Nice, new, off the lot PW/B S in the parking lot of the new Jamba Juice / Starbucks center in Redlands. I love PW/B, almost ordered that instead of my LY/B.

Parked next to you and took a pic, will post when I can find the cable for my digital camera.

It could have been me, but I wasn't anywhere near there. Not today, anyway.

There's now a really sweet looking CR/B MCS with anthracite rims ripping around El Cajon--saw you today at 4:45 or so, turning from Magnolia to Chase. Sweeeeet ride.

Ohh, and most every day in the parking lot at work I see a JB/W Cooper with a single white bonnett stripe.

Ohh wait, that's Rovi from LCI that never posts but always reads these boards.

Hey man, that might have been me, I'm not sure. I've got the same setup, and I was out on a date that evening - I usually use the cornering-g date test to see how much adventure a girl is up for!

That's kool TMGRobyn!


Noda mention that I was weaving in & out with ... (guess what) ... an Excursion on 91 this afternoon. He was "chasing" me 4 a long stretch. It's like hide & seek and a little like Tom & Jerry. I finally kool off & join the crowd b4 reaching the spot where "big brothers" used to pick-a-poo all the time.

Rather be dancing with another Mini

Yo, "brand new" MC LY/B on the I-10 W, whoever you are. It was quite a nice drive last night. I really enjoy waltzing with you on that long stretch of road. You first acknowledged me with a beam from behind, then after that we were weaving in & out ... away from the crowd. Sometimes you lead, sometimes I did, sometimes "others" tried to cut in, but they didn't always get a chance. Though, I still wanna hang on to the rythm but Coopie had to go home so we did say g'd bye to you by 3 beam flash.

Thank you 4 the dance!

I think I saw El Rojo Diablo??? On the 10 east near the 60 interchange. Was surprised to see him so far north since I thought he's in the OC area.

re: Someone I knew
Yeah it's always cool to find NAM members on the road!! It's very rare for me! Most of the MINI's I encounter in LA are not friendly at all. But when I saw your exhaust from a 1/4 mile away, I knew this was serious, and then I saw your plate. LOL.

I had my wife and 11 month old son in back. She isn't into the waving/acknowledgement thing. LOL

On the way home last Tues afternoon, I spot an MC LY/W on 91W so I proceeded up front to greet him with a "V" sign. He waved at me & I followed him. That made 2's Company. A few miles more, I saw an MCS PW/B in the crowd and that's when my carpool partners (in my Mini) got excited ... "There's another one over there," he said. I zoomed up along his (MCS PW/B) wing and waved at him like crazy. He gave me a smile & waved back . I then got into the #2 lane (in the middle) and from there on we made 3's a Crowd. I noticed that people were looking at us ... "interesting" , I thought! After a while, I waved good bye to them as I splitted up the line 'cuz Coopie gotta go into the HOV lane, there I used my cellphone to take a few pix of the other two. The pix are not perfect but I think it's nice enough for me to "capture a moment." Ya know!

Going down the 15 freeway South, around 8:15pm near the 91 interchange I saw an LY/W MC with custom white stripes. I was in my 545i and jumped up and down in excitement (as I'm waiting for my LY to arrive next month).

Maybe you're too stealthy for us.
What freeway do you usually take?

If I ever get on a freeway it's usually the 405.... but because I work less than 2 miles from home, I only take freeways on weekends.

I spotted camelpilot!

Hey man, I spotted you too! You just reported it quicker than I did. I merged onto the 405, saw your BRG MCS with the nice two-tone interior, and gave you a quick wave before switching gears. The next thing I know, you raced by me and gave me a wave. It made my day seeing someone else having fun in their Mini...everyone else looked pretty miserable on the 405.

Sorry I didn't post first...but now YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED!

COOOOOOOOOL MAN THATS AWESOME!!! WOOOHOOOO we made the thread!!!!!!

Good to see fellow NAMers out.

Yeah, I was on the phone too for most of it, so couldnt really do as many flybys as I would usually do. I was actually on my way to Steves to get the JCW exhaust put on.

Thanks again for the sighting report.

BRG/B MCS in San Diego

When: This morning, 8:45 AM
Where: Sorrento Valley area, San Diego at Mira Mesa Blvd and Sorrento Valley Blvd.
You: BRG/B MCS, heading west on Mira Mesa
Me: EB/EB MCS, waiting to make a right onto Mira Mesa

We saw each other across a crowded intersection and waved, then proceeded on in our work-a-day lives...

Nice way to start a Monday - thanks!

PS: Someone in my office parking lot has a brand-spanking new CB/B MCc with Long Beach MINI plates. Is it anyone here? I work on Sorrento Valley Road...

Cutie in the green

On my way to work this morning, East bound on Olympic Blvd near Westwood Blvd, I pulled up alongside another BRG/W MCS no license plates front and rear and I think it was an 04, a cutie business lady driving it. I just want to tell her 2 things:

1) You're hot.
2) Nice wheels.

Couple personalized plates

Last night on 5 and 805 South, followed a CR/W MC with rare black bumper inserts and the plate MINI 4 B.

This morning on 163 North, an all CR MCS with MELLN 3 or something like that.
