Around 2am this morning on La Cienega saw an IB/W MCS. I caught up to him and he bolted onto the 10E. I followed him (sort of) until the 10/60/etc interchange where he was gone.

That is funny, I saw a red one with the CA plate ITAL JB on the 10E about a week ago. We exchanged waves.

Last night, silver/black MCS on Kramer near La Palma. Had an exhaust and an (evil) Valentino Rossi #46 decal. CR MCS at Arco gas station at Kramer and Orangethorpe.

This morning, Gold/B Cooper on the 405N at Palo Verde. Very, very cute blonde driving, got a smile.

What a day!

Well last night was a record for me. Saw 4 MINIs on the 101 and 1 on Reseda. Then I saw one for sale up by CSUN, and I stopped to check it out. It was beautiful!

And then this morning I saw another 3 MINIs on my way in to work. It's going to be a good day!

Today I spotted a PS/B MCS from Oregon with CHARGD plates, on the 91E at the 91 & 55 interchange, at about 3:30pm, no wave.

Tonight around 9pm on the 10W in the Redding area, I was followed by, then I followed, a HB/W MC with MIN4WIN plates, and I think a broncos bumpersticker under the plate, no wave either.

The strange thing is, we were in Redlands today too. Didn't see any MINIs though. What are the odds, eh?

Yay for spottings!

You forgot about the smile and laugh from the Wagoneers trucker when I got all excited after seeing the Pure Silver R56 on his trailer..
