I got behind, I think it was a HB/W MINI with license plate reading 'dbcooper' or something like that. He honked and waved through his rear view mirror. I waved with both hands...we were at a dead stop in heavy Labor Day traffic on the southbound 5 past San Juan Capistrano, when I got right behind him.

I spotted a DS R53 at the intersection of Serrano and Canon today around 430. We were going opposite directions, but I think it had a black hood scoop. Fun area to be driving around in.

Spotted a brand new silver MCS with new Assael plate in the back on the 210 east bound around 5 or 6pm. I wanted to try the wave but didn't get a chance.

I was cruising the 55N tonight between 17th and Katella with a Chili Red MCS. It was a really cool car with a roof rack, painted arches, it was definitely lowered and had some aftermarket (or JCW exhaust). Also had white bonnet stripes going all the way over the roof and down to the boot. Awesome!

Have You Seen This MCS?!

I totally saw Novemberist... totally...

But yah, every morning around 9:10-9:15am I start my drive down Harbor Blvd. from just North of the 91 Fwy. and I take it all the way down passed the 60 Fwy. till it finally ends after Valley Blvd. Of course at that time it is now Fullerton Rd.

And I NEVER see any Minis... oh, and I wave...

Have you seen me?






The Carbon Bonnet and the M7 Grills make me stick out a little... so if you've seen me, how bout a wave? Tha'd make my day. Thanks guys...
