FAST060 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I like how some people buy limited edition sports cars used and don't even know what they have. Price was right and it is just a MINI right? I'm glad she joined the club, maybe some of her luck and her keen eye will rub off on me in the event I look for another MINI. :top: https://www.instagram.com/smokiendabandit/ 2009 MCS, HzB/B, CWP, PP, "BLUR" MOTORING ID: SOAR143 - MINI Community Service 2013 JCW GP, Thunder Grey, "SMOKIE" MOTORING ID: FAST060 2014 MCS Clubman, Highclass Gray, "THE ADMIRAL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiophile Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I believe she knows very well what she bought, stickers and all. She liked what the previous owner did, and didn't see any reason to change it. Including the stickers. Maybe I missed something? Good she knows how awesome her car is. :top: When she left all the previous owner's stickers and such I guessed (incorrectly) that she just wanted a great commuter car. I have had limited edition cars that people have bought used just because the price was right, they didn't know what they were buying, etc... 2012 Cooper S Roadster - H/K sound and bum warmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TATTRAT Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 had to make a rather impromptu run down to Virginia Beach over the weekend, and I gotta say, the Hampton Roads MINI community is awesome(not that you guys/gals aren't). EVERY MINI I passed, I got a wave from!! Was awesome! After getting back in to FFX, I saw, for about the 100th time, REDMINI. Wish I knew if they were on here. All red, tinted out, jcw grill, euro plate up front that says REDMINI, and a really clean looking MINI over all, love it. flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostDenverite Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hopefully not, nor anyone we know. I was sharing the Tightest parallel parking video with the kid in Marketing and he sent me the picture below. He took this on the bus ride home last week on Connecticut Ave. The driver zoomed through a red light, cut the turn too hard and flipped. They had to cut the top to get the driver out (at least that's the story the kid is telling). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that they have one of the first Countryman convertibles now. :embarassed: Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 o man that SUCKS Maryland drivers i tell you Hey, hey. Let's not get into that now. The problems with drivers in the ENTIRE Metro area are that most are transplants, not only from around the country but from around the world. Mix all those together with their fast-paced, time crunched, caffeinated lives and you get these types of drivers. Knowing a number of firefighters (friends and family members)... I know that they were concerned for the occupants but they also hand fun cutting that roof off a new-ish car.
