Spotted thread

I see so many minis around town, so I figured why not start a spotted thread to see if they are on NAM!

There's a blue R56S that parks very close by to where I live, one block north of the loop! If you're on here, are you a student at Wash U?

Then I've seen a red R56S with crown spoke wheels on WU campus, just wondering if you're here on NAM!

I honestly see too many MINIs on my daily commute to remember all of them though, they're quite common in STL

Grey R56S parked next to me, white stripes/white roof with web spokes. Love the color combo!

That particular one wasn't, but I have seen another red JCW with web spokes (I think!) around the Loop. Today I also was behind a PW R56 Cooper

Manhattan, beautiful car, I just don't know how she/he manage to have the same parking spot that's almost impossible here lol, I wave at the empty MINI lol. Out of 100 waves I get non back... I don't know what's wrong with people :-)

Thanks for the info! 4/27 is probably the worst time for me though, start of reading week and final exams. I might have to try for things 1-3 hours away if they have earlier events.

Keep posting the meet ups.. my head whips around when I see a Mini with some mods.. Not too many around my stomping grounds (West County) from my drives around I270

Anyone gather at the Sonic in Kirkwood during the summer Friday nights? A nice group of Minis would be very cool to see.
