This morning a passenger in a silver S on the 110 pointed... I waved and smiled, but didn't get a like response... and then I felt like an idiot. I think, maybe, it's better to be ignored.

could've been me. my dog is pretty big; he's part german shepherd part akita part chow, so he sits as big as a human passenger

I followed gray r53 from melrose avenue to 101 south. It had NAM sticker on the back windshield. Whoever was driving that car, you got a nice mini.

I'm sorry for stealing your parking space for the past couple of days, but until that creepy van stops parking next to my old spot I *may* continue taking your spot since I get there earlier.

Well maybe ill see some of you guys around!

Awesome! I don't believe I've seen yours, but I've seen a Cool Blue cabrio around though. My MINI's BRG and I'm usually parked in the back.. oh and the creepy van hasn't been there lately so I have my old spot back.

Got a nice wave from a Jet Black MCS today that was in the carpool lane of the 405 near LAX. I responded in kind, and then had to shoot across to get to the 105.

Got a wave on the 60 from a PH/W R53. I don't think he was able to see my wave back thru my tinted windows so I put on my flashers to say hello. :0)

Saw my first Clubman today! It was a Dark Silver/Silver Clubman S.. and since this sighting was in West LA there was no wave because the driver was busy talking on a cellphone.

Too dark to be certain of color or see a wave, but passed a MINI on the northbound 241 about six PM today. Plate read "2PAPAPT".

It's depressing that my MINI is in the shop and when I wave to people from the loaner they look at me like I'm crazy.

Saw my first Clubman on 15 South around Mira Mesa yesterday a little before noon. It was an S in one of those metallic blues that I can't tell apart, with chrome line exterior.

The Clubman is so distinctive even my mom has noticed it! She mentioned having seen "a different kind of Mini with 2 doors in the back" earlier in the week.

I live in Escondido and drive on the 78 to go to work at Tri City and I see at least one or two a week. I wave or at least flash my lights if they are going the other way on the highway.. But it seems like a big majority of the people dont know what to do.

Wave to me!! I have the IB/W mini with black rims. Cant miss it. =)
