Guitarfrk75 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 So I picked up my new baby yesterday - Green JCW with a black roof (no stripes yet) - and someone passed me on 270 this morning and waved - it was a Red Cooper S with lots of badges on the back (I was still half asleep so I didn't get more than that...) I think I'm going to have to tie myself to my desk so I don't go and drive around the parking lot every half hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenCactus Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I had a very spirited run last night around 11:30 on Rock Creek Parkway with a BRG/W Cooper. When we got to Calvert, I turned right and the other MINI turned left. When I looked over, she waved! :wavey: I saw a ton of MINIs today. None of them waved back, though. However, I wasn't driving Cricket, so maybe that was why? :stupid: If you see someone in a Zipcar waving frantically at you, wave back, it's probably me. :motor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I just had a good little group of waves. First I saw this really pretty dark red (sorry don't know the real name of the color) Clubbie. It was obviously loved as it was so shiny and pretty. So I tagged it with a note saying how pretty it was. Then I got my first wave from a classic Mini, he was a good waver too, big smile, I really felt the fun :wavey: Then I got a wave from a Chili red MINI just a min or so later.

VioletDC Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Saw my 1st motoring Mini the other day ... it was red w/a Union Jack roof. I was at work, outside, so I didn't get the oppty 2 wave. Very cool, tho! That's only the 2nd Mini I've ever seen; the 1st (a dark grey color) was always parked over on Capitol Hill.

GreenCactus Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I tagged a Horizon Blue/Black MCS at the Target on Rt 50 in Falls Church this afternoon. It had dealer plates from Maryland and a MINI of Annapolis license plate frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VioletDC Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Saw my 2nd motoring Mini on Rolling Road the other day! This one was a dark blue w/driving lights.

cmcveay Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Went through the Exxon station on Little River Turnpike near the Beltway this morning. As I was getting out of the car, another MINI pulled up at the pumps across from me. Nice looking Astro Black MCS and the driver stepped out and I thought I'd lost my mind! WHAT! I MISSED HALLOWEEN? She was wearing a little red suit and had horns on her head... She pitched some trash into the can and drove away. As I pulled out, she was sitting in the parking lot across the street with a couple of other cars. Really though, who drives around in a devil suit with horns on, in a MINI Cooper at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning in June????? 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a dream it's a nightmare. I think I had the dream about Cricket because that morning there was a BRG that just wouldn't wave to me. I got next to her several times and she kept yapping on her phone and didn't even glance. As you can imagine I was frustrated and thinking how Laura would never have missed the wave.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I walked out of the Ballston Metro and my Cooper senses started tingling, so I looked around and found an Oxygen Blue Cooper, tagged it! Now I'm giving tags to Mark as he told me there are 3 MINI's in his work parking lot and one is a JCW.

miniandi Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 That's one of my pet peeves. I use my turn signal EVERYWHERE (picture me turning into my driveway with my turn signal on!!!) and it bothers me immensely when I see people not using theirs. I'm pretty sure there was never a year where turn signals were an option on Mini's, either. :security: I use mine into parking spots and when I had a driveway as well. I also always have my lights on, something my grandpa started doing before DRLs were even a thought.
