MINI Romances - Real or Otherwise

I think it would be cool to hear of MINI-based romances and encounters. In 05 I bought a used 04 MCS, silver. Almost immediately, at an intersection I had gone to every morning, I came across a real stunner in a silver MCS. Met crossed paths there practically every day at the same time. We waved, smiled and somehow communicated in a sign language we invented. Alas, we never met outside of those seconds at the traffic light. One day, I had to sell the MINI. Oddly, after that, even though I went to that same intersection at the same time everyday, I never saw her again. Anyone else have MINI "meeting" stories?

Wow, a mystery on-road MINI romance, how fascinating!

I know of a few couples that have met in MINI-dom, however I feel it's better if they shared their story instead of me gossiping about them!

That should have had a "Was it you?" in the local paper personals!

I have to confess.

I've fallen in love here on the NAM board. Yes, it's true. I love every MINI Cooper whose lovely pic has been posted. Of course, my love is deeper for some than others.

I know of a few, but I'll let them spill if they come across this. Sadly, nothing for me yet.

Are you sure this intersection didn't have a building with mirrored glass?

I've introduced and/or facilitated a number of MINI couples, who are on the road to matrimony. They can tell their own stories.
