Poison Ivy Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 It works now. Perhaps this convo should move to the Auto Show Forum? Anyway, did they only bring that one yellow 3rd Gen MINI?
osofast10 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah only the yellow one. Not gonna lie , the show was kind of a bust for me
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 I got a wave today, I got a wave!!! It was a pure silver 1st gen cabrio, right at the start of the Memorial Bridge. I was so excited :itsme: Saw 2 other MINIs who didn't wave but one did!!!! I was thinking that we have thousands of MINIs in this area and only a few hundred here in the club. So statistically most of those MINIs just aren't going to wave. When we find one that does, it's like a prize in a lottery. The joy!!!! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
VaMike Posted February 1, 2014 Report Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Rigsby found two pals in the Hoffman Theatre parking lot this evening. "Room4T" looked very nice with the carbon scoop! Miguel wants to put white stripes on Mickito like those on the countryman. Edited February 3, 2014 by VaMike typos again - mobile devices...

mbiedzinski Posted February 1, 2014 Report Posted February 1, 2014 Saw the lady with the CR Roadster, who I met at the beginning of the summer at a nearby diner. We were coming opposite directions on New Braddock and both turned onto Singletons in opposite directions :motor:in my neighborhood. We both waved!

VaMike Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Driving west on Eisenhower around noon today with the top down we spotted a light blue clubby with bike racks coming from the other direction. We gave a big wave with hands out the top and got an enthusiastic wave back. We definitely get better responses with the top down. Still waiting for someone to throw beads! ;-) ...Mike Edited February 3, 2014 by VaMike typos - again!

I bet you heard his mighty exhaust and then were attracted to his fiery orange paint job. How could you miss him? I saw hundreds of people and was wondering WHY were you all there?

Stephatron Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Big shoutout to Wardell!!! I spotted him in my rear view mirror, wondered if I knew that MINI, Wardell revved his engine at me then gracefully took off.
Bert Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 This Countryman was in the garage at my office on Monday. Nice rack(s)! Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street

LostDenverite Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 I was at the Alexandria Commons shopping center on Duke street this morning and saw this beautiful MINI parked in front of the Staples in a spot far, far away from everybody else. Looks familiar :-)) Unfortunately when I'd completed my business the MINI was gone.

SneakyBaron Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Got a wave back from a nice blue countryman with black stripes and black running lights in the way in to work this morning.
VaMike Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Hey! Yes that was me! You discovered my morning breakfast spot (Panera), though I was running a bit late today. I usually sit next to the front window. Feel free to come and drink coffee with me! Every once in a while I will see another CR S Roadster parked in this same lot in front of Staples. I've tagged it before but I don't think the owner wants to come out and play. We must be persistent! …Mike [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Rigsby" - 13 R59 MCRSm, CR, Blk SS, 17" Blk Star Bullets, Blk HL and FL, Blk Mirrors, Stone Guards, Chrome Line Ext & Int, JCW Int, Championship B/R, Packs: 1, 2, 3, 4, HK w/Sirius, NAV, MC, PDC

I did a quickie lap to attract (your) attention, but I was in a Countryman loaner from PMOA so you might not have given me much attention even if you did see me.
Cambo Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Saw Warren today at the Wintergreen starbucks (again, I didn't have my mini with me so he was confused how I might've known him lol) But as promised, the next time I ran into him I said I'd introduce myself, and I did...and the conversation wasn't awkward at all. Which was surprising because I'm incredibly socially awkward. But a really nice dude...lol, he did however have a funny look when I said his name without him giving it to me lmao. Celia- he asked where/how you were...I guess he didn't know you were at the new location. :top: 2009 MCS - Passenger seat delete--Rear seat delete--Arm rest delete--Cup holder delete--Seat Belt Delete--Cup holder added back because coffee
VaMike Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Just spotted in LA area near the beach: Blue hard top/black stripes with tag "GOLDN" ...belonging to Gracie Gold. (via NBC coverage) Gracie was driving her MINI away from the camera at the top of Apolo Ohno's interview with her, shot in Los Angeles prior to the games. It aired for the second time about 8:15pm tonight.

VaMike Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 I took Rigsby to the touchless wash on Duke this evening. On the way I passed a woman on S Pickett in a black R56 "DEX" with bonnet stripes who saw my wave and gave a nice smile back. At the car wash I fell into line behind a nice orange R52 that could have been related to Tigger! I was about eighth in line. While we waited the driver walked back to say hi and asked if she could see my boot. I opened it up and out popped Tav! She said, "So, that's what happened to the back seat!" We had a nice chat that made the wait seem shorter. She wasn't aware of the club so I gave her a card. ...Mike [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Rigsby" - 13 R59 MCRSm, CR, Blk SS, 17" Blk Star Bullets, Blk HL and FL, Blk Mirrors, Stone Guards, Chrome Line Ext & Int, JCW Int, Championship B/R, Packs: 1, 2, 3, 4, HK w/Sirius, NAV, MC, PDC
