Hey Juan, were you going there for the authentic Tacos Jack serves?? 2 for a buck, can't beat it!!
Saw my first 07 on the road, I was in the carpool lane at the 57/60 (Diamond Bar) heading south, she was on the 60 headed east, never waved or looked over, my son was getting tired of waving It was a CR/B MC with a young female driver

I parked right next to a silver MCSC with black top in the parking garage at the Riverside County building today - nice ride! Got a wave back from a PW cabrio with black bonnet stripes yesterday in the OC too!

I Love This Car!

On my way home from work yesterday , I found myself in the line of cars stopped for a license, registration, and sobriety checkpoint. As the Police Officer approached my car I started reaching for my wallet to get out my drivers license. The Officer said "I don't need to see your license, I just wanted to ask if you like your car?" I of course told him I love it. "I'm going to get a MINI myself." he added as he waved me through the checkpoint.

Mmmm! They're cheap but tasty!

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

Spotted a DS/B MCS just a while ago. Nice-looking you lady was southbound on Bloomfield between Rosecrans and Alondra. She turned just before Alondra and waved out window as I honked like a madman.

UCR area, AB/S MCS Checkmate, young lady driving, waved as we waited for the light on University (my youngest thinks I'm nuts).
I see a Light Silver/W MCS with white bonnets stripes and custom plates sitting at a law firm just north of the 60 in Riverside...never the driver. Have to stop and tag it one of these days!!

Hey, I live on Studebaker!

The CR/B you spotted might be one I've seen before. They usually head over to the Park 'N Ride.

I drive that way every Monday - Friday... The traffic on the freeways is a drag, but the roads up by Florence and Studebaker are bad.

LOL! Well, I feel like the only person in Walnut that makes an effort to wave to other MINI owners. I see a few here and there and the drivers are totally oblivious, or look at me like I am a loon. I think we should start a MINI thing at the Starbucks on Grand and Valley and show up the ricers that meet there every (Tuesday or Wednesday?); I forget which day specifically.

Enroute to San Bernardino this afternoon, I saw a DS/B MCS eastbound on 210 around Baseline. I honked, he waved.

Stopping for dinner at Applebee's across from Ontario Mills, we saw a Pepper White Cooper parked there. I left an SCMM card.

I think I saw Astrochex yesterday around 3:30p on La Palma (near Miller I believe) in Anaheim, I was the shamefully dirty PW/B heading west and was caught with the proverbial pants down and missed the opportunity for a wave or anything :(

Then later around 4pm a CR/W MC with plates like "Minimyn" was behind me on Studebaker & Artesia in Cerritos, I think she waved as she was passing me while I was turning in to go to work. Again pants down and missed the wave. :(

I'm not doing very good with this waving thing, though I will keep trying.
