Are you in a Mini neighborhood?

Where I live in Portland OR there are 4 Mini's within 10 blocks. 2 MCS and 2 MC. There may be more parked in garages where I cannot see.

My neighborhood is also full of my other favorite vehicles - VW Vangon and Eurovan campers.

 

None in mine



My garage at work is a different story though.... we actually have two garages, one inside the building and one attached to the outside.

Within these two garages are....

My cr/cr MCS
cr/w MC
ds/w MCS
eb/w MCS

 

No mini's in my hood but there is one that lives a few miles away that I see regularly. My hood is full of SUVs. Families with one or two kids need Expeditions and the like you know.

 

I have seen around 5 to 6 MINIs in the proximity of our condo.

 

None in my neighborhood.. In fact I only know of three in my county. And its the second largest in California. (Geographically that is :smile: )

None in my hood either. I had been seeing a yellow mc living about 5-6 miles away, but it has not been there lately. I seem to be the minority now.

 

Newburyport(MA) is CRAWLING with minis!I have 4 within a 1 block radius of my house,and rarely go anywhere without seeing at least one.By the way, none of these folks is a waver/light flasher/thumbs-uper, very frustrating to say the least (doesn't stop me though )

 

Women drivers rarely wave back.

 

You have great taste in vehicles

 

Women are the only ones who have waved at us:smile:

 

Everywhere...

 

I see one slightly modded red MCS about 2 blocks away in the next
community. Its a sharp machine. :smile:

Looks like it has Borla exhaust, lowered (?), and 17" Oz's.

 

Only 1 that I know of that actually lives in our huge neighborhood. And rarely do I see him. But there are TONS on the roads around here that I see on a daily basis....

And I ALWAYS wave - even if I'm not in the MINI (which is most of the time since my other half drives it).

Chow!

I see at least 5-8 MINIs motoring around my West Los Angeles 'hood everyday, as well as a few classic Minis! Sadly, most of them don't wave back to me. But I always wave at them or flash my brights!

There are probably about 6-7 MINI in my neighborhood, but apparently we are seldom on the street at the same time. I only actually see one every other day or so (maybe). We do all wave, flash lights, thumbs up...whatever...but some of these folks I've actually talked to so it's not like we're total strangers.

 

There is a Mini about a half of block down...

 

University Heights (in San Diego, CA) seems to be a Mini-hood.

My PW/B MCS is the latest addition. 2 blocks to the west is a CR/B MC, 2 blocks south from there is an EB/W MCS, 1 block south from there is a PS/PS MC (those are all on Maryland).

I think there's a VR that lives somewhere on Madison, too.

It helps to live in an older neighborhood where Minis don't have 3-car garages to hide in.

 

There is a MC in the town I live outside of,thats it for local,but I live in cottage country and see at least one a week in the summer,up here from the city.When I commute into the city[Winnipeg]for work,I see one or two a week,and when we see each other,we wave like crazy.Our plates do say"Friendly Manitoba"

 

Only 1 all black MCS up the street from me I see her occasionally at the grocery store

Feeling is mutual!

 

We be doin' TIJ in my 'hood. An IB/W MCS lives in my garage, while the mother of my son's classmate drives her CR/W MCS all around town; and a PW/B MC just showed up this past spring in one of the driveways down the hill from me.


Still a far cry from the MGC scene. I know of only about five others in all of Ohio, although I'm sure that there are several more.

 

I've had a Vanagon MV and two Eurovan MVs! Love'em!

In my neighborhood we have a R/W MCS, an Indigo MC, my R/W MC a Bl/B/ MC from Washington state and a BRG convertable classic Mini.

 

I'm not really sure where my 'neighborhood' starts and stops, but there are probably 10 MINIs on campus and countless others in surrounding Ann Arbor. On campus I've seen a CR/B MC, DS/B MCS, SG MC, LY/Check MC, IB/W MCS, LY/W MCS, BRG/W MCS, plus my CR/W MC... all seem to be driven by students.

 

I've seen 3 minis in the last 3 years. One CR/W MC/S I think was owned by a college student from out of town. One Indie Blue MC that had North CArolina plates and was just passing through, and a LY/B MC I saw in the Sam's CLub parking lot that had a parking sticker from Bedford, which is one town over. Other than that - nada. Until my PH/W MC/S hits town soon!

 

Man! where do you live? In the Boonies or what???

Come down to Miami, FL. Here you'll see soooo many MINIs (30-50 average a day) that within a day or two you will get sick and tired of seeing them on just about every corner.

Classic Minis are not a rare sight here either.
