I wish it was me! I was still at work at that time.

Today a PW/PW MCS with chrome minilites in a parking garage off Spring and Clark in Long Beach.

Motored with a Silver MC today going over Colima... Thanks for letting me over!

Also spotted a new Red MC parked in the driveway by the intersection of Miller and Lambert.

GP# 1980 (License plate = JCW1980) in Carson near my parents' place.

Who are you??

I know you live in the neighborhood cuz I've seen your car around the few times that I actually visit my folks.. but this was the first time I saw your car with the personalized plate and I know you're on NAM cuz you have the tow hook mount for your front plate.

Spotted Shortypie again in the PW/Blk MCS the other night. Must have been Friday night around 7PM on the 605N to 105 W transition. I saw you trying to merge to the right on the 605 N, so I blocked the traffic so you could get in, but that was a slow pack of cars there, so I took off up ahead and jumped back in---that's when I saw your lights coming fast behind me. Played a nice game of tag for a short while before your exit.

Thanks!

Richard

I saw 3 fellow motorists on my short commute this morning (Laguna Niguel to Dana Point) - don't think any of them saw my wave though.

Anyone know who that is?

RSM Starbucks. Today, about 11AM. You have a NICE, new Black MCS. I parked beside you in my PW/PW MCS. Didn't they look great together? Kind of a yin-yang experience!

Been seeing a TON of MINIs, but very few waves...notable, however, was Monday -- a CR/W MCS? with reindeer antlers turning off of Rosecrans on Village Dr into the Manhattan Beach mall area -- I was the girl in the DS/B MCS full of people coming in the opposite direction and I saw your peace sign! I hope you saw my retardedly giddy waving -- it's so rare anyone initiates a wave to *me*

How weird is this:

Leslie's original post is #1980 in this thread, and she's asking about GP #1980.

FYI--per the GP roof number list on mini2.com , GP 1980 is owned by "Terence" in Long Beach.

Spotted Danni's 250 horsepower Cooper S at MiniCorsa while he was installing my Helix SS and oil change.

Thanx Dan!

i saw two mini's today in Lakewood by the Lakewood Mall: Candlewood / Clark Ave
first one was red/white with some gnarly two toned hood stripes and some sort of roof decal (i think) and had some union jack miror caps. Nice looking young lady did not wave at me as we went separate ways.
Second one I saw was a yellow/black one heading perpendicular to me, no chance to see the driver or get any details.

Yesterday along southbound 605 on my way to SCMM breakfast I spotted a blue/black MCS (not sure if IB or newer shade) between the 91 and 7th Street exit. After catching up I waved and so did driver.
I thought they were headed my way also but he kept driving west on 7th while I exited at Studebaker.
