I think Irvine MINI has had a sale....in the last week I saw at least 10 MINI's cruising around with Irvine plates, all brand new.

And, since they were in OC, not a single one of them waved. When do I get to start revoking MINI ownership???

We had our IB/W MC parked near dog beach closer to 5 on Friday. We were not in Bully's parking lot.

I saw a CR/W MCS with no front plate headed north through Restaurant Row in Cardiff a little after 5 PM today.

Time to start calling 'em out.

Morning (after 9am)- DS/B MCS with FL plates in Torrance near Western/PCH

Evening (around 6pm) - CR/W MC and a PW/B MC - both heading south on the 405

I was in the IB/W MCS.

Wow, I have been on the freeway to Vegas, and did not see a single mini on the way there or back! I know there is a dealer in Vegas, and one casino (I forgot which one) had this "mini a month" giveaway. Anyhow, I have a tendency to see more minis here in Lomita, Torrance, and on the way to CSULB. Not too many anywhere else though. But to my surprise, when I came home the other day, I found an adorable CR/W mini with a white stripe down the bonnet, checkerboard top (I think?), and those cute lights on the front (near the grill). I was completely adoring it! It must have belonged to a neighbor's guest. Anyhow.. I want my next car to be a red mini!

A couple around beautiful Encinitas today;
CR/W MC this morning - out running errands?
EB/B MCS, aero kit, 18" wheels parked on 101 in Encinitas about mid-day
DS/B (or maybe PS? couldn't tell if S or not)with roof racks this afternoon on 101 in Encinitas.

Great day near the beach, but cloudy at my house. go figure

I've been checking this thread for a while and figured it's time I jumped in-

I have to say that I see at least 5 MINI's a day around Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey-

My question is this- Are any of my neighbors suffering from the same MINI addiction that I am?

Recent sitings:

Tonight Parked on 11th st.: B/W MC, R/W MC, DS/B MCS

On 11th & Washington: B/W MC

On 7th St: EB/W MCS

Driving to work on Lincoln: DS/B MCS, B/W MC,

Seems like Santa Monica is crawling with MINI's (which is not a bad thing)

A quick tip for everyone hoping to get a response to a sighting. I built a ZIP Code locator to help you locate your nearest Motorer. Go register there, and you just might be able to locate one of those cars that you see on your daily route!
