SoCal MINI Spottings - Point Check Here!
Sept 18th - El Cajon/San Diego
I saw an IB/B MC parked near the Quizno's/Starbucks in El Cajon around 11:15. I waited around for a few minutes to meet you, but had to head for the Thunderboat races with a much needed lunch. I was the PS/PS MC parked next to you.
On the way back from the races saw a DS/B MCS eastbound I-8 from the 805. I flashed when you changed lanes and honked around the Fletcher Parkway exit.
There are more and more of us around!!:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Howdy! New to MINI and here, just chiming in with a wave. I commute along Wilshire in my '05 HBS. Quite often I see a black/WR Cooper headed the same way, all the way through Beverly Hills and into Westwood (maybe you're a UCLA student?).
I'm 5 for 5 so far on MINI drivers who've passed me going the other way and took the time to wave and mouth 'Hi!' Talk about a sense of family...

San Diego County Sightings
Saw a MCS40 edition (I think!) on Wed. a.m. on the sb 5 fwy, just before the 5/805 split, thanks for the wave! I wonder if you're the same person I saw at the Leucadia/El Camino Real intersection a few days ago?
And last night we saw a PW/B MCS parked in front of El Callejon in Encinitas. PIGMINI on plates! Were you there to listen to Tres Sappos too?

Also to the 2 guys in the BRG MCS today (white side stripe)--driving East on the 10 near the 110 interchange with the Nick Alexander badge (no plate)--what's up with your bumper??? No plates yet, but your bumper looked pretty beat up?

Spotted by user 10851CS, who wasn't in his MINI at the time:
IB/W MCS, still with the Brecht paper plates on it. East-bound on HWY 52, travelling at or near the speed of sound.
10/01/04 circa 7pm.
An East County bound IB/W MCS on the 52, travelling at a high rate of speed, and it wasn't me... Who'd of thunk it?

Then I saw the paper plate from Brecht and tried to catch up with whoever it was when he/she took off
and my wife said, "Do you have to catch up?" (you know what that means
)Wanted to see if they lived in East County and wanted to join us on some of the back roads

I was wondering if there were any mini owners in the Lomita/Torrance area on this forum? I have been seeing more and more... usually on Hawthorne Blvd. near Del Amo Mall. I know I'll see more in the future, since a new Mini dealership is being built on the corner of 190th and Hawthorne. :smile:
Going N on the 5 this morning about 6:45 around the Mission Bay Hilton area a LY/W, also saw parked in the SD Convention Center today - a PW/B. And a CR/R going East on the 76 in Oceanside about 6:00pm.....anybody?

Finally saw a "real" one!
I saw a classic Mini yesterday evening, around 6:15, heading south on 805 out of Sorrento Valley. Right-hand drive, black with white roof. First time I've seen a Mini while driving my MINI!
This evening in Garden Grove I saw a lady driving a very nice blue Cooper with boot stripes and a personal plate that says, "MINI RCR" The license plate frame says, "Batteries Not Included" which I thought was pretty clever. I was on my way to school to take my mid-terms so it cheered me up.
Newport/Hunting Beach Area
Saw a Black MCS heading north on PCH around 745pm between Newland and Beach Blvd heading up towards Huntington Beach/Main Street. I waved from my PS/S MCS but was on my way to work, otherwise I would've given chase.
I also see a Blue MCS w/ white stripes in the Villa Balboa/Versailles condo complex off of Newport and Superior on a fairly regular basis. There is another PW/B MCS in my building there. A BRG MC parks at the Hoag Cancer center on a near daily basis.
