I was in Congleton a few weeks ago and saw some very cool cars plus plenty of MINIs!

Good luck with the new MINI, have to tell us all about it and post some piccies when it arrives!!

Lol! How do I do it? Spot em first, flash headlamps twice from a distance and then wave mannically at them until they are forced to wave in reply!!!

Dont forget, of those I saw yesterday I got 7 waves, yet I must have seen 6 others on the way to work that didnt wave, and when on the motorway it is rare to get a wave back!

As to how I remember them, firstly I have a very good memory, and secondly, I keep a notepad n pen in easy reach

, so only need to remember them until the next time I have to stop at lights or at a junction!

Sometimes I do go whole days without getting a wave back, but it is my personal goal to get every MINI driver to wave to one another, it really makes me grin when I get waved at, perhaps I am just a tad obsessive about it! Lol!!

As for today, PS/B MC at about 730am in Partington, nice wave n grin from male driver, think I must see you most mornings!

IB MC in Lymm at about 735, grin n wave!

Saw the Blue/White with chequered roof MC again today, at the M6 J20 roundabout heading for Lymm at about 740am, but didnt get chance to wave as I was gear changing and dont think you saw me.

CR/W MCS with bonnet stripes, guy driving down the A534 at about 755am, I flashed, n waved you raised 2 fingers from the sterring wheel in reply, come on mate, make an effort! Lol!

EB/B MC in Congleton, Lady driver at about 8am, I waved but dont think you had time to as I was behind a lorry and dont think you saw me until too late!

Saw a MCS Checkmate in blue outside the shop next to ours on the car park this afternoon at about 4pm, I hailed the lady driver and told her about MINI2 and the forthcoming Pennines Run! Perhaps we will see her on here!

Coming home saw the EB/B MC with bonnet stripes and twin spotties on the southbound M6 between J17 and J16, and also a EB/W MCS, I flashed but no response!

AB/W MC just outside of Lymm, female driver at about 615pm, you were waiting at junction to turn towards Lymm, I passed, flashed n waved, you waved n grinned in response!

Thats all folks!!

Fran i spotted you in Waitrose car park not that long ago

mooneymini · Apr 28th, 2006, 07:13 PM

i saw you toooooooooo
i tried to get sam to park next to you but he didnt

loadsa minis!

Becca3003 · Apr 28th, 2006, 07:19 PM

awwww why wouldnt he park next to me?

wheres his MINI spirt?

yeah there were quite a few, parked next to a MINI - for the life of me cant rememeber what colour or model it was but i remember it was a convertable

also think it was a solor red MINI that was going to take my space as i was leaving

v15ben · Apr 28th, 2006, 07:19 PM

Good work Redwytch. The MINI is actually my dad's car and I am unable to get on his current insurance policy till next year. I will be a flashing and waving maniac to all other MINIs and hopefully I will get a few waves back. Was out with a mate from here tonight and we got precisely no waves, even from a near identical car as we were stopped off the road and they drove right by us!

Also spotted a stunning MINI tonight:
06 plate Chilli Red MCC with black vipers, spots, MCS bodykit etc etc etc in Nottingham... hot driver too

yea, there was a silver convertable cooper on the right of you, sam tried to park in the free space but he said there was some bloke in a bmw who wouldnt give him enough space to manouvre.
then there was 2x solar red mini sevens who took the spaces. One of them being jamiebae's. The other one was a left hooker

(i keep awatch from afar)

jamiebae · Apr 29th, 2006, 05:20 PM

It's slightly spooky when you're doing your shopping in Waitrose and get a text saying 'I see you!'

It was indeed me in one of the Mini 7s there

is some one drinking alcohol in that pic could thant be why u where in the ditch lol

glad the car made it out safe

have fun washing your car

mooneymini · Apr 30th, 2006, 11:02 AM

i had some explainging to do when i picked my boyfriend up from his friends house!
such a long story.
one of those random weird nights. My friends are such bad influences - im glad to say that i was under the limit myself

The tow truck guy must have thought we were weird - it cant look good - 3 girls and a bloke in a car full of booze down a 1 way track deep in the heart of woods!
So embarresing.

As for cleaning it - i had just spent ages cleaning waxing and polishing it earlier that day!

i havnt yet seen what it looks like in the light of day...

the front fender was completely stuck on the tarmac so i hope it doesnt look too bad - from the force of it im surprised its not hanging off

Jordan210 · Apr 30th, 2006, 11:09 AM

lol a fun night then hun ?

saying that not as bad as my brother who on one night drove in to a field as he dint see a turn in the road lol

mooneymini · Apr 30th, 2006, 11:16 AM

hehe, - the tow truck guy said it was lucky that there was a big tree trunk just a few feet away behind my car so he could winch it round that. otherwise id still be sat there.

It was so scarey though. Being up in the middle off woods at around midnight - with one bloke who thought it was a cleaver idea for him to walk off in the woods alone to find help and leave us alone in the car!
Luckily i was sober and didnt let him go on his own...
Things have happened in those woods and we were right in the middle - when the tow truck came we saw the lights up the road, and then it turned around and went again becuase he couldnt see us - so we had to run after him and luckily he came back for us.

I must apologise to jamiebae again - sorry sorry sorry for ruining your eveing!
