I spotted a IB/B with factory black bonnet stripes heading east on NW Hwy around 3pm near Euclid. I was blinded by the sun so could not tell if it
was a mc or mcs..I think it was a mc.

are u sure it had bonnet stripes? I was near Euclid around that time. If it was me, I made a right on Euclid. I didnt see any MINIs around when I was in that area.

Yah, I looked like my car without the aero kit. :smile: I guess it wasn't your
ride.

There's a R/W w/W stripes going down Oak Spring Road near Libertyville @ approx. 7 in the morning. And then there's the PS/B MINI parked at the train station every morning.

I found "TANK" PS/B MCS with some AWESOME RIMS! He's in Morton Grove near Beckwith and Waukeegan Ave.

"Artoo" is spending more time in the garage lately to keep the milage down a bit. 32k since Nov '02.

I could not tell if it was a male or female driver as he/she flew through
the interestion pretty quick. :lol:

i saw a PW/B MC or MCS..it was around 7:45 or so and was dark..i couldnt tell.

Anyways, it was on Roselle rd. near the intersection of Roselle and Irving park rd. I flashed my brights as ya, but didnt get a reaction.

Spotted a IB/White MCS again during my lunch hour. You zipped
through Woodfield's Mall Dr. around 12:50pm. :thumbsup:

I was spotted by another IB/B MCS with Black bonnet stripes and checkered trim around the door panel, on Touhy near the Target by Village Crossing. If you post here, "HI!" There have been some snobby MINIs around my neighborhood. Nice to see a friendly wave every now and again!:thumbsup:

I'll be flying to Chicagoland for the holidays so if you's guys spot some Chicano checking you out or trying to snap your pic, it might just be me.
