EMY-RDL Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 One was a blue R56 with a white roof with a Union Jack and the tag was "R56". I walked over to put a card on it and it already a DCMM Cling! That was me! I did see about 3 or 4 others in the lot, seeing a MINI around there happens every 30 seconds not matter what day or time. Edge - Yes, the one by MoS. I did not realize Wegmans was worth the drive form DC.
GreenCactus Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 We went to Lowe's and since we have to drive kinda far to get to a Lowe's, I figured we could go to the one out there and hit Wegman's on our way home. I have been known to drive over there just to go to Wegman's, too, though.

SpitfireMkI Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I drove Wensley to work for the first time in weeks on Monday, got a wave from a lady in a PW/B R56 MCS on the way home I think I have put on just about 300 miles since the start of 2009.

Scavenger Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Did everyone see the announcement posted a few days ago about the business cards? They had been dormant for a little while as we transitioned from our old website to the new forums, but they're back online again. So, in addition to waving, if you happen to get up close and personal enough, you can have a card ready to hand out. If you don't see an owner, a common method of tagging is to stick the card on their MINI. You can slide the corner of the card under the window molding of the driver's door or put it under the windshield wiper, although the molding is the preferred location. However you distribute the cards, it helps to get the word out about DCMM so other MINI owners can join in the fun.

wolf617 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I've been delivering part of someone else's route the last few days. This morning, I happened to notice a Purple Haze MINI parked in the backyard of one of the houses. Tomorrow, I'll tag their mailbox. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

GreenCactus Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Posted March 22, 2009 I saw Maxcom in Georgetown today! You were headed west on M st. I was also headed west, but I was walking. I would've said hi, but I was afraid to run up to you in traffic!
Krut Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) I saw 7 MINI's in the Wegman's parking lot on Sunday. One was a blue R56 with a white roof with a Union Jack and the tag was "R56". I walked over to put a card on it and it already a DCMM Cling! Inside the store I saw two other members - Jade and Pete (but not their MINI!). I had no idea Wegman's was a such a hang out for MINI's on a Sunday. That lightning blue MINI with white roof is Marcus Neeley - he works at MoS. :-) He'll appreciate that you saw his MINI. :star:But looks like he's already said so in here. Silly me. Edited March 23, 2009 by Krut Marcus already posted that he'd been spotted.
MINI_Voyager Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Hi, For the last week or so, I keep seeing a fellow DCMMer's MINI at my company, a major consulting company. This MINI is a dark grey MCS with black 'viper' stripes (I think) and customized scoop, and usually park in a corner of the parking garage (today the car's parked in the NE corner of the parking garage, on P4). How do I know the car owner is a fellow DCMM member? Easy--grill badge holder proudly showing the DCMM badge! :top: The MINI in question has MD license plates that starts with "MCC" and few other stickers on the side window. Today Dora (dark green with gold stripes) is parked about a car away, only because some meanie took the space next to the MINI. Obviously she'd like to spend the workday with a fellow MINI, rather than be all by herself among strangers.... :bored: PM me if that was you. :wavey:

SpitfireMkI Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Wensleydale passed Maxicooper on Rt29 this afternoon, Chris appeared pre-occupied motoring with all that northbound traffic :motor: So I doubt he saw us zing by heading south.
