I drive around all over the place and smile and wave at everybody, toot the horn, park in the middle of the road, flash my lights and no one ever sees me.

Come on all you mini lovers here in Victoria, we are being outdone by our northern neighbours, they spot minis every day. Have a look at how many are spotted here in Vic, crap are minis as scarse as hens teeth.

Come on, look for me and tell everyone.....My car stands out, doesn't it.
I will be the one, waving and tooting and swerving all over the road, cutting off all the police cars....( After indicating of course.)

Keep checking around the western suburbs, Williamstown, Werribee, etc..

The problem is that most of the people you see probably aren't aware of our awesome little community.

I try and avoid Hoppers! (payback for calling me old)

5 in one day wasn't too bad of an effort was it lol...you just gotta know where to look and yes having a mini radar does count for example....grt western highway is always a good source and is a part of my commute to and from uni i also know of a restraunt where it is quite often to spot a few minis haha....yes minis are rare but keep your eyes open and you're bound to spot some

If it makes you feel any better, I drive up and down blackburn rd day in day out in my blue clubby van and my nightfire red 95 Rover mini (alternating days of course, only have one bum) and nobody ever notices!

Just to make Bohomini feel better I did park next to him last christmas time in my van, but wasn't an Ausmini member so couldn't spot him!

Yes, I'll second that - at least in inner/western Melbourne, Mini's are scarce. The only one I've seen all year (besides the BRG Rover in the street over) was on the West Gate a month or so ago, and was an AusMini'er.



Well, I'm in Kingsville/Yarraville, so if you're around these parts make sure you make some noise!!
