Hi Lauren, I wave at you often! (sometimes its a flash of the lights or the traditional thumbs up, but most often a wave) I'm in the CR/W MC I live in Torrance and frequent the crossroads center (Starbucks) often.

:smile: Hi Grant! How cool! I think you were the first person I actually waved at! I was so thrilled about it when I came home. I've only had my car since Wednesday night. I haven't seen that many in our area yet, have you? Next time I see you, I'll wave for sure!

I used to live in Carson! Are there a lot of minis in Carson? Usually if I drive in Carson, I'm just on the way to my music students homes. Anyways, I'll be looking for you guys on the road!

I was at the Best Buy in Torrance tonight... and as I was leaving, my friend brought my attention to a DS/B MCS... sitting next to a silver Ferrari (even more reason to park and take a look)
Apparently they're from the same tuning company. The name is sketchy but I think it was "Precision Tuning" or something similar

see ya

It's about the 4th or 5th time. Yesterday morning, on my way to work I saw BRG/W MC southbound (same as i) on 605, just south of 91 Freeway. It's the same female driver (with the same sunglasses) each time.

I can't quite figure out why no one waves or winks their lights back!

It's not you! It's the *other* orange county MINI owners. Remember, before they can wave, they are going to have to put the cell phone down

Saw 3 this past week, one drove right me, as I was pulling out of the driveway (front first)...it was a yellow Cooper S, with LB Mini plates. I waved and everything, but she didn't look directly at me; she just smiled. I must've looked like an idiot! Anyhow, I also a LY Cooper at Wilson Park this morning. :smile: I was walking with my mom, and we were talking about the LB Rally, and she got so excited all of a sudden and said, "Hey there's one just like yours!!!" She got all excited! The last one was a CR/w that I saw as I as at the Happy Hour bar at Claim Jumpers... we were looking outside, and I finally saw one... maybe it was MOG4D?

Hey, I was on Milliken earlier today. I did pass through Ontario on my way to check up on my mom. She's in San Berdoo so turns out they're not near the fires. Sure was eerie-looking driving around with all that ash flying everywhere.

Oh, I drive an Indi Blue/B MC. Can't miss the big "Raider Nation" decal on the rear window.

LC, I got it at the Raider Image in the Lakewood Mall. For Raiders' fans, this store has all kinds of stuff you can put on your car.

But what you are looking for could probably be found over at CoolBalls.com .
