Then there was the one at the supermarket a bit later who I flashed at (and waved like a loony) to let them turn right in front of me. And they sat there. And sat there.

Oh well, I'm glad there's some Mini owners who have a sense of community, just haven't really encountered many - any - on the road as yet.

Spotted 2Bob at 12 noon on Warringah Road on my way back home after picking up the Hot Chilli Red, Bob gave me a BIG wave, and I did the same, I wonder if he knew it was me

They have about 14 combos I think - really wanted black with yellow characters, but not available - so everybody thinks I have NSW plates.

I just got my standard slimline plates in the new colours - more info here...

i think that the yellow/black combo is actually the best there....

Seen a buckload-o-MINI lately... just a few to remember...

Red MCS with Black VIper Stripes coming out of Kings Parking opposite Fed.Square... I went to wave, and realised I had just parked around the corner and wasn't in TUX anmore :P

Silver MCS @ Deakin Uni in Geelong, he's a 1st year Archi student...

Red, Yellow then Blue MCS drove past on Bridge Rd. Wednesday night as I was eating my dinner in a restaurant.

Red MC at intersection in Geelong last night, waved and nothing... as always.

That's about it for now... although I keep walking out and finding a BRG Cooper with Black Bonnet stripes waiting for me in the carpark
