Spotted bmwr606's CM parked outside the local 7-11..
Looking Sharp!! |
I've seen a couple as I ride to work, one red convertible on Grass Lake Road, and a white Clubman turning onto Rt. 45 from Grass Lake. No waves :( If anyone sees a Moonwalk Grey with the plates PRICKLY, that's me!
|
Waved to red "S" with black stripes behind me at Palatine rd and Rohwling rd yesterday. Nice car, anyone here?
|
Spotted and waved at a GP today on Ashland.
|
Spotted a blue 1st Gen Cabrio on Eastbound I290 @ Cicero this AM. Unfortunately, it was on the back of a flatbed. Looks like the car behind it didn't stop in time. Hope the driver was OK
|
Got a wave back from a lady in a white Countryman at Niles West High School..
I could tell from her expression that she was totally surprised and not ready for a wave. |
I can never get a wave out of anyone... I see 5-10 Minis on my way to and from work (Des Palines to Libertyville via 294) and none of them wave back!!! :(

I look over at ALL MINI's and only once in a blue moon are they looking back. I try to wave or flash my flashers as I pass them. Most waves back in a day is 2. My car is dressed up for Christmas right now with antlers and lights around the roof but still no mini waves :( I did get a couple of thumbs up and some picture taking :)

Saturday I pulled in behind a Black MINI on Lake Shore Drive, heading south. Then, a Blue MC S pulled ahead of both of us into the same outside lane. For a few minutes, it was the 3 of us, me in my Pepper White Clubman behind the two smaller MC's. The Blue S was on a mission, I stopped sticking behind them when they possibly hit 70mph on LSD....:eek::eek::eek::eek: You tend to stick out on Lake Shore Drive when you drive that far over the speed limit....:razz::razz::razz:

I saw a spice orange roadster today near Burr Ridge. Not once, but twice on Plainfield rd. He didn't see me on the way in, but did give me a wave as I was going the other way over 2 hours later.

Had a couple thumbs up from passers by as I was driving downtown last weekend. I really do think less and less MINI owners are waving. I've come to the conclusion that if you're a MINI driver (Minnie Driver) and you don't wave, then you're a dooty-head. 😉 The MINI is cooler than the owner in that case. 😎

I only get strange looks if I wave, so I now just look admiringly at the other MINI....:grin:
I keep it low key....:nod: I try to keep low key... but the green wheels and open header pipes happen to say hi before I see you! |

I've been keeping a mental not of the drivers that actually wave and what type they drive. I'd say about 90% of the following are driven by middle-aged women and they either don't wave or are ready to call 911 if they see you waving...
- Mini Cooper - Mini Countryman The rest of the Mini's are mostly driven by men, and most of them don't wave... I've had my MCS for over a year and gotten MAYBE 10 waves. I pass 5-10 Mini's a day. All of which were by men and not one single woman waved or even acknowledged my wave. I don't think that they are aware of the wave that Mini owners have!!! :( |

We'll have to add a graphic wrap on our cars that states we're not stalkers........ Maybe ECS Tuning can work on that...:lol::lol: |
Got my first wave the other day. Fellow Clubman, yellow, waved at me. I was so surprised to get my first MINI wave that I almost didn't return the favor/wave...:lol:
|
Not so much as a spotting, but a request FOR a spotting... Anyone seen my old Gloss Orange 2003 Cooper S? I sold it about a year ago, I've heard through the grapevine the owner blew up the motor. I want it back... the inner skins of the car are British Racing Green. If anyone knows where it went, please let me know.. That car was nearly hand built.

I might have just bought that car, today. How many could be in the area?

Hey would anybody either a person or a group of MINIs like to go out on a nice cruise tonight? I recently just moved back from florida last week and am trying to get back into the MINI/ car scene again up here! Either reply here or shoot me a DM if you would like to go on a spirited drive with some MINIs!
