TGGRRR (Ali) Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 There's a new HO parking in my garage. It's on a different level so I walked my butt up there and tagged it this morning. Like Tigger's little sibling. I hope they can be friends Grrrrrr- The parking garage guys removed my card after I left. It wasn't on the car as I left and it hadn't moved. However!!! As I drove home I heard some truck beep at me. I of course get annoyed thinking he's just another DC *********, when I hear "Tigger!!!!" I look over and there's Garth driving the truck. We chatted at some lights and waved. It's always fun to see a club member in the wild!!! :top: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Maybe the owner walked by and took the card? Maybe, but I doubt it. The guy saw me putting the card on the car. He thought I was parking on the wrong level. We had a discussion. Pretty sure he took it off Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORazor Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 i was on FB and i saw a video from mach v and i saw the club sticker in the back window is this your orazor? Yeah - that was me! Everyone head to the Mach V Facebook page to watch my dyno run! (Incidentally, you can find TGGRRR's run, which was considerably higher than mine, as a link off of the video.)

Edge Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Motored on 66W and 495S for a little bit tonight with a 2002-2004 EB/W JCW MCS... once it eventually moved over and I passed it, I tried to give a :top: but it was dark and I'm not sure the other driver saw me.

GreenCactus Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I was on 123 last night, near Mclean and I noticed a Sparkling Silver MINI going the opposite direction. It also had numbers (I still have my autocross numbers on) and they were they same as me!! So, does anyone know who drives a Sparkling Silver with a "56" on the door?

Poison Ivy Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ran into a club member named Dan who worked at Petco. He saw my keys at the cash register and proceeded to show me his keys while stating "go MINIs!". I asked if his was the chili red parked out front because Lola was parked next to his... naturally.

Edge Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Man back in Kansas EEEEveryone in a mini would wave (then again, most anyone in any care would wave back) but not a thing here. Oh, it is a thing here... or at least, it USED to be a thing here for the first 4 or 5 years that MINIs were around (2002 through 2005/2006). After that, MINIs started to take off as more of a mass market vehicle in the DC area, and the wave percentage started to drop. DC is full of them now - with 5 dealerships within driving distance of DC (if you count Annapolis & Baltimore), there's just so many of them here now. Still, some of us still try, with occasional success. :itsme: "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Wizzer Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 If I see a MINI, I will wave. Downside is sometimes when I am driving I am off in my own little world and don't catch another MINI till it's too late. I have gotten some interesting looks before they drive by though, and I like to think that I am spreading the wave, and that even if they don't wave at me, they might wave at the next MINI and pass it along.

Edge Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Five people???!!! There's only 4 seat belts :hmmmm: I once gave a ride to 5 women at the same time, in my MINI. It was a relatively short distance in downtown DC until we dropped one or two of them off... but it was fun! Two women in the front passenger seat (one on the other's lap) Three women in the back, with the one in the middle leaning forward and squeezing between the legs of the other two Yep - 6 people in my R53. It was hilarious, but I probably wouldn't do it again... I'm thankful that DC police aren't usually too attentive or strict! :embarassed: "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.
