On Tuesday, I saw another MCS Checkmate on the NB 55. The driver was also cute.

Sighting on the 105

I spotted this little number this week on the 105 westbound toward El Segundo. I didn't get a real good look at the driver, but I'm pretty sure she was a cute blonde. She waved very enthusiastically, and I waved back! Made my morning.

I wonder if anyone in the OC/LA area has seen me recently. I live up north, but drove my SB/SB MCS from NorCal down here in November and December. In December, I actually drove down here for an interview with Irvine Mini Cooper, who are hiring a salesperson (still; I didn't accept the offer).

Since getting my MINI, I've spotted a few...

Yesterday, 2/18, AM Commute: MCS, Yellow, I think convertible, with white bonnet stripes. You got on the 91 west before the 710 and then took the 110 to the 105 West. I think you went to the 405 and I lost track of you. Youngish guy with sunglasses, cute like most MINI owners.

While MINIs are no longer uncommon in my town, on my way to the gym tonight I saw a dark silver/white Cooper S, blacked out grill, coilovers and chrome wheels. Don't see many "tricked out" MINIs in these here parts. tu:

Didn't get much better look at the car but gave the white guy inside a "what's up".

Anyone we know?

I'm here.... just haven't had any luck lately with my mini spottings... Actually I saw a SS clubbie getting on the 125 south from Fletcher Pkwy in La Mesa yesterday and I whizzed by and gave them a peace sign, but couldn't tell if they saw/acknowledged or not...

On my commute there's so many MINI's, it's simply not an uncommon sighting at all. I do regularly come across a R56 PW/B S with a rear tow hook driven by an Asian girl and a R56 DS/W driven by an Asian guy who both have the same commute as me pretty much (110 to 10). Sadly I get no acknowledgment, so I don't bother anymore.
