>>Indi Blue/W with white bonnet stripes- westbound on 101 between Balboa and 405.
>>Couldn't tell if it was MC or MCS 'cause of the freeway median. (I was eastbound.)

Could've been Nardo. he drives an IB/W with bonnet stripes, and was headed home west on the 101 after a run we did.

Then it must've been you I saw because this happened around 9:30am.
I was on my way home after a solo run along Mulholland.
(would've done Little Sycamore/Yerba Buena but it was getting late for me)

Hey! That's me!!! I work in Torrance and live in Aliso Viejo. I don't usually drive my MINI to work, I'm usually on my Honda Silverwing mega-scoooter, but I just got my John Cooper Works kit installed and I'm breaking it in.

Yesterday (1/28/04) I saw a PS MCS on the 405 southbound in longbeach, lowered, body colored fender arches and a plate that read "s chargd". Anyone?

PS/B MC today, 2:30pm, headed toward ocean on Manchester in Encinitas! Seems like the number of MINIs in my area has really increased in the last month!

Hi Grendel, I used to live in Fallbrook, many moons ago! The ride in and out was alot more fun then. Still have friends and family there. Don't have my MINI yet :???: , will happen sometime in the next 6 months, depending on how long it takes to move my lovely mom-mobile. Please, you won't hold it against me, will you?
I live in Encinitas, the very north eastern end. Most of my sightings are on Rancho Santa Fe Road, with a few along the coast in Encinitas/Cardiff/Solana Beach.

Maybe she didn't wave coz she didn't want an engagement to follow?

But I know what you mean, some get it and others don't.

We won't hold it against you. If your interested there's a shakespeare quiz run at the end of Feb on Sun(either the 28 or 29) you can come meet the local motorers. Bring the mom mobile, and follow us or you can ride with someone. check the southern Cali link or PM me for more info.

MCS CR/W today about 11a.m. getting on and passing me (IB/W) on the I-10W from Yucaipa (I think Live Oak Canyon Rd). I was going slow because my sis following in a minivan wanted to keep up with me.
Waives all around. Nice smile CR/W!

Then a B/B Cooper on the 210E this afternoon about 4. Asian girl with mom, she didn;t waive or even acknowledge. Looked like a brand new licensed driver.
