On the A1/M1 Today today heading south at about 1 ish.

It had a great big "pistonheads.com" sticker in the back window, I tried to wave but didn't even get looked at!!! I was in my Mini I suppose.....

My first spotted!

Would that be a 'proper' mini with big spotlights and stripes on it - overtook me and you pretty much totally turned round in your seat?

Certainly saw you, but didn't see you wave, otherwise I certainly would have returned it!

Psst... It's not actually a real one...

That's me!

Definately a "Real" Mini, not one of those BMW efforts! (Did you see the sticker in the back window? "I'd rather push my mini than drive a BMW"!!!)

About yours being real, I did notice that it was on a Q plate but didn't like to say anything!! It certainly looked very nice though.

It's nice to get a response to a spotted, almost as good as being spotted yourself!

Didn't spot the sticker, but then I do drive a 740, so perhaps my ignorant-BMW-driver-gene autoblocked it!

Thanks for the compliments.
