During the travels to and from Salt Fork State Park, we had a local Englewood Horizon Blue/black Clubman (wave), a couple random interstate passes/opposite side of things, a R50 on a used car trailer, and passed a nice Chili Red R56 while on Saturday's Drive (Big, double hand, out the window wave from him!!!). I might be forgetting a two, I still need to catch up on some sleep...

I couldn't believe it when I saw a Cooper paprika color? in the ED parking lot at Coshocton Hospital today. I ran to my car and got the Mini business card with the Mid Ohio Motoring Club printed on it and left it under the wiper

I saw a sad MINI sight today. Silver/Black R53 with black bonnet stripes. On 270 east at Cleveland. Parked on the left shoulder with one of Columbus' finest parked behind in full flashy light mode. Looked like the poor MINI was going to have to pay the speed tax.

Strange sightings...for here

Wow.. picking up dinner tonight, I saw 4 MINIs within 10 mins... in Englewood!

Pulled into Papa Johns' plaza and saw a Nightfire Red/White R56 Justacoop( )... then leaving the same parking lot, I saw an R53 Blue/white. Thinking that was pretty neat for around here, I left for home.

Shortly before I turned back onto 48, I see a R56 MCS (Blue/white) go through the intersection in front of me. Finally, after I turn onto 48 heading home, I see a R50(3?) PW/B with black bonnet stripes coming towards me! Plus I got a wave from them!

Good times tonight.

No, it rolled in & out under its own power. Cooper & friends did a great job bringing the MINI from the dead.

I did not spot these MINI's myself but, a guy that works with Jason said he saw about 16 MINI traveling together on 675 around Dayton today Anybody know what was going on in that area??? I would have loved to seen that many!! It would have been like a MINI parade!!

Yes. That was fun to see you coming up on me. Then I decided to tail you... like it was a breakfast drive! Was on my way to Zanesville for dog stuff.

Was it the wave as I walked up you back sidewalk or the wave as I left your driveway?
