Chicagoland MINI spottings!
CR/W MCS with white bonnet stripes parked in the parking lot of Home Depot in Woodridge...around...11:30am. It was parked way in the back so it might have belonged to someone who works there. Or someone who really wants to make sure there Mini is safe and sound!

OK, lets see if I can remember around 1ish.
a blue MCSC at the intersection of Douglas and 34. Waved and got a wave back.
Then while in line at portillos (same intersection) a DS MCSC with black bonnet stripes pulled up. Also got a wave.
This within 5 minutes of each other.

That's all memory, I keep telling myself I ought to keep a log so I can make sure I get the right times.

I am not from Rockford but I am there frequently for business. Often two or three times a week. Whenever I go there with my MINI, it is a definite rarity there. Of all the times I have been there I have only seen one other MINI and it had a checkered roof. But I think it was black. I could be wrong, it was a long time ago.
