You know you want to buy my car!! :wink:


:lol: yeh, I would like to take your front aero bumper and swap it with mine... you have like zero chips. I would be interested but not sure how much you're going to charge... so... hummm. :razz:

I think I saw your wife again today (sat 9/17)... :lol:

Was home to Polo, IL over the week of Aug 20. Tried to explain to all my relatives what a MINI was (even showed them my scrapbook). During a drive around Polo (SW of Rockford) we spot an '05 JB/JB MCS! It had personalized plates, and I caught it on video, but I'd have to review the video to get the number. Nice MINI! Anyone here?

Saw a PH convert, top down, Lake Cook Rd. turned onto Rand Rd 10 a.m. 9/17. I know it's not anyone on the board. No waive!

Are you in the northern suburbs, like somewhere in lake county? I love lake county romping, I hung out with people from Stevenson while i was in high school and i've spent countless hours cruising the twisty's of northern illinois...

When i take delivery of my mini we should romp some roads...

TrippleBeem 09-18-2005 10:12 PM

I will hopefully take delivery of my MCS before oct 16th, if i do, I'll be there. I will probably be in my Brake in Period, so I wont be able to romp to hard, but it will still be fun!

there really are several nice roads up in Lake Co. Not very Dragon US129-like, but rolling and scenic nonetheless, with a few curves here and there. Come on out, it should be fun.

who's got the R/W MCS over at Chicago Indoor Racing? They have the URL for their place in the back window so I know it's somebody computer literate. Are they on here?

ernesto 09-25-2005 06:54 PM

One of the owners of http://www.chicagoindoorracing.com has a Red/White MCS. They sometimes have it on display in the track area inside..


I suspect we will be having another event out there a bit later in the year!!

TrippleBeem 10-13-2005 08:28 AM

I stalked you last night...
 
You were in a DS MCS with checkered mirror covers and an Oasis sticker on your rear. I was in my Civic, silver with no hubcaps. I saw you coming down lincoln and then caught up with you at western turning left into Bowmanville.... i made some quick turns to follow you and then pulled a sketchy u-turn after you parked. You gave me the stink eye, which was understandable as I was totally stalking you!

I live on Summerdale and Paulina, and I am picking my new '06 up from Knauz tomrow, we should go motor sometime!!!

From what I understand the car is currently for sale.

It's a JCW with a rear camera and TV system

TrippleBeem: Come on out to the Chicago area Lake County Rally this Sunday.. Perfect way to get a few break-in miles


Saw an EB/W MCS with Mini-sota plates northbound on Edens near Golf road this morning with a Semi truck running 12 inches off his back bumper. I was on the motorcycle, so I didn't wave.

DanC 10-17-2005 10:46 AM

saw the blue fishy
 
I finally got to throw a big smile and wave last Saturday to the EB/W Cooper S with the big blue fish decals on the doors. :thumbsup:

We share a long stretch of the morning commute except she goes in the opposite direction and I usually don't drive the my Mini to work, so it was very frustrating to throw a wave and get nothing in return. This time I was heading home from a different direction and she happened to be going the same way. She threw me a nice peace sign in return this time. :smile: that totally made my day.

I zip around the northwest burbs in a DS/B Cooper S w/bonnet stripes, so if u see me be sure to toss a wave in my direction.

happy motoring
DanC

I work at Golf Mill, I always park on the Greenwood side near the Sears Automotive center. I work at the US Cellular Kiosk (GO SOX!) just south of SEars, come stop by sometime... i usually get off at 9:15pm, lets race down milwaukee and test out my Passport 8500 x50!

Enclosed is a picture of my Mini next to the Sears automotive center in its favorite spot!

So you are the other DS/B MCS in Park Ridge. I've seen you car parked around town. I used to call you my Mini's doppelganger, untill I put on my rally lights, boot stripes and stickers (I like to be unique):nod:

DrkSilver163 10-25-2005 01:37 PM

damn i wanted to get those boos stripes, too! Now i dont want to copy, ill have to figure something else out...i really want that aero kit, hmm...:thumbsup:

Yesterday afternoon I spotted what I beleive to be an '05 MCS, DS/B with bonnet stripes. We were both NB on the Dan Ryan right by the home of the

2005 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX :thumbsup:



I continued towards downtown while the other car headed towards LSD and the Stevenson.

TrippleBeem 10-29-2005 05:43 PM

SPOTTED! CR/B MCS, no bonnet stripes, headed south on Milwaukee just past Dempster. I switched lanes, honked, and got a wave in return!


Like your style...


Join my CR/B club!

We live in Joliet - have had our MINI since July, have crossed paths with many MINI's and so far only ONE return wave. What gives?
