2nd Generation MINI Spotted in SoCal

[samsonthesaxman]

My friend (also a MINI owner) reports that on a commute to work he saw three black MINIs driving on the freeway, with the new 2007 sandwiched in between the first and last cars. It was all black and had black tape hiding several body panals. I had no idea there was one cruising the streets of Southern California--this happened near LA around the Calabases area on the 25th.

ya i saw them too, except it's driving alone... also a black one, and i saw a red one as well it's been about 3-4 month... recently i also saw a volvo test mule... even saw mustang about 3 month before it's debut... you know why, kanan exit towars malibu beach is test route bmw and i guess some other car manufacture as well, the reason is because that route past through high attitude and to sea level with many curves and not a major road.

if you check BMW's website you'll find exactly where that test route is.

(by the way i saw Audi Q7 driving around about half year ago as well, not test mule, no covers, seems like someone actually got their hands on it... some how.)

there's some rich ass people in westlake that can get their hands on everything.
