    The most I've seen is 5 parked in a row.

    I'm always surprised when I'm in SF at the sheer number of Minis I see! It's like the Mini population increases by 1000% after I cross the Bay Bridge. :D

    What's the collective noun for MINI's?

    I know that three Honda Fits are a Tantrum....

    I recently found out a distant cousin had an 06 JCW that was totalled in the city. A drunk driver in a MINI hit a MINI, another car, then her JCW, all parked. Out of 4 cars totalled, 3 were MINI's. :crazy:

    My first thought was "oh look...they all have their wheels turned the same way....how cute". Duh!....it's San Francisco....they are parked on a hill.

    I'm not used to seeing that here....we have no hills in central Indiana! Everyone parallel parks and then straightens their wheels out. If you roll, it's because your foot is on the gas pedal. : )

    Is MINI not Singulare tantum?

    If it's "trendy" it's in San Fran.

    Hmm... I couldn't edit my earlier post. Because too old?
