MINIs at work

I've seen three other MINIs in the parking lot here at work. Someone has a 1st-gen BRG with white roof. I've parked next to them a few times, but I haven't found out who it is yet. And a couple of days ago, I saw a nice Lightning Blue (I think!) 2nd-gen with a black top and stripes.

And last Thursday, my grand-boss showed up with a brand-new Justa Countryman in Chili Red! She likes it a lot.

No photo opps on that yet.

At my work parking lot, there are quite a few as well:
1. Cooper S, Chili red, convertible
2. 2011?, cooper S, horizon blue
3. Pepper white, cooper
4. Chocolate Clubman
5. Chili red Cooper. I don't think it is a S model
6. Mine

I work in Silly-con Valley as well. I'm assuming Silly-cong = Silicon. :-)

Silly-con == silicon, yes.

Grand-boss is my boss' boss. I've also heard it referred to as "boss^2".

No MINIs where I spend my days, not even mine, it's temporarily semi-retired.

No, no--the "big cheese" is quite a few more levels up from the grand-boss!


Btwyx, it seems like one of your co-workers is proud to be from Hawaii! ("808 GIRL".)

I see you like the boot



There are 3 other MINI's at my job

1) 2011 Reef Blue Hampton
2) Dark Blue R56 Justa
3) BRG/W R53

The Hampton and I park next to each other a lot, the others haven't joined in yet.

I'll play. These pics of red and blue were taken on the same day at work. The matching motor cycles is what caught my attention.



The R56 belongs to a vendor (my old R53 in the background)



Lastly, used some creativity to capture four MINI's at work in one picture
