Was It You?¿?¿?

I've got an idea! Kinda saw it on MINI2 and figured we could give it a try. I know every MINI owner won't response but lets see!

Heres how it goes! If you see another MINI driver try and post a description and/or license plate.

Ok heres mine!

Spotted a BRG MC, Plate: NERUBA *I believe thats it*, roof rack, chrome capped mirrors and a dog carrier in the back.
Spotted by Glory Days, EB-Games, and Shoppers off of Libera Ave.

And now you see if the person replies! Now I wait for my response!

Brand new Cooper S Orange Convertible in Rockville Office parking lot by the Twinbrook Metro on Tuesday. A couple of mini fanatics are in that building (and I have a MCSC on order). Give a shout if you are around.

Over the past three days at my local grocery:

New MSC Convertible, light blue, with black bonnnet stripes and black roof. You were right behind me entering the parking lot and then I lost you! Hey - there was an open space to park next to me..............

Electric Blue MSC - I left a card on your window.

Yellow Cooper - I have seen you twice as I am turning off 50 West but have never been able to catch your eye!

I parked next to an Indi Blue (don't remember roof color!) last night about 10:30 at the Patomic Yard shopping center Target in Annapolis.

I was out of cards.

OH Man Paul! You better get some more! HAHAHA

Speaking of cards... I need to put some more in my MINI and wallet! Thanks for the reminder!

Velvet Red MD

Sunday night (@ 18:30) I found a MC Velvet Red (is this the correct name for the marroon color?/) with MD plates parked next to my little one at Sam's parking lot !!

I alway make a point to park next to another Mini every time I see one in the parking lot.
OK, once I decided to park next to an ugly yellow Hummer 2; it was like : "The Beauty and the Beast" next time I' ll take a picture.

Saw an CR MC in the Fairfax High School parking lot on Saturday night (1/29) for a Blue Grass charity (Child Rescue Center) concert.

See surprisingly few given that I live fairly close to Sterling and work in Tysons.

On 267 westbound, just after the tole gate and again just as you got on to Rt 28 N. A PS/B MC with sport package wheels and a non USA - I think maybe US Forces Europe? - licence tag. I was in the Silk Green MINI with a red Van in tow.

Off topic but I was on the way to dent masters in Sterling. Dropped off the car this morning and picked it up at five this eve. I am very glad to report that they did a fine job. I would be gald to pass on their number to anyone needing work.

I didn't take a picture of the Silver car....


Oh, you ment my car. I could not take a before pic - so I do not have one. Paddy saw the whole hole. It was as big as your hand but the paint was not broken and the metal was just dented (badly) on a compound curve. Cant believe I had the dent for two months and did not take a picture of it. Kinda silly I guess.

Sharp MCSC

I saw this MINI in the Metro New Carrollton parking lot this morning when I parked. A very sharp MCSC in person. I also was trying to figure out why the passenger side fog light was on.

Please pardon the poor picture quality its from my camera phone.

Got the turn signal flipped up. It's a Euro feature of the MINI, in parts of Europe when you park on the street you're required to have a light burning on the street side of the car.
