Around noon today at University Towne Center in San Diego...parked in the garage next to Sears. A suspiciously familiar 2005 EB/EB MCS with temporary dealer tags from Long Beach Mini. Would have been awesome if I got the space next to it, but I was 4 cars down.

Been seeing a lot more MINIs on the road these days. Is that because I now have one, or is SoCal exploding with them?

So, for the first time ever (besides a MINI meet), I saw 8 MINI's today in Redlands. Each one was a joy to see!

1. IB/W MCS --- My neighbor so, kinda doesn't count, but she was driving.
2. LY/B MCS, tinted windows, driving down Cypress
3. PS/B driving down Cajon
4. EB/W driving down State St.
5. JB/B, driving down 6th St.
6. JB/W driving down the 10 East (I was going West) through Redlands
7. EB/B getting on the 10 Fwy East around 8:00pm at Tennessee
8. PS/B driving down Cypress

No Cabrio's though .. Maybe I'll be the first one is Redlands?

Yesterday, in Irvine, in front of the Sports Chalet off of Michelson, I saw a CR/B MCS with silver 5Zigen MK-5's and an NAM sticker on the driver's side backseat window.

I'm game too! (But lets have it after I get my new wheels) I would love to be around the beach topless instead of hard.

Everytime I motor down the PCH between Ventura and Santa Monica on the weekends I always see dozens of MINIs out; especially through Malibu. I also see this same hyper blue/white JCW with a surfboard rack almost everytime.

cute cabrio

I was driving home on Ocean Blvd. In Long Beach today around 3ish and saw a cabrio don't know what color it was 'cause the guy was really cute, I waved and then had to explain at the stop light why I was waving, cause I wasn't in my mini, MY baby is in at Nick Alexander for it's first 10,000 service, I was in a lovely 525 BMW not as lovely as my MINI>
