I think I spotted AC MINI tonight, not sure though as I haven't seen his car.
Was going from Mission to Garfield, and entered 10 West from Garfield entrance all the way through downtown towards 405 around 10pm. I was in the Lexus IS300 SportCross behind you. Wife was driving though.

2005 MCS PS/B with black bonnet stripes on boot (John Cooper Works Challenge decals on door) and appeared to be 18" wheels.

Hahaha, so you've been spotted. LOL. Fortunately my wife stuck with you pretty good. Watching you swerve around a slow car from the 10 W to 5 South to 10 W section--wife began mocking me and saying that's how I drive. Would have been in my MINI, but had been driving in 4 hours of traffic all afternoon, I was ready to sleep, so I let the wife drive her car.

Since this is my last weekend before the Dragon, unfortunately I won't be at Steve's. Got too much to do still--cameras to build, t-shirt to screen, DVD's to burn, Flyers to print, LOL. It's crunch time!

Will catch the next party.

Pink Cooper!

Spotted a pink(!) cooper going east bound near the 134/210 freeway interchange (me in my yellow cooper). Nice paint job! Time was around 2 pm April 27th.

A pink Cooper eh?
You didn't happen to have some spiked pink lemonade for lunch did you?

(Maybe it was that comedian with the "stripper pink" MINI.)

BRG/White MCS with roof rack at Carney's in Hollywood

I saw you in the parking lot last Friday (4/29), so I pulled along side you in my Indi Blue/White MC. The train wasn't very crowded but I couldn't tell who was the MINI owner.

After I we finished, and came outside, I saw you pulling away and you gave me the thumbs up. Haha, caught me off guard. Nice ride you got there!

Spotted an EB/W MCS at Spazio on Ventura last night around midnight. Great jazz there
