Yesterday I spotted a HB/W MCS without bonnet stripes. You got on 53 headed south. I caught up to you but I was invisible as I was driving the truck. You took the 290 ramp and then you were gone. There is just something perfect about a cute girl driving a MINI, oh, and the HB wasn't bad either.

Ken, I went to the page and I think that the 2002 Mustang should have more votes than your MCS. YEAH RIGHT. Is there a prize? If so I think that is a sure thing for you.

Not exactly a MINI sighting... but I thought it was kinda cool...

Yesterday while driving to work, another car pulled up REALLY close behind me, then pulled up next to me at Golf Rd and Busse Rd. While waiting for the light, he calls over to me and said he just got back from the Dragon . He said he saw my Dragon decal on my boot (thanks again paulr) and said he had a blast while on his motorcycle. He also said he saw a few MINIs and saw himself on killboy's site too. Kinda made my day

And I saw "fishy" MINI on the way home on Golf Rd/Harlem Ave around 6:30pm

No problem. It was so hot yesterday, I'll blame it on heat stroke I was crazy enough to drive home with the roof rolled back, not down. My temp gauge read 103F

I hit the trifecta this morning

Spotted 3 DS MC's on Golf Rd between Milwaukee and Arlington Hts Rd between 8-830am. Got a wave from 2 (the MC that followed most of the way and the MC at the Circle)

Happy Motoring!!!
