I saw a cute girl in a PW/PW on the 5 south yesterday we both got off @ El Toro and exchanged waves. So if you are here love from the guy in the DS MCS
Ha I saw both your MINIS pulling out of the light on the off ramp. I was going the opposite direction getting onto the freeway at the El Toro on ramp.

I parked right next to a PW/B with "checkmate" graphics at Mission Viejo Mall a few nights ago...really nice.

I was following a PW/B Cooper that was doing some graceful lane changes, north bound from San Onofre to the 5/405 split. That helped me stay awake. I waved but she probably didn't see considering it was dark.

I see a few of you guys in SD and I wave whenever I can. Hiyo! Keep an eye out for a R56 LaB/B mini with the JCW kit.

Peace

Is there ever a time when there is not traffic on the 91E in that section?

And welcome Sushi Monster and maximusgeek!

Do you drive out there often? My gf lives in Chino Hills and I swear I've seen a checkmate on the 91E with me before.. maybe it was you. Do you have a custom license plate containing something about checkmate?

hah, and yeah, I think in the 20 some odd times Ive driven through there so far, I've made it through without traffic like 5 times. hah.

I keep seeing a red tintop with white bonnet stripes heading south on PCH in south Laguna Beach around quarter to 7 most every night - never a wave back though. Many other friendly waving minis in Laguna. Even got a wave from a Hummer in traffic....

I live in that area, so I drive on that segment as little as possible. Lakeview is my standard offramp. You can speed things up a little bit up to Wier Canyon by taking Santa Ana Canyon (S of the 91) or La Palma (N of the 91).

I don't have a custom license plate frame so it was somebody else.

I live in that area too. Lakeview from the 91 or Nohl Ranch Rd off the 55 are my exits of choice, and I head east down Santa Ana Canyon every night. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Finally got spotted by a fellow NAMmer!
Yup, it happened this afternoon on the northbound 405 between the 22 merge and 605 split.

Yellow MINI was in fast lane while I was in the lanes transitioning to 605 when I hear a honk. I turn, he waves, rolls down window, 'lo and behold it was Revolution MINI Works.

That's some radical-lookin' MINI body kit Jan!

======================

Earlier today I saw an IB/W Cooper at Los Coyotes Diagonal turning east on Spring with cop following. (hope he didn't pull it over for window tint) I was southbound and waved. It was hard to tell if driver waved back because of the tint.

Haha, I think I saw you tonight around 7ish!

I was on Imperial at Nohl Ranch, in the queue to make a left onto E Nohl Ranch. You were first in line on Nohl Ranch to go East. You got green and cruised on through..
