Spotted: Silver Classic Mini "DBCOOPR" turning into the Trader Joe's at National / Westwood. I had been following for about a block or so and I wanted to catch up and wave but one of LA's finest was right in front of me.

I had a pleasant exchange of waves with a gentleman at Golden Lantern and PCH in Dana Point - he was proudly displaying a SCMM decal in the back window. If you are here in the forums - I'm the old guy with the black hat in the cool blue cab.... What a pleasant start to the day!

Had a nice trip along the 241 N and the 91 E this morning about 8:15. I followed your nice Black MCS with white stripes and a really COOL grille badge! Love it! Enjoyed having you follow me for a good portion of the road as well MINIs together look like they are having lots of fun!

That's the car that inspired the plates on my '04 MCS! I saw him at the 2002 Mini Meet West at the Orange County Fairgrounds. I laughed and said "I love your license!". His response "I'm hiding in plain sight."

I've had DBCUUPR on my car since new. On the way up to Vegas last month for AMVIV, I got stopped by Nevada's Finest on US95 north of Searchlight. They were very amused by my plate, said "we have your parachute", and let me go with a warning!

Today was Mini day in the San Fernando Valley....saw a ton of them!

I notice a very cool parked one by Corbin and Nordoff in Northridge. It was an EB/B with black bonnet stripes then I think red flames on the side.

Then at the shopping center in West Hills by Khol's saw a new PW/B MCS with red interior.....very nice pop! And a whole bunch more driving around!

I saw a nice EB R53 MCS on the 10 East at Fairfax tonight around 815. It had some crazy yellow wheels and some kind of custom exhaust. I got a wave.

Saw a Chili Red MC on Florence Ave. this morning... Sorry if you waved, I was totally spacing. Later on I saw a Space Blue checkmate (they didn't return my wave) on Bellflower Blvd; both in the Downey area.

Saw a bright silver mcs with black rims with a SoCal MiniManiacs sticker on top of rear window parked at top floor at East Los Angeles Courthouse. My car was parked right next to yours. I wonder why you were there.
