when we were on our way back to Lauderdale yesterday.

What do those poor devils do for twisties??
