I see a yellow MC and Lexter in 'L FRESCA" most mornings, the girl in the Yellow MC never, ever waves unless you count a single digit version :( Lexter and I just need a White MC to recreate some kind of Italian Job traffic carving scene some mornings...

Oh - all this happens travelling North on the i5 between OSO and the 55fwy....

Last night I saw an CR/W MCS, again the driver ignored my wave :(

*reminds self to change deodorant brands.......

this call is to all UC IRVINE Mini's! I've seen a CR/W with holeys (practically a twin of my own car!) and a silver cooper out there on campus. Also another CR/W with white wheels that i waved to. Another Biege cooper i saw and waved.

EB MCS on Del Mar Blvd in Pasadena. This marks the first time a girl has ever initiated a wave. HA. Usually, only boys wave to me. Not that I'm complaining.

RUSTCAM in 'Dino? Anyone?

Many MINI's are starting to show up on my campus lately. However, there is a Black & White Cooper ('05?) that parks 15 feet away from me now. Plate reads "RUSTCAM" (I think)... Since I'm always late for class I haven't had a chance to leave a note (or take a picture! *wink*)...

Man a couple of weeks ago I was behind 2 other MINIs in a straight line, I felt like I was in the Italian Job or something, but we all ending up going our seperate ways, I bet a bunch of people thought we were up to no good, and somewhere a bank was being robbed

I had a PW/PW MC traveling on my bumper for about a mile on Portola Pkwy in Lake Forest, CA a week ago. Before I could wave on my rear view, I had to break away.

Saw a cute MINI tonight parked near Hollywood Blvd with plate "Woodby". I think I've also seen this same MINI on the freeway driving home from work.

Spotted a BRG/W Cooper (5:45pm) exiting at Rosecrans Ave and the 405 South Bound.
Before exiting, pulled beside me and acknowledged with a nod

Auto crossing the 406 daily I see upwards to a dozen MINI’s and perhaps 1 in 20 ever wave back...

That wasn't me, but I did happen to see two other BRG/W Coopers (other than myself) on the 405s around that area at around 545pm yesterday. I was heading down to Carson for a bday party.

Hey, gotta wave........

...from probably one of the best looking colours for a MINI , a LY/W MCS heading N on the 215 at the s**thole of an interchange (91/60/215). Pulled right in front of me, flashed the lights, got a big ol' wave (license plate was customized....MDLFMINI I think). MINIs in the IE rock!! On the same note, last week I saw a LW/B MC on the EB91 through Riverside sportin' a SCMM decal. Gave a big thumbs up and peace sign, didn't get anything back....maybe it was because I was on my Buell (BB was in the shop getting the s/c replaced). Motor on!!

Okay, two sightings today.
First one was an IB/IB MC on the 210 in Arcadia. I waved and the wave was returned.
Second one was at the Santa Anita mall. CR/W MCS. He even waved before I could get a chance to! What a nice day!

Tonight (9ish) spotted LY Cooper S in Monterey Park on North Garfield at the 10; received very enthusiastic smiles and waves from the all on board.

Later (10p) came along side an EB Cooper S exiting the 405 at Inglewood, I waved; don’t know if they saw me.

I was in Monterey Park around the same time. I would have waved.
