Vancouver MINI sightings

I am visiting Vancouver from Chicago for a few days at a business conference.

Lots of MINIs in the downtown area, but most are Coopers and only a couple MCS's..

Welcome to Vanncouver. If you see a PW/B with Union Jack mirror caps and Konig anthracite wheels in the downtown area, That's me. Gimme a wave....use both hands so I know it's you Not many modded MCS downtown, they're all in Richmond, but there isn't any reason for a tourist to venture into Richmond

Hey, I was in PoCo yesterday. Went there to deliver a few Christmas cards and had lunch with a buddy.

I didn't see any MINIs other than my own

Saw quite a lot of modified one today in Richmond.

Funny thing was, I was stopped at a intersection and there were 4 Mini (1 at each corner)

All look like they have been tinted and one had the hamann front lip. Very nice.

Yeah, There's only a couple of "S"s here in PoCo, I like it that way! and a couple of Coopers, see a young girl in a white/blk roof cooper quite a bit when driving to work on the Mary Hill bypass.

I live in Burnaby but I see more Minis in Richmond, Vancouver, & North Vancouver area.
I see the yellow MC with plate "MY SUV" driven by a lady every now and then in my local area.
Welcome.

I saw a BRG R50 MCS - all the time on Brunette & Richmond Street - New West, he always give me a friendly wave when I pass by him.

There are lots of MINIs in Richmond, but usually just ignore me when I try to wave at them :(

I see a BRG/W with bonnet stripes coming down Royal Oak towards Marine Drive in Burnaby on my way to work. We wave at each other every now and then (when we do meet up). I'm usually going the other direction.

I saw the BRG/W MCS again this morning at Royal Oak and Marine Drive. I waved, but it was raining to hard to see if he reciprocated this morning. The at the other end (Moscrop), I got cut off by a minivan.....(sigh).
