I'm seein' 'em more frequently on the streets of Toronto. A couple of months ago the little babies were pretty rare, but now I'll see one or two every other day.
However, we have 4 dealers in the area, which means we have much more than our fair share. There's always vehicles on the lots. The "S"s are never available except by order and wait two months. The MCs seem to be plentiful.

As far as the "non-wavers" go... I think it's a matter of timing. I've seen other wavers too late. When I waved, they diddn't see me. I'm sure it must have happend vise versa.
In my area I see the same 2 MINIs maybe once every 2 weeks. I know there are more out there someware.

I see one every now and then, but they aren't the friendliest bunch here in LA. Depends on where you see them actually. If everyone was as happy as I am when i'm driving...it would be GREAT on the road!!

Interesting thread.....I've NEVER seen one on the road in my city. Some of my high school students tell me they have seen an Electric Blue and perhaps a BRG, I have not. I LIKE it that way!

>>>>>>Why has it been seven months since you ordered your MINI? I ordered my MINI from MINI of Nashville, and I got it in 6 weeks with no delays or problems.

>>>>Dunno Al. Maybe my dealer sucks? Maybe they have a smaller allocation than where you got yours? Sounds liek I shoulda driven to Nashville instead of Cincinatti...

>>I thought you said it has been 7 months since you put down the deposit, not the order. So, then 7 months would make more sense. It should take 2 months from the time you order it. :smile:
Yes, seven months since deposit. Car "on order" since maybe 2 weeks ago. Production date of 01/24/03. Waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting...)

And its been another day here in Louisville (and everywhere else I suppose) and no sighting yesterday. Now several months ago, after having put a deposit down I saw three in one day here. All of them were S's, on EBlue, one Chili Red, and one PSilver. Almost went and yanked my deposit back.
