Minis seen in a cross-country trip

OK, we're getting old I guess. We needed something to do on our vacation other than see Elk and mountains.

So my wife and I counted Minis that we saw on a three-week trip from Florida to Colorado and back.

Interesting numbers.

We saw 177 total (we think). We probably missed a few.

The colors broke down like this:

41 red ones

19 br green ones

16 yellow ones

32 blue ones

26 white ones

12 black ones

12 silver ones

11 grey ones

1 brown one

2 orange ones

1 mint green one

2 "wine" colored ones

1 purple one

and 1 blue and yellow one on a trailer that "looked like a race car"

We saw more around big cities than we did elsewhere (duh) except in Boulder, CO. They are everywhere in Boulder it seems. And Colorado seems to have all the Countrymen. We didn't see any except in Colorado, but we saw a bunch of them out there. They are rare here in Florida.

Any way, just some interesting numbers to pass the time on the interstate.

I like your post. My boyfriend lives 45 miles from me and every time I go I always make a bet with myself on how many MINIs I will see on my drive. So silly, but it makes the drive fun.

When I lived in Florida there was only 2 Mini's within 5 miles of me, and I know both owners. Now I live in the countryside of GA, and I see 5-10 on a normal basis! Atleast they wave
