I kind of feel for you owners of the past. With the sudden surge of MINIs all over the place. Yet, in the past month it seems to be getting bigger. I thought we were safe on the west side of Rochester. Only a few that we were lucky to ever see. Now - WOW! Yesterday I saw a Black/white, Light Blue/White, Red/? and in most any day I may see 4 or more in a 10 mile drive. Every once in awhile I do get a glance at the Mellow Yellow that KlownKrr has thought could have been us. Love to meet the owner of that one someday and have a laugh. You all that were at the Towne rally, remember the clubman owner with his 6'+ friend? Stopped and talked about an hour at the bank one day. Then there is the media and the reviews. If there are only about 800 made a day for the whole world why is the Media so big on the car? Still can't figure the Oct. Motor Trend deal. Don't get me wrong, the attention is great. But why? It can't all be due to the gas prices. Is it such a nice car that all others want to be like it? What might be your thoughts? -s

The only complaint I have about the increase is that many of the new owners missed the memo that buying a MINI is joining a club.
They need to brush up on their MINI etiquette. In Fredonia alone there are many many MINI's you would think there was a dealership in town. But most just drive on drooling when I wave. Not all but most.

I see a few motoring around, but not too many. It still amazes me that every time I come out of Wegmans there's a crowd around my car LOL I just tell people that MINIs are so much fun they should be illegal!
