Spotted a Mini Coupe today

I was on my bike on my way to meet friends for a ride this morning, on Hwy 126. Between Piru and Castaic, I passed a caravan of BMW SUVs which appeared to be escorting a "tribal" camouflaged Mini Cooper Coupe. I hovered in the next lane for a while taking it in and looking at the details. I was not impressed. I wasnt in a position to take a picture.

Later, the group I was with stopped at a mountain diner, and we were joined by Jay Leno and his Carrera GT.

Jay is such a great guy.

Sounds like a fun day.

Leno seems like the most awesome guy in person, yet I can't stand him on his show(s). I'd love to hang out with him though.

Cool Mini!

Those GT's sound incredible!!

How does Jay pick what vehicle to drive each day?!

I'll bet Conan would argue that point.

How was ACH? Did you go up the back side to "9 Mile" or another way?

How many denim shirts does Jay own?

That Mini looks awful.

Come on Carlos...don't hate it just because you would need a booster seat to drive it. :p

It was pretty good. Hardly anybody up there due to the weather elsewhere. We went up via Lower Big T to AFH, right to ACH, then to NR. On the return, went down Nine Mile, then down AFH to ALiso, Soledad, Sand Canyon/Little T. Cool and cloudy but no rain in the mountains.

The real question is, "Does he have any casual clothes OTHER than denim shirts and jeans?"
