Yes you! All of you!
I know, makes no sense but let me explain. I sit on the NE corner of the 4th floor of an office building at 108th AVE NE and NE 4th (a large nameless travel company... DOT.COM!!!!). I'm typically in my office throughout the day in meetings or on the phone and I tend to stare out the windows on the North and East side of the building which offers me a view of every car crossing this intersection. Needless to say, as a car nut, I notice EVERY MINI that comes through. Yesterday I saw a silver JCW body kit clubman (drool) and I just saw a R56 with (black/white) with a rack on top. So, if you're ever crossing the intersection... honk your horn, flash your lights, and say hello! Ignore those silly people in the crosswalks staring... They just work here. Todd |

I'm remain undecided. Todd

I was just going through here today. I guess I should have honked or revved up to 5000RPM or something to get your attention! (I'm usually coming up NE4 eastbound heading toward the freeway and going completely too fast through this intersection, so you have to be quick to spot me, haha.)

Todd, I sit in the big brown building on NE 4th and 110th and am on the side of the building that faces towards yours. I do the same thing and catch myself pausing when a MINI heads down NE 4th St. Next time I'm doing it I'll look across to see if I can see you doing the same.

I too am afflicted with watching MINIs go by N and SB I-5 and into and out of dt Seattle from a birds eye view 21 stories up where I work. However, this morning we watched a big haul tractor cab burn to the ground on NB I-5 as the driver helplessly watched his means of living go with it. Sad to see but interesting at the same time. We also felt and heard three of the tires on that rig blow up from the heat and fire. Finally SFD shows up and about half way to extinguishing the fire they run out of water. Amazing. The cab was long gone before that but still not a good thing to see. The fire was eventually put out leaving just a pile of metal on I-5. I prefer looking for MINIs.

Wow. I could say a lot of things about that, but my curiosity has control of me as always so I just will say "I wonder what caused the fire."

I work across the street at PSE. I'm amazed at the number of mini's in our parking garage. If I had guess I'd say we have about a dozen mini owners here in these two buildings. I'll honk the next time I come out the side entrance.
