Wow..! I though the MINI meet I went to had a good turn out with 12 cars...! Mind you, that was in MA in Dec - you guys have got the weather for it..!
Looking good in that parking lot - did you get a lot of stares or are MINIs common enough that no-one asks about them any more..?

Personally I think more than one MINI in one place at one time is cause for celebration!

Yeah, lots of stares, lots of looks, lots of thumbs up, and of course everyone's favorite: "kinda car is that?" The place where we went is hilly and has lots and lots of windy roads. Many city folks there with their sports cars. Saw many Miatas, there must have been a club up there yesterday also. Lots of street bikes too.

MINIs are still pretty rare around here. I'll go weeks without seeing another one, though I saw two this morning. Go figure!
