Seems like all my fellow Mini owners in Chicagoland are on the damn north side!
I'm in Hickory Hills.. (I-294 & 95th street)
I'd be willing to drive up north for a cruise of any if you could come to the dark side to kick it with my car club one if these days if you'd like.

We were down in your area a few weeks ago for an Ice Cream run in Frankfort.

I drive 45 thru Mundelein everyday on my way to work, and I usually wave at a MINI or two...seems like fewer waves in return these days though. I'm the 1st gen Indi Blue/White MCS...which will soon be a Pepper White/Black MINI Clubman.

LOL, that's ok too, but you'll lose I do the same thing. If a MINI passes me I dog them like the Italian Job. Unless of course I see an opening and steal the lead

Maintain the Lead??!! Every morning and every night is a challenge..!! Besides ACTUALLY trying to get to work, the potholes, and road construction horses all over the road have AUTOCROSS written all over them!! I run 355 south to 80 every morning.. Its only time until the green wheeled machine finds you!!

My commute is south and east. I go from Hickory Hills to Chicago Heights for work, so I doubt there's much chance I'll see you all during the week. If I do, it'll be while I'm driving my work truck.

I'm not out that far west too often, but I have friends that live out that way so I'm out there on weekends sometimes.

I think Chicago land MINI owners are against waving... I swear.
I wave all the time, hanging my arm out the window if it's open, even flashing my lights if I feel like it.
I think in all this time (year or so) I've gotten maybe 2 waves back, and 1 was from a very confused person.

The only thing I look at is that you have a mini, and you don't look like you'd beat me up for waving at you.

I was going to say, "Sorry I'm not blond with big hooters..." but you went a different way with your demographics.

The lack of wave reciprocation was bound to happen eventually though. As the MINI became more popular, and more are sold, the percentage of "enthusiasts" owners will be lower. Thus those aware of the MINI-wave will be lower in percentage. I still wave though...then curse at them when they don't wave back.

I recently had a reciprocating wave like that, which I still appreciated. We both had our windows open, I waved, then looking in my side rearview mirror after he passed I saw a delayed wave out his window....gave me a smile....moral to the story, its never too late :P
