So how many MINI's did YOU see today??

I know I'm not the only one who looks for MINI's on the road. Surprisingly, I can go for about a week without seeing a MINI at times. Seems weird in Las Vegas. I did see 2 today though! Now I'm curious how many you saw today.

I drove from Columbus to Dayton (around 80 miles one way) and didn't see one. As soon as I got back to town I saw one right away and got a wave.

Hmmm I saw 4 But those were just the ones in the driveway

Saw 5 or 6 out on the road today. Normally see at least 3 on a daily basis around here. Might be the roads that brings them by

I see 3 every day in the parking lot at work (CR/B, CR/W, Cool Blue/B), but yesterday was crazy. Saw the usual 3 plus a HO/B and PW/B at work, HB/B (returned my wave ), AB/W, LY/W on the drive to and from work.

Too many in San Francisco. Every time I walk the dog (20-40 minutes), I see a minimum of 4 and it can go up to as many as 10. That works out to one every 3 to 7 minutes during a walk. I walk the dog several times a day, so that adds up to a lot of sightings every day.

I usually see 2 or 3 a day, most everyone I wave at waves back. Once in a while someone waves at me first. Maybe its that southern hospitality

I'll usually see 1 or 2 on the road in traffic daily and
4 to 6 in the parking structure where I park daily.

I'm leaving a card on each one to invite them to join the local MINI club.

Today one blue MC on the road
Parked-
Red cabrio
Black MC
Blue MC

Saw one yesterday. We both pulled into the same parking lot. Chatted with the lady for a moment. I hardly ever see any others around here, though. The lady I spoke with yesterday said she thinks there's about 10 here.

i keep a clicker-counter right next to my e-brake. i started counting since dec. 2006.

car dealerships don't count.
if i know of neighborhood MINIs and where they're usually parked, i dont count them again after the first time.

total MINIs seen thus far: 660+
