Saw this after I left work yesterday. Mine's the CR on the right. I looked up, and there they were, all getting along nicely. This can't be a coincidence. It made my day!

 

Nice. It's always fun to try and park next to other MINIs. Kind of a way of ensuring you do not get a door ding.

 

MINIs have their own radar - they seek each other out Neat picture -thanks!

you could almost call that the modern day "Italian Job"

 

Not a more fun sight around than a flock of MINIs!!!

 

First off, what rims do you have?
Second, were they all Cooper s's? The others look like there non-s

If all is true that makes the pic even better. All the same Just about Identical..

Awesome Picture..

I will deliberately park next to another MINI. Whenever I see another MINI I get excited.. I smile, wave, follow, pull up aside, whatever I can do. If he is parked on the other side of the parking lot... Well, I have a long walk now dont I??

 

Is a great picture. Maybe some days you all can go motoring together.

 

Not much sweeter in life than seeing 3 MINIs all parked next to each other !!

Thanks all, glad you enjoyed it. It put a smile on my face the whole trip home. By the way, when I left the car there in the AM, neither of the other MINIs were there, so they did seek me out!

The middle was a 2007 (or '08 I guess) Cooper, the left was an R53, and mine is as well. They all had different rims!

 

Perhaps they do and dont know it. I could see the scene..

Guy 1: "I was at <wherever> and I parked next to this red MINI"
Guy 2: "Yea, I saw a red one and a blue one so I parked next to them at <wherever>
Kentiki: Was it by chance at <wherever>... yea.... Interestding meeting...

 

Especially when they're all yours, eh?

 

Except when it's time to wash them !

Actually, I was waiting for someone to chime in with, "There's one thing that's better.... FOUR of them !!".

 

There is a guy that works in my building that parks next to me when he can.

 

Is it a flock, or a gaggle?

A nice and fun surprise, regardless!

 

You're right, I always park next to a MINI (or a Mini) every chance I can. The only time that I can count on it, though, is Saturday morning at the gym.

 

There is a nice Blk on Blk Convert MCS at my work that I'll park next to.

Over the weekend I pulled into a spot right next to a spankin' new R56 at a restaurant.

Was a funny scene, as I'm always running around with my wife and young son and people are always amazed when we hop out of the car... (Windows are tinted - and I'm 6'3"). Sure enough, there were 3 adults hoping out of the R56... so we took note!

Then the driver commented that I had nice taste; his wife chime'd in that their mini was brand new.... I said it was very nice (it was!) and had great new car shine.

Then.... the gentleman said "...and mine's faster than yours." I quickly stated "only if your warranty isn't intact!"

Ended up sitting adjacent to them and chatting on the side.... was good fun!

 

That is great! I love parking next to other MINI's! My friend and I make sure we point out every MINI we see when to go places. There are actually A LOT around!

It is things like that, that set "us" out of the ordinary. A "special breed" you can call it but it the fact you can talk to a complete stranger that has the same good taste as you.. Its a special thing, that only TRUE MINI owners have
