GreenCactus Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Posted February 20, 2011 I saw a Countryman "in the wild" today! It was northbound on Gallows Rd and passed me while I was waiting at the light. I waved and the little boy in the backseat waved back! :top:
cmcveay Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 I think Lona accomplished a first for tagging a fellow MINI owner yesterday! As we left the Sheetz in Haymarket and were getting on Hwy 29, I spied an Astro Black 1st Gen with a really cool offset yellow stripe front to rear. VA Plates "JCWORX". We waved at the guy as we went by him and he jumped onto the end of our little MINI train. After about 30 miles, we pulled off to say hello but he kept on going. After that, he pulled up alongside us in the right lane and Lona and he rolled down their windows and Lona passed him a DCMM card. They turned off shortly afterward. It was a nice looking car, hope to hear from them soon! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Driving along today with Mark in Max and he spies the Red Bull MINI. I tell him to catch up so I can wave. He is dubious that they'll wave and tells me it will have a couple of cute young women in the car. Sure enough, we catch up and there's two young cute blonde women and they don't even glance at us, much less wave. They were not MINIacs, just doing their job I guess. It would be fun to have a job that involved driving a MINI Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

She got really excited about Cricket when she saw her in the garage, but I don't think she knew about the MINI community.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 This morning as I parked my car in the garage I saw them directing a nice chocolate brown (I don't know the official color name) MINI into a spot near mine. Well you know I killed some time and then introduced myself and gave her a card. It was so new she had paper plates on it. She said she used to be a member of the club, so hopefully she comes back. Then rotten day at work, with a crazy PM Then heading to an appointment down the GW Parkway and I spy a Horizon Blue MINI, the driver tooted and waved. I was so happy and waved back. As he passed me I saw the JCW badge. About 10 miles down the road and after passing 4 non waving MINIs I saw him again as he was stuck in traffic in the right lane and I was passing. He waved again and yelled something, but I couldn't catch it. I had an SUV up my butt, so I couldn't slow down enough to chat. The waves made my day! :wavey: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Iflyga Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 It was good to see you TGGRRR! :wavey: I tried to yell my "screen name" but I wasn't loud enough, Ha! That is my normal commute route. These days it is so rare to see a fellow enthusiast who waves... let alone someone I recognized from the Mini community. The only other one I've seen in the last couple years was HZBLUR.... So, I couldn't help but get a bit over-excited. You were the envy of the GW yesterday, with the top down and big smile on your face. All the hard tops and "just another car" folks were checkin out your ride! :rock: Then heading to an appointment down the GW Parkway and I spy a Horizon Blue MINI, the driver tooted and waved.
