We saw Jay!!

We followed Jay (IB/W MC) through the zoo of the Columbus Street Navy Federal Credit Union parking lot around 11:40 today. We were in the stealthy Tahoe vice the MINI so he didn't see us, though it looked like he had a female companion with him

Saw a LY/B Cooper yesterday on Hampton Roads Center Pkwy. Caught up from behind but I don't think the driver saw me.
Was doing some testing so I had to do U Turn and go back the other way.

I've been meaning to post this for a few days, but am only getting around to it now. Last week when driving around in Virginia Beach, I saw a black with silver roof classic Mini - *very* nice looking car and we exchanged waves sitting beside each other at a stoplight on Virginia Beach Blvd. A day or two later and I saw the same car again - this time going down Rosemont. I couldn't get up beside this time because of traffic

I felt like I was in a huge car when sitting beside him the first time.

BRG/W MCS on Indian River Road

Ian and I saw a BRG/W MCS heading west on Indian River Road at 4 PM today. Kim had the MINI so we were in the Tahoe.

You do know you need to post pics of your car,at least in your gallery. Tradition and all that.

Guess I'll miss the CF thing since I didn't get invited
Probably 'cause I'm on their **** list
I'll give you a wave if I see you. Which BBS rims?

Only thing I know about them is that they are aftermarket BBS 17" rims, here's a pic.

I don't remember how to do it, but I do remember it was easy to make a personal gallery. Click on the Galleries heading, then personal galleries, there should be some instructions. If you get stuck, I'll help.

LY caught on local news...

CBS local news tonight was doing a piece on the most dangerous intersections in Hampton Roads, and the film crew was filming at Jarman Road and Greenbrier Parkway, actually interviewing a woman about red light runners when lo and behold the light turns red,
and a few seconds later a shiny yellow MINI goes right on thru

SNAGGED!

That is funny!

Seriously tho, I would be in favor of cameras to catch the red light runners. Too many people hit the gas when the light turns yellow. What do the rest of you think?

Gee, since I'm usually one of those "it was pink!!" people, cameras would be REALLY bad for me!!

I have to admit to being "in the pink" a few times myself.

I saw a pure black/W MC with rally lights heading N on N Witchduck Road today about 5:10 PM. I honked and waved but got no response

Spied a CR/W yesterday

A lady with a big grin was driving a "2003 MC, CVT, CR/W, white bonnet stripes w/ black pinstripes and John Cooper sig, premium/cold weather package, sport seats, gauges, aux audio input" with QUICKER plates was motoring down Va Beach Blvd. Where was Jim?

Good spot Nikki!

I saw a SG/SG for sale at Greenbriar VW yesterday, and started a thread about it here.
