Earlier today I was in Saunderstown, RI, leaving the Gilbert Stuart Home and turning left (south) on Route 1, waiting forever. Before I was able to turn, as I was looking both ways, a red mini w/ white roof was flashing its lights at me as it drove by heading north. I was excited to see another Mini and so was my motoring buddy. Finally I was able to make the left to head south on Rt 1 and as I finished the turn, just one minute after seeing the red mini, a indie blue with white roof mini was heading north.

So fun to see not one, but TWO MINIS. Are the drivers on this board? Must have been motoring together.

Just made my day.

Neat! I LOVE that, too! Last night we went out and as we were reaching our destination my boyfriend pointed out a silk green/black Cooper parked right on the street opposite the one I was parking on.....then my friend was at the bar where we were going and his chili red/white S was parked just up from me.....
Three Minis parked on the same block....people in the bar were talking about it!

Cheers!

That's cool. I saw the second Mini in Santa Cruz on the highway, an all chili red S. The last Mini I saw was a black w/ white roof S outside of a hotel. Anyone here from SC?
