SoCal MINI Spottings - Point Check Here!
Another TV news siting: Hollywood police officer being interviewed by Channel 7 today. A MINI - IB/Union Jack cruising down Hollywood blvd next to his cruiser for about two blocks finally passing the police car and moving out of the shot. Nice MINI!
Your screen test was great!
SDSU Area Sightings
I had a MINIful morning: saw 1 parked (black or BRG) on Jackson between Navajo and Lake Murray Blvd, saw 2 on Alvarado Road near DZ Akins (blue with blonde curley-haired lady driving, black or BRG with man driving). Neither waved.
I really need my license plates ASAP! I also see a CR/W Cooper that parks behind 6475 Alvarado Road all the time. A lady drives it, but I haven't been in my MINI when I've seen her yet, so I don't know if she is a waver.

ah yes...the MINIs are growing in number....saw a beautiful Copper MCCS w/black bonnet stripes heading up Van Buren Blvd in Woodcrest area of Riverside, the wife gave the thumbs up and got a wave back....although we were in her "Eddie" (Black n gold Expedition)!! Had too many kids to take BB out for a drive (yeah I know, lose the kids and take the Cooper!!)
Along the Grapevine
DS/W MCS w. Colorado plates southbound on I-5 around Pryamid Lake. I flashed my PIAAs and driver returned acknowledgement with flash of brake lights.
Anyone here?

2 wavers this weekend!
Black cabrio on Washington and Goldfinch in Mission Hills (San Diego) on Saturday, and a DS/B (can you believe it?!) at the bottom of Washington by the train tracks yesterday. My DS/B theory still stands, though, because the DS/B driver was a female - it's only the DS/B males who are too cool to wave.
The only non-waver of the weekend was an all-PW MCS on Goldfinch on Saturday afternoon. I gave a thumbs-up, and he just stared at me. Whatever.

I saw a PW/PW when I was accidentally going the wrong way (oops) in a one-way parking garage at SDSU near Gateway. The driver (girl with long dark hair) did not wave or look amused as I sheepishly grinned at her.
*The lanes in the garage are PLENTY wide, so don't give me too much flack for going the wrong way.

Just saw DS MCS in Irvine at about 8:30pm tonight. (Alton & Sand Canyon) Back window had a sticker that read "Edge Shadow" or something like that.
I was the Asian girl looking at you funny in a non-mini. I think we have met at the Costco getting gas a couple of months ago!!!

This afternoon a brand new silver S with dealer plates from Irvine joined what was left of the West Coast MINIs convoy headed south on the 15 near Escondido. The driver was male, and (much to our delight) was a waver and gave thumbs up.
I played hide-and-seek with a BRG/white MCS from Kansas on I-5 south around Hwy 52 and Pacific Beach about 4 p.m. today.
She never acknowledged me, so I'm not sure if she knew we were playing, but she won when she ducked out of the fastlane just before I came to a standstill. Never saw her again.
She had the full aero kit, plus bonnet stripes and a checker roof - even a BRG sweater to match - so I figured she must be a MINIac! She was cute, too, but never looked over to see my "Hey, Sexy" sign.
