There's a R/W w/W stripes going down Oak Spring Road near Libertyville @ approx. 7 in the morning. And then there's the PS/B MINI parked at the train station every morning.

I found "TANK" PS/B MCS with some AWESOME RIMS! He's in Morton Grove near Beckwith and Waukeegan Ave.

"Artoo" is spending more time in the garage lately to keep the milage down a bit. 32k since Nov '02.

I was spotted by another IB/B MCS with Black bonnet stripes and checkered trim around the door panel, on Touhy near the Target by Village Crossing. If you post here, "HI!" There have been some snobby MINIs around my neighborhood. Nice to see a friendly wave every now and again!

I'll be flying to Chicagoland for the holidays so if you's guys spot some Chicano checking you out or trying to snap your pic, it might just be me.

(Alsip, around 145th & Cicero, will be "home base" while I'm out there- not quite the city but close enough.)

Sun 12.5.04
Brit Green/White with white bonnet stripes heading north on Meacham
around 11am (?)... I was not in my MCS so you didn't notice me.

Red MC heading east on NW Hwy around 3pm.
I accidentally flashed my driving lights. oops, sorry. I meant to
give a quick wave and hit my button.

Oak Park Area

I don't see many sightings posted for the near west suburbs. I see a number of MC's and MCS's parked around my neighborhood (a couple are almost identical to my car), but don't run across them very often on the road.

'04 MCS DS/B
