I saw a MINI today...

I NEVER see Minis in this area. But I saw one today (ok, really, yesterday)

But this is when you know you have MINi on the brain:

I was at a taco bell drive thru, looking through their menu. Their big menu board is all messed up... and I see the reflection of a mini in it. I am like "Is that a mini?" So I start looking all around and sure enough, there is a mini cooper s red/black hard top. Crazy when I see it through a broken menu board reflection (and it was background menu board color red too!)

MINI on the brain.

BTW if you live in Texas, park near a tacobell and across from a starbucks and have a red/black mini... I saw you!

Something alike happened to me last week.Where i live they are very few minis.Ever since actually thinking of getting one.. i have suddenly spotted them a bit more.

Just the other day, i was parking at college.And the car in front of me was exactly the mini i was thinking the day before.Just the same specs and color and stripes.That day i started telling my mom that it was a sign, and we both laughed.

I really don't pay attention to this things.But , ive noticed that ever since i been more mini aware,i ve been spotting A LOT more minis than before.

well theres this phenomenon in North Houston where all they manly business men drive their M3's and A8L's and 911's and C-class's to work during the week, then have an MCS stashed away in their garages for the weekends!

i swear thats what theyre doing. its a giant conspiracy that i just uncovered

but seriously thats what it seems like

Last night I saw 6 Minis in the parking lot. I have not seen so many at one time. Not, even at a Mini dealership.
