How many MINIs do you see every day?
We all agree there are a lot of MINIs out there
...that being said...
I must have seen 50+ MINIs on the road this week.
And two days ago, a very rare sighting for me - IT WAS AWESOME!!! I saw 7 Mini's (2 JCWs) at 4 way stop light. For a moment I thought they were filiming the Italian Job Part 3, cause at one stop light, there was PW, CR, and Blue.

Where I live I'm lucky if I see one a month. I recently completed a 2,000 mile trip from central PA out thru MI and WI and back. I was amazed that I only saw one other MINI on the entire trip and I was very near Chicago on the way back.
A year ago I would have said I was lucky to see one other MINI a day. But in my area (Milwaukee-ish), I now see anywhere from 3 - 5 (or more) a day...
I'm really glad to see the car getting more exposure, but I have to admit a part of me (the selfish part) is a little sad some of the "mystique" or uniqueness is going away

My area is weird. I won't see one for a few days to a week then in 1 day, I can see 6. I don't think I have an average but if I had to guess, 3-5 a week maybe.

I live in a small town, and there's 6 of us with MINIs. Well, my car has been shipped to Northwest MINI for warranty work...so I guess that's 5 MINIs now...
Prior to mine leaving Alaska, I think only 3 including mine were daily drivers...

Average? Zero a day.
MINI's are very uncommon around here. I see one rarely; last one I remember was a BRG Cooper outside a Staples parking lot a couple weeks ago.
Actually, now that I think about it, I also saw a Yellow Cooper with a white roof last week. I think that's the extent of my sightings lately.

How many do I see every day? Just one....mine!
I can go days or weeks without seeing another one, then see 4 in one day. I drive 100 miles a day on the highway so I see quite a variety when I do.
I live near where they made that Chevy specialty thing, the SSR. I see those almost daily, year round. Far more than MINIs.

Not sure if I should say, some of you guys are very lucky you only see few MINIs or NOT so lucky that you don't see enough.
Like eVal I live in Bay Area, so we really do see a lot of MINIs every day. I'm not complainting, except I wish I saw more modified MINIs vs. stock.
Believe it or not, considering how many MINIs are rolling around the Bay Area, this year alone, I only saw 1 MINI that was modified. And this guy was driving so fast, I couldn't catch-up to give him thumbs up.

I very rarely see one here. I might average 2-3 sightings a month. I think I've seen a total of about 5 unique MINI's here.

I see 2 or 3 a week. Even though this isn't a massive town, there are alot around, but I don't think many are daily drivers. It's almost winter so those toys are probably in storage by now while mine will trudge through the snow everyday to work
Usually I see none. Today, however, I actually was stopped behind one (a nice orange convertible) at a light.
It was one of my first chances to give the wave but I got no response.
I know from the boards that there are a couple others around me, but I never see 'em.

Honestly I'm starting to believe its a Jeep and motorcycle thing.
