haha man that traffic circle scares me sometimes when there's huge trucks heading into it. I've only used it for going to Woodfield locally.

Adam and Marco sighted last week...

This is a week late, but I kept forgetting to post. I'm now working in Racine and have driven my 325is most of the dreary days. Last Wednesday evening on my way home on the tollway I saw who I beleive were Adam and Marco zooming onto the tollway from Grand Ave./132. Were you guys at Gurnee Mills or something?

I was in my Maritious Blue 94 325is and was zooming to the Rt. 21 exit ramp.

Two coopers in the CNH parking lot yesterday

I drove my MCS to work in Racine yesterday and when I left there were two Coopers in the lot. One CR/W, the other I think was either HB or PH, was too dark to tell.

02 DS/W MCS

I spotted a red with unique white stripe getting on the northbound Edens this morning at Dempster around 7:15 AM. I was a few cars back on the on-ramp JB/JB MCS. You caught the clear traffic and I got stuck in it.

That would be me!!

I have been a few cars behind you a couple of times before, and never could catch you.

ernesto -

You're welcome. You suprised me. I wasn't expecting to see you coming from that direction.

Unfortunately I have other plans the 29th. Next time for sure. I've been meaning to join the CMMC since I got my car in September.

Spotted!

Yesterday around 5:45pm... eastbound Golf Rd through Suicide Circle, the "fishy" MCS. She was driving behind me most of the time.

Today @ 7:45am MCS PW/B ... you were heading east, I was heading west on Golf by 294. Got a nice wave I think?

Saw DS/B 2pm Monday in Morton Grove/Austin Ave southbound behind my MCS on Dempster St. and we both turned south on Austin - could be same car?

Also spotted a used DS/B MCS (for sale (with pic) at a non-MINI car dealership) advert in the transportation section of the Sunday Tribune. An '03 with I think it was 37,000. Advertised price was 19,999. Way to hold on to value, babayy.

I'm gonna change my commute a little bit, use Golf instead of Dempster, and see if I can spot some more locals between Des Plaines and Morton Grove .

You'll know it's me when I open my sunroof and WAAAVE, when it's 10 degrees out,

I'll have to keep an eye out for you then Tatt I'm always cruisin Golf Rd everyday. Coming from Glenview to Elk Grove Village and back. Sometimes I end up on Demptster west of Suicide Circle... but I don't see any MINI's on that stretch so I stay on Golf.

Any other Chicago MINIs doing the Dragon????
