OK, clearly, I'm not able to compete in this contest, but it's fun just to participate! As noted in the other Clubman Sightings thread, here's my first capture, today on I-4 in Orlando, complete with proof that we were in our Clubbie when I snapped it! Finally...

Thanks, sure did! Practically started screaming, then composed myself, asked hubby if he had the cell phone (camera) on him, calmly took it from him, waited for the best shot, and snapped! For once, everything came together at the right time!

Very well done - did you speed up and wave, too? Or did they exit too quickly.

It is a bit nuts, but I feel that excitement too.

Yep, we did a little "lane dancing" around one another over the course of a couple minutes, made eye contact as we got side by side, then all (both drivers and both passengers) laughed sheepishly and waved as we passed by! Obviously, great fun for everyone involved!

Welcome aboard, Gracie! You'll find the longer you're here, the more you enjoy it!

Yep, ya got me beat (my mom is 4'10" though)! Good to know there's someone out there actually smaller than me, but at least I feel I'm in good company. And BTW, we share more in common than just size; our names (hubby's name too), and of course, our (similar) Blue MINIs - what a small world!

Alright folks, this contest has been running since September and we're coming down the home stretch. For much of this contest, HTClubman looked like the one to beat...then Donna of Donna/Mike fame came on REAL strong in the 2nd half and has taken a commanding lead. Will Donna walk away with it? Will HTClubman mount a late inning come back? And who will take the "bronze?" This is crunch time.

There are only 2 1/2 weeks left. Keep those cameras ready!

LOL!! I've been HOLDING OFF posting ALL the pictures I've taken over the past couple of weeks - because I PROMISED I would not post any more until HT did....however..........she has been MIA for a couple of weeks...

I know what she's doing....she's sandbagging...yup...collecting all her pictures to post at once on Dec. 31st - because I said I wouldn't post mine - LOL!.... Just kidding HT....

So......I'm posting them this weekend

Donna
