nope didn't leave town, something always comes up financially so I'm going to school locally. Hopefully nothing gets in my way, and I'll finish. You probably do see me around LSL, I live right off of dauphine and drive hwy 40 all the time. If you ever see the back and it says CHECKS. you know it's me.

No, we're right at the corner of Woodbine & Craig. We see you heading up Craig every so often

I live in clayton and have an '07 PW/PW MC. I see at least six other minis in the Clayton/Moorlands area. However, nobody returns waves around here except the BRG mini that lives across the street from me.

Happy Motoring

No, but our old house is still up for sale if anyone is interested!!

Greetings from London! Our move went really well and we've now been here about two weeks. Everything is going great and we're doing just fine. Lot's of cool Minis to check out -- they look very, very at home here on the streets of London.

Thanks again to the club for the Oyster card gift certificate - It's already been put to good use.

Cheers!

Adam

Hi Adam, thanks for checking in! You know, I saw a MINI just like yours the other day. Boy was that guy flying! Weaving in and out of traffic, knocking over construction cones, flying through the gravel, bouncing off of a semi or two. Errrrr, nevermind.

Adam! Good to hear things are going fine.
The big question though: When are you going to get a MINI/Mini to drive around yourself in London????

I keep seeing a local mini with the license plate MICOOP, I finally got her to see me and wave back it's always so exciting when someone waves back. Well have a good one.

You can look for my MINI! I live in Troy, Il but am in west county nearly every day. Normally St. Charles and O'Fallon, MO. I'll make sure to honk and wave at any MINI's I see as well.

Just got my MINI last weekend and was instantly hooked! I bought it without a test drive (I was promply offered one once I was financing) and had a surprise at how sporty it is. Any drool on the steering wheel is just signs of enjoyment!

Almost a MINI owner!

We get our new MINI in 2 weeks or less, dark silver metallic w/black top & every option in the book. We live in St Charles and will be one of the few in town. We will wave & honk to all MINI owners, unless we fall asleep at the wheel (like you know who). Can't wait to get the Mini, it's a disease we think!

Solid Gold siting!

Got a rare siting today.

Heading west on 40 a Cooper was coming up in the fast lane. From my rear view mirror I thought it was a mustard yellow '07, but as it passed I saw it was a pre-'05 Solid Gold MINI---don't see those often! I caught up and passed it as it moved over to the right lane to make its exit. I gave two quick "beeps" and the driver waved as I passed.

Our Mini came in today! Look for us in ....

The St Charles area. DSM/Black roof, low key color for sure, guess we are not as young as the rest of you. We pick the Cooper S up Friday, unless it rains. Saw a new green Mini just around the corner from us. They are popping up all over now! We see them every day. njp

We picked up our Mini & also about 6 inches of snow! Guess we'll have to read the manual for a few days! What a neat car, so different, it even "talks" to us. njp
