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...

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?

Hey this is to the cute asian girls I talked to in the PW MC with aero kit driving on Main Street in Alhambra tonight! Nice ride!!!

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?

Thought it was you at first 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 .

The silk green was still there at 4:30 when we picked up a bike across the street at Nytro. Shhh, don't let our dogs know you were at dog beach.

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:

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.

Saw a cr/b S turning into the Edwards Cinema/Hooley's parking lot a bit before 5 pm. Would have "honked", but was too far away.

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.
