Coincidence?... I think not!

I was heading to the gym at UCSF (University of California, San Francisco) and look what I saw.



unfortunately, I wasn't able to squeeze my car in there because they were surrounded

The red with white top is a Cooper S. If you look hard enough you can see the center exhaust and the curve of the spoiler on the roof.

This is why I love my Mini, I used to have to fit my big SUV into those spots. But this is also why it hurts me inside to park my Mini. As small as it is there is still a good chance someone will dent my still flawless doors. Perhaps one day I won't care....yeah right

Can't see what the non-Mini to the far far right is, but my guess is the Mini owner decided that they would rather park closer to the Mini on their left than the "other" car on their right

Agreed, for some reason people think that just because we dont need our whole space that we dont want it.

Why are the others not parking bonnet out? That is the correct way to park with other MINIs.

California has a lot of Minis. I was in San Diego last weekend and saw a bunch. Took the wife's Mazda 3.

When you park next to another MINI, you give them an opportunity to bond

Sweet! I pulled into a rather busy/full lot this weekend. Spotted another mini making a loop around the lot and was able to get in behind him. He was waiting for another car to back out then parked. I pulled up and wouldn't you know it the spot right next to him was open! I do try to park next to other mini's when I spot 'em

San Francisco is littered with MINIs! I swear 1 out of 5 cars on the road is a Mini Cooper! So it probably was a coincidence!
