Pulled onto the M3 tonight on my way home and imeadiately joined a pair of Coopers in the fast lane.

Red/White at the front
Green/White second
and my Indi Blue/White at the rear.

We were together all the way upto the M40 where I pulled off and the carried on.

Just wondering what the longest unplanned convoy of Mini the was?

Cool!

The longest line of Mini's I've ever been in was 1! It was me in the front, me in the middle, and me in the back!

In one day I have had 3 together twice... at one intersection, 2 side by side and one behind and then, 2 hours later, 3 in the same lane for 5 block each separated by one car -- one turned left, one went right2 blocks later, and one went straight...

unplanned my best is only 2 but this is a great thread idea!

does anyone else drive like a 15 year old car thief to catch up with another mini when they see one, or is it just me?

Only ever got three in a row by "mistake", but two of those were Abi and I, the other person I don't know!

It was cool though, MINI Cooper S, MINI One, MINI Cooper.

Had 3 in a row a number of times on the M1 but never more by mistake - as for planned, hmmmmmm just try some of the MINI Runs. 64 on Chilterns, 45 planned for coming MK Run on 21st June (less than 2 weeks

), and 74 registered for Cotswold Run on 10th August. You really cannot beat the sight of all those MINIs in a row - and the look on peoples faces as you drive by

I know it really doesn't count but when I went to the "Italian Job" preview with the group from Mini of Nashville we had a line of 93 according to the security guy at the theatre. To bad it was such a short drive. (The theatre was about a 1/4 mile away)

Been in 3 in a row, all 'S's which was a little bit unplanned (OK, one of the other cars happened to be my wife, and we were going to work at (unusually) the same time/direction....

Trust not the heart of a man for whom old clothes, and the Mini, are not venerable!
