Geographical locations of all 150,000 MINIs in the US

Is there some sort of map for this? It just hit me and I'm strangely curious about it... I wonder where most MINIs live. LA and FLA are the tops of course I'm sure.

Go to "MINI Talk" and select the forth sticky...you can find other motorists around you by zip code....lucky for YOU is that you HAVE a zip code and i have a postal code and i can't take advantage of this beautiful work of uhh...i guess "coding"...thats my rant...

I don't know about all Minis. The Mini2 website has a feature that allows members to plug themselves into Google Maps, and you can see where everyone is. Maybe NAM could do the same?

I've tried that zip code thing, and it never works. No matter how many times I add my zip code, it's never there. Even a month later.

I did a map of where I've shipped MINI circuits too; it's probably a good approximation of where MINI enthusiasts live ...

Check out the age/gender/location thread. It doesn't map within the state, but there's a running total. If you want to start a frappr map, go for it!

Like the map posted above, you can pretty much expect the most MINIs to be in the major metropolitan areas. The Northeast, Cali, Chicago, Florida, etc... I do know there are a ton of MINIs here in DC.

MINIUSA knows, but they aren't sharing...

MINI keeps a recall contact database of all of the 150,000 U.S. MINI owners. So, if they wanted to, they could provide the details.... If you wanted to spend the cash, you could also do a disclosure request of all state departments of motor vehicles....

Wow ! Look at all those MINIs in New Jersey !! Half the population must own one.

Well, okay... I'm sure that's the overflow from Philly and New York.

Looks like Montana is a MINI wasteland.

Nope - we own two! And one of Ian's NJ dots is me because I ordered two auto up's from him!

Someone needs to make a new thread with a link to the Frappr site in order for it to be stickied.
