It definitely wasn't stock. It was very deep and loud. I live in Walnut, and have a Jet Black/White (JB/W) MCS. Maybe I'll come by some day and look for the MCS at Honda

I think the cooper that you saw on the 57 is mine............ I take the 57 to work everyday and your discription totaly matches my car.

Any nam members around Diamond Bar area that wants to meet up and check out each others Mini's?

As Seen On TV

Pepper White on Channel 9 News

Sad story about a teenage girl killed in a Jeep accident. She went into the Los Cerritos Channel after taking the Studebaker offramp too fast on slick road.

When the reporter began his live broadcast, a Pepper White pulls up to place flowers at the site.

If you mean this car . . .


That would be my best friend, and fellow NAMmer, "vivahate." She, and her BRG, are on the cover of the 2005 NAM Calendar.

Coincidentally she sent me a text message about spotting a Royal Grey on the 405 and getting the wave! And now you post about it. This is cool! I'll have to let her know about it.

Hey Aviators, it was me you followed. I like that Royal Grey color. Haven't seen any on the road other than yours. Cheers,
Michele

Yay candiecat - don't give up on those waves! I know there are a few other MINI drivers in my area that finally have started waving back - it took some training! And over the last couple of days, I actually went by 3 diffferent MINIs that waved first!

Saw what seemed like loads of MINIs when I was in Laguna Beach on Saturday, anybody here?

Saw a multitude of MINIs yesterday (1/28). An SCMM gathering maybe?

I honked hello when you were all parked near Lake Henshaw and I made my way to East Grade Road. Then later I tried to wave to all of you as you came up Banner Grade and I went down (I was stuck behind a Jetta at the time).

Lots of modded MINIs with aero kits, etc. I never see any modded MINIs on the road during my commute, though. You must all hide out until the weekends.

You chose a beautiful day to come out and play! I stopped on my way back down East Grade to get this shot.

That was the West Coast MINIs - we all saw you... We all carry radios and it was relayed down the line that you were going down as we were going up..... You should join us some time.... It was a fantastic ride - and yes, a beautiful day. LOTS of great MINI peeps...

Spotted this afternoon - around 4:15 - on the 5 going south - Black MCSC - we pulled up along side - gave a big wave and got a thumbs up back. We got off in Del Mar and you continued south. You here?

Also spotted a few minutes later - a Hyper Blue MCSC coming out of the Plaza parking garage on the 101... Anybody here?

Spotted a couple black MCs on 805 north this morning. Followed "MINISAN" for a while, and we both passed by "3M INIM." No waves.

And parked on Madison near Cleveland was parked a new CR/W with a Union Jack roof and Crevier plates.

Yeah, the organized drive doesn't excite me. Not sure exactly why, but I just like heading up there when I feel like it and doing my thing. Worked out to about 230 miles on Saturday, hitting the usual highlights (Palomar, Banner) plus a trip out to Yaqui Pass Road (spectacular scenery up through the pass, I'd never gone out that far before) to Borrego Springs.

Traffic was light, and generally polite when it came to moving over. I had some fun following a USPS Ford Windstar down Palomar - he was moving pretty fast. I could have gotten through slower corners much quicker without him in front of me, but his pace wasn't objectionable at all! That's the postal route I would want.
