Sitting in my 7th floor office in Crystal City VA overlooking National Airport there is one major road that seperates me from the planes - The George Washington Memorial Parkway. Even with a somewhat obscured view (trees) It is amazing that while working at my desk, on the computer, a MINI flashing by always gets my attention. I've decided to log those sightings here.

You sound about as busy at work as I am!!

COOPERation · Feb 24th, 2003, 07:26 PM

I think this calls for a web cam, MM, so that we can watch too...I've gotta get me a window.

z3bum · Feb 25th, 2003, 05:44 PM

Jonathan... I'll help you install a web cam if you want one... What's going on, when are we going motoring?

Long time Mike. Are you going to be at the Williamsburg run on March 8th? We do need to get together. I wanted to show you some routes out near Middleburg VA.

MINIMiller · Feb 28th, 2003, 07:42 PM

Northbound US Airways commuter plane - Blue with white - 3:42 EST

Eastern Bear · Mar 3rd, 2003, 11:48 PM

Amazing! If you are at work each night around 545 or 6pm you should see me heading South towards Old Town in my light silver/black S w/ bonnet stripes and ralley lights.

MINIMiller · Mar 4th, 2003, 01:58 AM

First, todays report:
3:45 PM EST Southbound Red/White Cooper with Sunroof - Looking good

Eastern Bear with his Silver/Black S (is that pure silver or Dark Silver good buddy) is going by everyday and I haven't seen him yet

Well, I am usually gone by 5:45 plus it's been dark outside, but I will keep in mind as the days get longer to watch for you if ever I'm working a little late!!!

keep motoring

:white:

:apple:

TomM · Mar 4th, 2003, 02:20 AM

Would that road near Middleburg be The Plains? Or perhaps Zulla road?

I hold the record of making it from The Plains to Middleburg in under 6 minutes, in the MINI of course.

Well Tom, I'll have to check my map because there are a number of roads I take back and forth between 55 and 50 and/or the plains area and somewhere else. Of course, now you've given me a challenge.... 6 minutes eh?

Is this "young" Tom by the way. Winner (or at least place holder) from the Sterling MINI go kart racing???

TomM · Mar 5th, 2003, 01:56 AM

Good luck beating 6 minutes on the Plains Road.

Yep, this is young Tom. Just for kicks, I'll send you the route I have planned for a BMW website which runs right through that area.

Tom
