Hey,
I was just thinking of how cool it is that there still isn't that many minis around where I live. I haven't seen another mini in over two weeks. How often do you other mini drivers see mini's?

I have had my MCS for over 2 months and have seen 3 other MINIs. Not many around here in Columbus OH.

And I agree - it's nice to drive a car that not many others have. The thing is, it's not really unattainable. I mean, it's not expensive, it's not hard to get (the local dealer has MCs in stock and teh MCS was not that big of a wait for me).... It may just seem too impractical for some.

The weird thing about THAT is that it was the practicality that sold me (gas mileage, comfort, space (compared to my 1999 Toyota Pickup), and value. This was quite simply the best choice available to me. Of course I fell in love with the car long before that.......

Hard to believe there aren't more on the road.

 

Wow! I see two or three a day!!! I'm in NJ.

 

Tons of 'em out here in LA. I see a couple every time I'm on the road and there's a sweet S in my parking garage. It's Indi Blue with the Storm brakes - I know they're pointless but they're pretty

 

i'm on vacation in hawaii right now, and I've seen 4 MCS and MCs in Kailua. I guess there's only 40 on the island. They were talking about it coz the car show was in town and they were expecting a spike in sales.

 

i've seen 5 in chicago today alone!
2 in the parking garage, not including mine!

 

Hey sam how you enjoying your vacation here in our little state. Are you talking about the car show in the convention center? how was it? Where did you get the number 40 as far as Minis in Hawaii....seems too little...oh well good for me add me to the few and motorn...

 

Don't worry. There'll be more around. I have a friend who I gave a ride to a while ago. He had never seen one on the road. Then, after the joy ride, he saw five MINI's in three days!!

 

Even though the wait is over a year for an S here in Portland there seem to be quite a few - I see at least one every day if not more.

 

I live in a smaller city than Portland in Central Oregon (Eugene), I've had my car since mid Feb. and though I'm aware of a couple other MINI's in town, I've see only one while I've been behind the wheel- an MCS the same color as my MC (PS/B).

 

Living in the Ft Walton Beach area of Florida, I have been told by others that there are 2 or 3 other MINI's in the area, but I have yet to see one.

 

Tons of them here in our area. I see at least 3-4 a day - on the weekends I've seen as many as 10 - pretty cool


Chow!

>>Which is funny since we're just on the other side of Dulles Airport from guys and we don't see nearly as many on our side of the airport. We know they are there.... maybe there hiding... I know its a vast right/left (choose your favorite side) wide conspiracy against me!!! :smile: :smile:

Unfortunately, there is always SO MUCH TRAFFIC that I rarely get the other's attention unless traffic happens to stop at the right time

 

There are only a handful in Louisville - I see one every 4 or 5 days, which includes mine, since I won't get it for another week or so. I even work with a woman who wants a small, 2-door hatch-back but is thinking of getting a Golf. Maybe after I get my MINI and she sees it she'll change her mind.

 

I live in New Orleans. The closest dealer is in Baton Rouge. Over the past few months, I've seen 2 on a regular basis. A chili red in the warehouse district and a british racing green in the french quarter. Had a couple of random sightings. No CS's. Mine's on the way!

 

Daytona Beach, and I'm only now starting to see a few other MINIs around. Still its really rare!

In the last two months, I am starting to see a lot more MINIs in Charlotte. There are two at my church. I average seeing about one a day now. Before the last couple of months, it was about one a week.

With the production numbers they are running, soon they will be quite common for those in metro areas. I guess this is good and bad. More smiles and thumbs up in a day, but we lose the rarity effect.

Regards,

 

Just saw a PW one drive down the street while looking out the window. I take back what I just said. I am averaging closer to two a day now,

Regards,
