GreenCactus Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Posted May 20, 2013 There's a silver/white R53 parked in my work garage (Rosslyn) today. I didn't recognize it, does it belong to anyone here?
jcooper Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Just ran into a yellow MINI with black wheels and black trim over near fairlakes. Awesome MINI I really want black trim now!
Poison Ivy Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 welcome to the world of dechroming and blacking out. I went the other way... whiting out.
RDG_RCR Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Just ran into a yellow MINI with black wheels and black trim over near fairlakes. Awesome MINI I really want black trim now! Sounds like Slingdog's car.
jcooper Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 I always see a black clubman and I use to see blue hardtop parked in the neighborhood across from fairfax country club I assume maybe they're members?... anywho :wavey:
Poison Ivy Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Do you mean the Country Club View neighborhood off 123? If it's a red and black clubman then that is probably our club president, cmcveay. I grew up in that neighborhood too.

SlingsDogs Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Sounds like Slingdog's car. Just ran into a yellow MINI with black wheels and black trim over near fairlakes. Awesome MINI I really want black trim now! Yep that was me searching for a functioning air pump. And all that black trim including the current rim look is all PlatiDip.

Yep, the blacked out Clubbie is Merlin. There's a "justa" hardtop down Portsmouth a ways. If the garage doors are open, feel free to drop in or check out "Garage Mahal" on FB. We have things going on from time to time. As far as the black trim, I might be able to help you with that. I seem to have developed a reputation as a "chrome killa" and there's a growing following! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
CHILLIN Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 I thought I saw Merlin going the opposite way on the parkway when I was driving home from work today. Once we passed I knew it wasn't though since it was missing the dark windows among other things It was right around Popes Head where I saw you before though.

TheMichael Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Does Rigsby ever make it to the DEA building in VA?
