I knew I saw that R56 in Pacifica the other day(7/12)... though I'd swear it was a Cooper... no hood scoop on the one I saw in Pacifica (So of SF by 20 miles) Almost turned aound and gave chase but work "beckoned"

And the fog keeps the lungs moist and healthy!

It's fog - "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco" is my favorite Mark Twain quote.

After these spottings of the R56 around SF, I'm keeping my camera with me at all times ;)

Why stop with photo's. I say bring on the video camera. Lets get some real action with the spy cam.

BTW... Is that fog or just really bad smog in San Fran. How can one breath in that? Oxygen anyone?

Mini fans needs become better in the actual pursuit of the elusive R56 and they definitely need better cameras ready for action!

Loch Ness MINI. Vague MINI shaped blob barely visible in the morning fog.

Ah, summer in San Fran. The car looks good bathed in the romantic glow of the horrid fog.

It is going to be an exciting summer as we near the September reveal of the next-gen MINI. I am looking forward to all the professional and amateur spypics. I don't have a MINI, but plan to get one in the next two years, so I am eagerly watching for any next-gen content.

Thanks again, Gabe, for providing the greatest MINI news site on the 'net!
