Sorry to the mini on hunter mill

I just wanted to see if i can find the guy that drove his blue mini into a ditch on hunter mill today. ok. probably if i tell yall the story then you wouldnt come up and reveal yourself. but i just cant help myself but tell it. so im driving down hunter mill and as im passing a horse ranch on my right side a mini passes me in the opposite lane and as he is passing i see him wave to me. and as i wave back i see that he doesnt stop looking. so i start looking at his car in my rearview mirror as he slowly veers into my lane straight towards a truck behind me. the truck beeped and the mini takes a hard right across the whole road and into the ditch in the other side of the road. im sorry that i didnt flip around and stop. i saw that the other car stopped. so you where in good hands.. but i know that my car is amazing but please keep your eyes on the road. lol keep motoring and out of ditches

Off topic, but I was looking at your pics on flicker.

What boost gauge is that?

Nice car by the way, how do you like the matte stripes? Would you go that route again?

I'm thinking "he" is probably very sorry he ran into the ditch, however,very pleased that he got such a good look at your beautiful mini.

Don't get the boost gauge. It's ****.
Love the matte stripes
And that's the only way to work

yeah, that's where I've seen it. I go there for lunch on occasion, but I work on Sunrise Valley.

Mine is a dark silver S with black bonnet stripes and a red leather interior.

Yeah I usually have my rush during lunch time. And the parking lot is usually to rediculous to look at during lunch also.. But I'll try to keep an eye out for you. We need to get a club meeting sometime. Never been to one yet
