Stephatron Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Saw a Sexy Chili Red, slammed Roadster yesterday on Shirley Gate. I heard you, then saw you, then wanted to BE you! :applause: If the license plate is H8 TCKTS, that's Miguel haha. He had a fast Scion tC back in the day (small world) with a license plate of BBYRU18, ask Justin about it! His MINI is REALLY nicely done.

I'm gonna go reply to the right post now Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 If he has an R56, I'm not really too surprised. Remember Lucy's timing chain went out at 30k (and I owe it to you and Craig for pointing that out!) I forgot to mention that it was a 2003 with 29,000 miles Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Stephatron Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 I forgot to mention that it was a 2003 with 29,000 miles OH WOW, that's realistically probably why it went out. Were they the original owner? That is SUPER low miles and it's an 11 year old car. I'm not surprised to be honest. But I'm very glad you were able to help them!

SneakyBaron Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Passed a Homer on Pickett on my way to work this morning. :wavey:
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Driving home down 395 in a massive jam feeling grumpy when I look to my left and there's a guy in a BRG Clubman giving me the thumbs up. I waved right back as he was speeding off, so I hope he saw me. That guy put a big smile on my face and made the commute a better time, thanks BRG Clubbie guy :top: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
1975_mini Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 I passed a few Minis on my 24 round trip to Jacksonville, NC and back. I will say when I see a MINIs driving 5 mph under the speed limit in the left lane, that Sarah Mclauklin song from the ASCA commercials plays in my head as I pass. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
Bert Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 Right after leaving work last evening (around 6-6:15), about 2-3 blocks away, I heard a pop and burble 2 lanes over on my left. I was on Sunset Hill Rd in Reston and I turned and saw Hellbender continuing east while I was turning onto Reston Pkwy. I don't know if you saw me Craig. :itsme: Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street

melissa99 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 I just got the best wave. I was stopped at a light and a pepper white hard top was coming towards me FAST from the other direction. The driver stuck his whole arm out the window to wave to me. It was pretty great.

Bert Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 A good wave is fantastic. It puts a smile on your face and can change your mood. :itsme: Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street
Stephatron Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 Lucy's heading to Dr. Passport tomorrow so I can only imagine who we will see between Chantilly and Alexandria!
Stephatron Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 I spotted jcooper cornering nicely and taking a hard right turn toward Clifton from New Braddock. I didn't wave because you flew by so fast when I was at the light that I didn't know what zipped by me at first!
carman63 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Saw a blue/white F56 Cooper on the way home today, westbound on the Toll Road, got off on 7. Looks like they'd side swiped something, or someone side swiped them
Stephatron Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 That's my neighborhood! I drive by there all the time!
Goose Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 Just saw MarkDDrew with Max flying around a corner near Old Gallows Rd. I wasn't in mine And I was jealous.
