GreenCactus Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Posted February 20, 2017 I guess at least one of us should record the successful pass-by wave on outer Beltway around Exit 44 at 5pm Friday. I didn't react immediately to GreenCactus and Cricket's freakin foghorn because I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong minding my own business in the slower lane. But hearing it a second time right next to me nearly ripping my eardrum in half, I look to my left and see Laura excitedly waving and I wave back, just as excitedly :itsme: HI! Sorry for nearly causing you to go deaf! I rarely see anyone and if so, it's usually impossible to wave due to traffic. I might have gotten a little excited.

GreenCactus Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Posted March 8, 2017 On my way home tonight, there was a 3rd Gen Brg/black Cooper on 495. She pulled along side of me and gave me a very enthusiastic wave and thumbs up. It made a yucky commute a whole lot better! :wavey: :rock:

melissa99 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Montgomery County is the land of the Paceman. Since moving there I see them every day - I've seen at least 4 different ones in the last week alone. I was recently cruising 270 with a Jungle Green Paceman who flashed his lights, beeped and waved when I exited. Good times...
melissa99 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Posted April 26, 2017 I saw Cricket on 495 this morning! I beeped and waved :motor::wavey:

carman63 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Could've swore I saw Cricket on Sycolin Road yesterday, heading toward Leesburg. Today, I (sadly) saw a 2nd Gen JCW Black/red, plate "MNI NJA", or rather the aftermath. Caught fire, completely destroyed

I don't usually go home through Leesburg! Sorry to hear about the JCW. That's never good. Edited April 29, 2017 by GreenCactus Reasons
chrimson Posted April 29, 2017 Report Posted April 29, 2017 On my way to M&G on VA-267 W, caught up to a red Cooper S Cabrio with black sport stripes, and tags IWANDR. The woman driving and I enthusiastically waved to each other as we maneuvered through traffic and exchanging leads. Was thinking she was headed to Sterling, but we separated at VA-28 and bid adieu :itsme: Was fun -Chris

mikev Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Came across a couple of MINIs last night on my way home from Sterling... One was a 2nd Gen Justa, don't remember the color... the other was a BRG 2nd Gen S, license plate R56 RCKT. The rocket and I went back and forth a couple of times as we progressed west on Rt. 7 and onto Battlefield Pkwy, before I broke off for home.
DIREK Posted May 11, 2017 Report Posted May 11, 2017 I had a Max sighting on Backlick road this past Tuesday. It was too late to deploy a wave since we were both going the same direction and Mark looked kinda serious.

melissa99 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Posted May 23, 2017 Good call... :laugh: It always bunches up in that area too - that's why I stay to the left to get past it!

Edge Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 Not another MINI but today while stopped at a traffic light a few cars back, I got a thumbs up through the passenger window from a bright blue Ford Focus RS (which is the really fast one, if you didn't know), with the license plate "LADY STIG". At the next traffic light, we ended up next to each other, and they rolled the window down - two ladies in the front seat - the driver told me that my car was beautiful and that she loves JCWs. I returned the compliment, said I had a lot of respect for the RS (was not just being nice - I do!), so that was a nice encounter.

GreenCactus Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Posted August 4, 2017 I have a mystery... this morning on my way to work on 495, a motorcycle passed me, honked and waved (friendly, like they knew me). I have NO IDEA who it was! I waved back but I'm stumped. Was it any of you? :wavey:
Revwillie Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 I left 495 early and came down Eisenhower eastbound this morning and a GP with temp tags followed/ leapfrogged with me to Holland circle. GP1656 I think. I will have to keep an eye out in the future where they pulled out. 06 SB/S MCS Checkmate, Premium, Convenience, LSD, HK, Chrome interior ZOOM641
