That was me. I have the aero kit (minus the rear bumper. My exhaust tips didn't fit) and I'm lowered on coil overs.

Very nice! See you from time to time, and maybe we'll meet up at one of the "official breakfasts"! Heck, we're getting enough on this side of Cbus we might have to start making up drives and making the other come to us!

I think I spotted Chili09 on Forest Hills Blvd about 7:00 this evening on our way from a wonderful Tex-Mex dinner. It was a spanking new CR/B w stripes R56 MCS. No wave, but I was in the NOT N MG.

You guys have some seriously good luck in spotting MINIs Sounds like I'll need to keep an eye out for you while we're cruising around.

Since we have been vacationing we have been really Motoring it up! We always try to keep an eye out for BRG and CR while we are over that way, thinking that one day we just might spot you guys!!

Cinci Brit Car Show

Spent the afternoon down in Cincinnati at their Brit Car Day. Spotted a CR/Check MC40?, IB/W MCS, SG/Welch MC , Silver MCS (all R53's except Jeff's R50) Also about 6-7 Classics (really wanted to drive the classic Morris S with a Turbo in her!)

Lots of great cars there... hope to post some pics onto my Flickr later tonight: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rcmini/

Then on the way home I had a stalker R55 following me all the way up OH-503... it was CR/B and looked like a Little Red Wagon

Overtook by a Laser Blue on 670 W, between 7-7:30 this morning. I kept pace with you and you didn't even acknowledge me.

No details on MME... but I've already scheduled off work

Saw a Silver R50 on the way home today... but she was on the phone and missed my exuberant wave

Saw a pepper white cubman down in hocking hills yesterday. If they saw me they probably thought they saw a brown Mini as mine still has not had a bath and since they are doing road work it will be sitting outside all week I hoper we get a storm to atleast rise off some of the grime.

So, we're supposed to report every single Mini sighting we come across? Come on! I see at least two a day, I can't keep 'em straight! Although I do make it a point to wave or flash the peace sign. (My wife think's I'm crazy for doing it, btw!)

it is starting to get difficult keeping them all straight. How about you point out the ones that you know people are in it for the lifestyle, not the "just good gas mileage" ones.

I saw a dark gray MCS, with checkerd mirrors and rear view, had nice tinted windows, on Dublin-Granville and N. Hamilton this morning.
Gave a honk and waved!!!

I spied a JCW Works guy today .

MR MINI on Polaris @ Africa Rd 7:30 AM eastbound enjoying the MINI lifestlye. I was headed westbound to get my tires balanced.

Mission accomplished... SMOOTH BABY....


*************** WARNING ***************

It appears that who I saw was not MR MINI. We have
an imposter lurking about. Beware!!!!!

BRG/BRG R56 cooper with white viper stripes bonnet to boot, westbound on 670 around downtown this morning. Sharp looking car, but then I'm partial to the color.
