Saw a dark silver/black S on Sunset yesterday as I was driving home from school.

 

Saw a Laser blue with silver trim near 27th st last Friday in the Pick n save parking lot.

 

Saw a blue Clubman with two white center stripes on the bonnet yet only one strip on the barn doors at the Prime Outlets in Pleasant Prairie, WI today.

 

Yesterday, in Rye, NY - a Pure Silver/BLK w/checkerboard mirror caps and black racing stripes for an aft.

Today, a HC/Silver with roof rack.

They are definitely multiplying!

 

Saw a sparkling silver this morning in Thousand Oaks, CA as I was heading in to work. Also saw a blue one on Sunday at Zuma Beach in Malibu.

 

Lucky me - saw a blue Clubman yesterday on the 5 freeway near Griffith Park in LA. Also saw one on the 23 freeway in Thousand Oaks, CA.

 

I think I may have seen this blue S before, I parked right behind her at McD's this morning.



After loading up with an iced coffee, I snapped this pic of my car behind this S

 

dark silver/black mccs heading east on i94, just outside delevan, wi yesterday around 7:15pm. no look, no wave...guy was too busy smoking. driving pretty slow too......i passed him like he had a walker.

I was pullin out of Albertons in Costa Mesa 2 afternoons ago, and suddenly there was a white JUSTA clubman with a blackroof and racing stripes behind me (my twin, only justa, and racing stripes instead of sport stripes)

 

Finally saw another Clubman on the road Thursday on my way to Dulles airport. Both of us waved like mad.

 

White with black roof/trim. Indiana plates. Near O'Hare airport. Finally saw another clubbie on the road. No wave.

 

Drove up I-15 from Vegas to Ogden, UT on Friday; didn't see a single Clubman
On Saturday, went to Wings & Wheels at Wendover; still no Clubbies but did find this great 64 Morris Traveler
Back to Vegas on US 93, still no Cluubies but, in all fairness, not many cars at all...

 

Hey, sweet find!

 

Well they weren't Clubmans, but I did spot these while driving my '08 BRG Clubman. I'm pretty sure they were following me

 

Spotted this Dark Silver Clubman and had to come back for a picture with Pipra on Main Street in Damariscotta, ME!! Sorry it's kind of grainy, it was at dusk. Matching roof and black C pillars, Thule rack, an S with Vermont plates. Anybody here?

 

I have some mini or clubman later in central Jersey recently. For some reasons, they don't really like to wave a their other clubman fellows. Has anyone notice this lately in Jersey or just me they don't like??

 

Weird. It's the opposite for me: other Mini owners don't wave. Only Clubbie owners do.

 

Isn't that how pretty much E VERYBODY in Jersey is?

 

saw a hot chocolate in my garage today cause I didnt want to take it out in the rain

 

There is a woman at work and I drive past her all the time in the parking structure - she in her BRG Clubman and I in our PW. She NEVER even gets eye contact with me...something MUST be wrong with her.

rasputinj and I saw 3 Clubmans (not including our own) last weekend within a 5 minute timespan and not one of them waved or even looked our way. People are so unfriendly .

 

Very cool tread!

 

I don't want to get sighted right now. The Clubman's too nasty from the weather.

 

Sorry to hear about your experience with some fellow drivers on the unfriendly roads. I have had similar experiences and often ponder how a fellow human can be in a Mini and NOT want to wave at other Mini's as if they are loons on laughing gas. I know I do. Sometimes I become sad for them because it is clear they are using their Mini as a, dare I say, a common car.

I attribute the lack of decorum on two things:

• A lack of training provided when the owner became a motor’r versus just another driver. The motoring advisor at the dealer may be too overburdened with just getting the car out the door to really explain the heritage behind the car and the community. Obviously, this has the possibility of inhibiting the new owner from becoming an evangelist of the brand as well as preventing long-term loyalty in terms of repeat sales and accessories.
• The driver could just be a mean person. I’ve noticed this trend increasing over the past year or so. Sure, there are many things to attribute to a person souring but hey, you’re in a Mini, how bad can it really be?!?

My tip to all folks who have been snubbed by someone impersonating a Motor’r is to keep on giving the Hang Loose wave and keep on motoring. It’s best to wave without that weird stare that scares men and women alike also take off the ski-mask. Just a suggestion.

Be careful out there.

 

See? One of the beauties of winter. In good weather nobody would've taken the time to come up with that post. Good on ya!
