My kid is going out to CSUN in a couple of weeks for a baseball camp for the weekend, I am going to drive extra while I am out there in hopes to get a flash by Goldilocks.

Okay, so I took the initiative last night & this morning to be the waver, and nothing!! Maybe last night it was to dark, but this morning I waved at three MINI's and one would not turn his head, I was right next to him, another pulling out of a driveway looked at me like I was retarded, and to be fair to the third, I was screaming past him going the other way up Topanga Cyn. I have a long drive daily from San Pedro to Calabasas back and forth, out at 6AM coming home after 5PM, I use PCH quite a bit, as well as the 101 & 405 so if you see my CoB Cabrio, TPLS BLR, please give me a wave.

I never had the pleasure of getting a wave, honk or flash while I was at CSUN!


I work at CBS in Studio City and see tons of mini's in the structure. I wonder if any of the people who also work there are on this site. Amber Stevens who is one of the stars on Greek actually drives a pepper white mini.

Went up to my brother's graduation ceremony at Pepperdine and brought the iPod nano/video along. I saw a few but this is the only one I actively remember seeing and trying to follow (this was coming back down along PCH around 2:00). Unfortunately traffic was slow and he/she was quickly getting through it (and the nano's lens is pretty wide angle), this is probably the closest image I got:



Found another one from the morning around 9:00 going north:

Anyone know a blonde that drives a Checkmate R53 in the Brea area? Very attractive.

on the 805

This morning, while getting stuck in the daily traffic jam on the NB 805, I think it was around Clairemont: a PW/B MINI driven by a female pulls up next to me, me in lane 1 and her in lane 2. I look over, she looks over, and we both waved at the same time!

on the 8 west the exit before college ave, yesterday around 5:45/6:00pm there were TWO others Minis driving next to me! Both clubbies, one was I think red with silver and it was too dark to tell on the other one. The second one that i don't remember the color had it's windows tinted and I have mine tinted, so I have no idea if they waved or not, but the first was a no wave!

2nd & 3rd waves

On Wilshire Blvd, yesterday, early evening, mass traffic, 1st one, a kid in his brand new mini S, an enthusiastic wave & thumbs up. 2nd one a few minutes later, a woman in her clubbie, only after she was stuck next to me for a while finally gave a reluctant wave.

I went down to Torrance and back yesterday, and I saw a LOT of MINIs. Three stood out in my mind:

1. In the American Honda parking lot, there was a white R53 MCS with a license place that said LILYPTN. I thought that was awesome.

2. In Torrance on Crenshaw Blvd by the 405 fwy, I saw a brand new CR MCS going the other direction. I even got the wave from the driver!

3. Driving home at around 7 or 7:30 on the 101 N through the valley, I was driving next to a PW R56 MCS for a while. I was trying to wave to the driver and frolic through traffic (similarly to how dolphins frolic through the waves), but I think she may have thought I was some nut... Oh well.

Overall, it was a good day for the MINIs in SoCal.
