My parents live in Del Mar and have seen that same Cabrio numerous times. We've not yet managed to see him yet...

Chow!

Last night, on the northbound I-5 heading to the 2... saw Ivan from team mighty miniz.... indi blue/white MCS.....

 

DS/B northbound on I-5 just north of 91 interchange this afternoon, around 4PM. Driver was wearing shades and a baseball cap.

(I was southbound.)

 

There's a Chili Red and another Silver Mini (with Bob Smith paper plates) I see parked at my office building in Calabasas on Park Sorrento...also, I saw a Carbon Grey parked along side Agoura Road, and when I got home, I saw a PW/Black top parked at the Valencia Town Center.

4 parked Mini's in one day...and it was such a beautiful day to be out motoring.

 

I saw a very unique MINI in downtown Garden Grove Wednesday night. It was BRG with Welsh flags on the mirrors and the roof was painted tartan (plaid). It was nice to see such a well done non-race-theme custom for a change. The paint - not sticker - on the roof was amazing and must have cost a fortune.

 

Sounds awesome!

I honked to an IB/W with Union Jack roof stuck in a pack of cars coming from Julian on Hwy 79 this afternoon. Sorry to see a fellow Mini trapped like that. Sadly I was trapped not too much longer - a blast on Wynola Road made up for it though! Then ended up following a Team Voodoo Miata over Old Julian Road to Ramona. We both got blown away by a crotch rocket, of course, but still lots of fun.

 

Were you in a Pepper White?

That was probably me (2004 MCS IB/W, Union Jack). I waved back, but don't know if I got that off in time. I was returning from a run with a bunch of "proper" (classic) Minis in the SD Minis club. We had had a fast run up Palomar (no slow traffic! On a weekend! And the only crotch rocket who passed wasn't entirely insane).

I was headed south through Cuyamaca Park to I-8 and home in Pacific Beach. I pulled over at the campgrounds next to Stonewall Peak and let the traffic clear ahead for a while, so had a good fast run through the twisties and curves for several miles without trouble - didn't even catch up to any traffic until nearly the end of the park itself. Was very nice.

Yep, that was me! Just out for a little afternoon jaunt - you were the only MINI (no Minis either) I saw, so I guess the rest must have headed north. Traffic was pretty light, but it only takes one PT Cruiser or RX300 to slow everybody down!

 

Saturday - spotted an Orange Cabrio w/white stripes going South on the 5 around San Juan Capistrano area - about 1:45ish...

This morning - Oceanside Train Station - IB/W MCS...

Anybody in here????

Chow!

Spotted: MINIclo during lunch today at 22nd St Landing, San Pedro.

 

5 south in Irvine ... Blue/Black MINI. I was the Red/White MINI with a Santa hat ... thanks for the wave

 

I went 2-for-3 in the wave back department yesterday. Wave from a BRG cabrio on Lomas Santa Fe around 12:45. No wave from a BRG MCS on 101 shortly thereafter. Yes wave from a PS MC on Friars Rd around 7pm.

.667 isn't a bad average these days!

 

This afternoon around 4pm . . .
PS/PS MCS northbound on 605, between 105 and Santa Ana Frwy. Assael frames with Las Vegas, NV plates.

I would've waved but was in wife's Mazda MX3, rather than my MINI. (don't ask)

 

This evening in El Cajon, circa 6:00 pm

PS/B MC heading south on Main, at Magnolia. I was in Ollie & didn't get a wave off in time.

This afternoon in El Cajon, circa lunch time, near the Jack in the Box. LY/B MC Convertible, parked by the side of the road, all by it's lonesome.

 

OK, I won't.

 

Hi Jim! How's Ollie 2 doing? I had to miss the Toy Run, but I did make the SD Minis Ranchita Run on Saturday. Great fun!

Andrew Russell

 

Ollie's fine. Back up & running. :D I had to do the reverse. I missed the Ranchita run, but made the toy run. Seems Ollie needed to have a sway bar put in.

 

Saw an IB with plates BIG BMW parked on Madison and Park Blvd in University Heights (San Diego) last night.

 

Today, afternoon rush hour . . .
Black/W MC, northbound on 605 between 91 and 105.
Elderly woman driver ignored my honking and wave attempt.

 

210 E in Arcadia on Christmas Eve, around 11AM- honked and waved at a CB MCC with Assael paper plates. Got an enthusiastic, top-down wave back!

 

12/26 101 So between San Jose and Oxnard

Circa 2:30pm:

EB/EB S, stopped at the rest area near Bradley.

All silk green, headed north, in the same general area

BL/W S, Northbound, same general area

CR/B, also northbound... same area

4 MINIs in 10 minutes on an isolated stretch of 101. Made my day.

Doesn't count the DS/B S in the Thousand Oaks area, nor the LY/W or the PW/B we saw.... :D

 

LY MCS, with R-90's & Washington plates on La Mesa Blvd, in La Mesa... 2nd time in a week. Here for the holidays, or have you moved to our warmer climes?

 

First Purple Haze/W I've seen on the road! On the 215 North right near highway 74 exit. Sweet ride!

 

Saw 2 MINI's today, and the enthusiasm was in the air!! Pepper White MCS on 10 East near Cal State LA, got a very nice wave!! Then later, I encountered a brand new Black MC with Crevier plates headed 10 West near the Normandy exit! Also a very enthusiastic wave! Thank you! You both made my day!!! Happy New Year!

 

Hubby encountered an Indi Blue Cooper (Mickey Mouse antenna ball on it) getting on the 5 going north at the Del Mar exit. They did the wave thing... They traveled together all the way to Oceanside getting off at the 76 East...:smile:

I saw a DS/B (I think) leaving the Convention Center parking lot this afternoon...:smile:

Yesterday afternoon spotted a BRG/B going East on Vista Way....Brecht license plate frame I believe...

Chow!
