Another MINI has joined my neighborhood.
To date, I've counted NINE MINIs within a ONE block radius of my home.
How many within yours?
(ps-Living near a MINI dealer does not count)

Wow? Where do you live in Hawaii? A highrise?
I have no MINIs closer than a mile that I know of and only 6 camrys out of my 7 neighbors.
In MINIlani we have quite a few MINIs but we are all spread out over a few miles and some 30,000 homes.

Dang, Sullivan'sDaddy, where are you!?!?!?!?!

Within one block from me....zero.....zip! In a 1/2 mile area? One CR/W JCW MCS, a PW/PW MC, a SG/W MC, a CR/W MC, a JB/W MC, a IB/W MC w/ bonnet stripes (...has been confused with mine once. ) and at least one DS/B MCS...maybe two. Lots of these stay in garages or something bacause I know they live here but I never see them when I'm out and about.

When I registered mine last July, it was the first in my town. As far as I know, it's still the only one in my town.

I've seen 3 other MINIs in my condo complex, which is 4 large hi rises for 1600 people. They are: Silk Green (with white top I think), VR/W, and IB/W.

My 2003 MINI Cooper CVT (Jet Black) is the only one on the block, but there are 2 MINIs in the parking lot where I work! A coworker also bought a 2003 MINI Cooper CVT, that discontinued cranberry red colour w/white roof.

I have one other, and they are the reason I own a Mini. They said "hey do you want to go for a drive?" Then, "why don't you drive?". The next day I ordered my Mini.

I SEE a number of MINIs in my neighborhood, but cannot say if they are resident or just visiting. One reason is that Midtown Memphis isn't entirely residential, and maybe they garage their MINIs (like me).
The care I see in Midtown most often is a DS/B, CR/W, Y/B, PW/B, and most recently a new BRG/W like mine (except I now have stripes). Ironically, every time I have seen another MINI, I am NOT in mine but in my 'work car'- a Civic that has already been dinged to bits in parking lots.

I think I have the only MINI within a twenty five mile area of where I live. I keep looking for any MINI's or any other car for that matter with plates from Hawaii, but so far my MINI is the only car in Okla with Hawaii plates.

When I stop for fuel, lots of people ask about the MINI and the Hawaii plates. I just tell them I took a wrong turn in L.A. I'm trying to get back to Maui.
