TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Saw a GP2 heading east on Little River Tpk this afternoon, I was going west. I waved but the tint was too dark to see if there was a return. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Goose Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Saw a nice and clean silver with black stripes R53 near Rt. 32 in Howard County. Actually got a wave. First one in...oh, I don't know. Not counting the 15 or so I received in the IN/MI area over the July 4th weekend. Nice not to get "the stare" back. haha.

Bert Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 I got a very nice wave from a woman driving a yellow Countryman this morning on Wootton Parkway and turning onto Seven Locks Road this morning in Rockville, MD. I passed her, she caught up at the light, and she initiated the wave. It took me by surprise since so few Country-people wave. I gladly waved back. :wavey: Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 So I'm driving to work on 395 into DC and I see a chili red on my right, but she won't look at me. Then I see a spice orange coupe on my left and he is looking straight forward. I try to wave but he's just not looking. He has dealer tags so I really want this wave. I let him in front (MINI privilege) and he crossed to the right. I got next to him one more time and this time he looked and smiled and waved back!!!!! :itsme: :itsme: It was a happy time Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Bert, you and I actually did meet at the Scandinavian import meet if I'm not mistaken. We were discussing routes we take home from work and you accused me of being part of the problem with the backups on Falls Rd. :hahaha: I'm just surprised I haven't seen you in the wild yet. But, I will be at Mini of MoCo on Saturday. So, see you then! :motor: Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)
Bert Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 I don't have a problem with anyone taking Falls Rd, since I rarely take it during rush hour. Yes, I hope to see you this Saturday. Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street
mdsbrain Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Anyone know a African-American young guy driving a tastefully blacked out CM running around Maryland?

Lolo Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 That could be my husband. Was it a Royal Grey CM with a die on the antenna? Where do you usually see the car? He is usually in the Silver Spring, Rockville, G'Burg area. We wave whenever the opportunity presents itself, but most times people ignore us. :-( Lolo
mdsbrain Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 Naw it was more like the special edition Cm that comes all blacked out. Saw him in the Bowie area recently.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 So Quitta and I are walking the dogs through the neighborhood today and we see a couple in a volcanic Orange MINI right there in front of us coming to a stop. We both start waving and giving them the thumbs up and squealing in delight. She finally opened her window and Quitta yells "We both have MINIs" I'm yelling "Mine is orange" The nice girl smiled and nodded but I think she was confused a bit. We let her go, but she was well greeted Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
