I see more and more in the Hartford area...but then the dealership I use...only one of two in Ct, is in Hartford as well. Rarely do I get a look, never mind a wave from any mini...countryman or not. Maybe a handful in over a year. Not sure if that's a reflection of the friendliness of Ct drivers or mini owners.......

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a flash. I am so bummed. Heading north on the East Beltline less than one mile from my house, there it was. Royal Grey, white roof and mirrors. Didn't catch if it had the white bonnet stripes or black wheels. May have to ride around with my bike rack on full time just to differentiate myself.

Flyer, i get about 30% waves. Got more in the wife's Wrangler.

All black CMSA4 on I-78 eastbound in New Jersey at 6AM this morning with Rutgers vanity plates. I first spotted you in my rear view mirror coming up fast...thought it was a new Porsche Cayenne (I'm very serious, the headlights are somewhat the same shape). Only when you passed me did I realize it was 1/2 the size . I followed you for about 10 miles at 85-95 mph...I was the guy in the black SLK55 who kept trying to pull along side to get a better look Can't wait for ours to arrive, scheduled to be rolling out of the factory sometime today!

Got a wave from a MCS driver near East Granby, CT yesterday around noon. I am used to MC/MCS drivers not waiving (there are a ton in the Boston area)

that I didn't initiate the wave and to do a quick recover. hope he saw the wave!

I proceeded to see two other MCS on the same stretch of road and flashed and waved the other two

Saw an all White Countryman with dark tint and wheels heading north on the 5 this morning, right at the "Orange Crush" in Orange County. Looked like you were taking the 55. No stripes. No Chrome. Looked awesome.

On my way home from picking up my CM I saw a Oxford Green with black top and I believe black tunnel spokes on I-25 north of Longmont. So exciting. Looked awesome and so nice to see a "twin" on the road.

You're going to see quite a few of us OxGreens around the area. Make sure to check out the MINI5280 events.

Keep seeing more, and more here in my area (Sub-burbs of Denver). Saw a Pure Red CMS4 drive by while I was at the front of the line at a light. I threw up a wave, and got one in return from both driver and passenger!

I saw a Bright Yellow CM with black wheels, black roof, and a MINI of South Atlanta license plate frame in the parking lot of Bullock's Wine and Spirits in East Cobb County this afternoon around 4PM. When I walked out to my Surf Blue CM, there it was, parked right next to mine.

Saw an awesome Red CM with great boot/bonnet stripes and the lower door stripes parked near Porter and Inman squares outside of Cambridge,MA. Looks like it had aftermarket 19" wheels. My wife still wishes that we were able to get one in Red.
