cruising along, minding my own business. obviously the two in front
of me are aware that im behind them. there's also cars around me.
with no warning, the MCc's driver goes over a road kill and sure his
bone stock car might be able to clear the opposom, but obviously
mine can't. i got no where to go, but to slow down a hair...
CRUNCH!!! frickin hitting my aero bumper's lower lip.
he could've at least slowed down, gone around it, flashed his
hazards, or even waved to get my attention for a quick heads up.
come on, if you want to be a motorer, look out for your MINI buddies
around you, you friggen selfish bonehead!
luckily, my car appears to be okay.
ok, end of rant.

Ken Glad to hear everything is ok under the hood.
I spotted a BRG Cabrio in Libertyville around 4:30-5pm today in the Forest preserve got a wave from the nice couple as they drove out, what a nice day for a walk in the park.

H or possibly I B/B MC on 176 in Wacconda about 7 pm you would have seen me to late to return a wave, not quite sure if you caught mine.
And I know I saw another one today but I've drawn a complete blank as to which MINI it was.
I'll be gaining a decent size commute (wohoo its been to long since I've been required to drive the MINI long distances) in the coming weeks so I'm sure I'll be seeing more MINIs out there.

Spotted an '05 or '06 B/W MCS w/ Checkerboard Roof and Indiana plates heading Southbound on the Ryan this morning. This car was definitely modded as it rode quite a bit lower than stock. Tried to wave, but the occupants never looked in my direction.

Spotted, this CR/W MCS @ IKEA today at 6ish.
Nice looking car, and the girl who was driving it wasn't bad either, I waved as she was loading up and she waved back. Very nice.
