Alabama Sightings

I searched the BAMA thread for a "sightings" thread and couldn't find one...so I'm starting my own...

My parents live in Summerdale and sent this 9/5 sighting to me - PW/B being towed by a RV. I can't get the picture to load, but its in my gallery if you think you know who it is...or if its you!

Never seen it. Oddly, of all the MINIs over the years I have seen here. I've only seen 2 PW MC's. One in Birmingham and one in Huntsville. Though I do believe John Monks, MINI of Nashville, his old MCS now resides in the Florence area.

It probably not even an Alabama MINI...It left before my dad could get me a license plate. Its a RV'er so probably from elsewhere. I did find it interesting that a MINI was a tow car! I hope it has a clear bra!!

EB/W MCS going north on Hwy. 280, Wednesday, October 18th, around 3pm. Don't think it was OrthoMini. Plus in our neighborhood we have another LY/B MC, I need to find their address and send them a post card with the website on it.

AB MCSc parked on Maryland near Montevallo Rd. I commute down that stretch, and have seen it several times. Nice new checkmate, I believe (the top was up today, but I Have seen it down). No tag yet.

I'm still new, so if the "B" in AB means black, I saw that one last week (near Oporto & Montevallo). I've also saw a light blue (I can't recall the true name) cabrio in the same area over the past couple of weeks. Off topic, but ours got rear ended a couple of days ago. Nothing major, but still damaged. Of course the other driver had no insurance.

"Of course".

Sorry for the accident.


I think AB is the paint code for Astro Black. At any rate, I'm pretty sure I felt the need to double-check.

I saw either a BRG/B or AB/B MCS travelling eastbound on 280 toward chelsea at around 4:50 PM on 12/03/06. Didn't get too good of a look at it because it was mostly dark but it did sound like they had an aftermarket exhaust. Any ideas?

Edit: Right past 119 around Doug Baker Blvd

I saw a blue S in Homewood on Sat oh hwy 31, didn't get a wave. I stopped on the 459 grant's mill overpass on Saturday to catch the killer sunset, and a wine colored (velvet red?) Cooper pulled up behind me to make sure all was ok; Nice exchange, that was cool. Hope to see them at the dinner.

I thought there was another "was it you" thread. Oh well, correct me won't you.
I read about BamaTT in the driver's way column the other day.

Spotted: Black MCSc at Brookwood Village a half hour ago. Parked in that dear little spot I've always been tempted to park in, at the W parking garage. Tagged: Someone placed on the window a "Remove it or have it removed" purple sticker.

Let's do the Bump

Thought I'd bump this up for fun~

IS there a "Was It You?" Thread?
I can't find it.

I met Jeremy this evening at the DQ on Deerfoot Parkway.
Nice car and even nicer guy~

Glad to know you
CyaSoon~

....also, today while driving to the movies in Trussville, I had people in the car next to me take pix of my Mini.
How cool
