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.
yet to spot you, 2percooper!

GLMV random sightings
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 saw and got a wave from the Chicago MINI Motoring Clubs Mr RCH in his distinctive Gold and Gold Cooper on Golf road today. Also saw a sharp Yellow MCS with checkerboard roof and mirror caps.
Spotted 11.28.04 around 9:30am. Blk/White MCS with white bonnet
stipes, white 16's heading east on Dundee at Rt53. I was in my silver
G35C at the Rt53 exit off ramp waiting for the light, so you didn't
notice me.:smile:

I saw an IB/W Cooper S around 8:00 this morning near Devon and Clark stopped on devon with its hazards on, car was empty. I was on my way to school, never seen ya before. Ive also seena CR/W Cooper with white bonnet stripes periodically driving on devon near seridan right by loyola.
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!
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.
(Alsip, around 145th & Cicero, will be "home base" while I'm out there- not quite the city but close enough.)

I don't see many sightings posted for the near west suburbs. I see a number of MC's and MCS's parked around my neighborhood (a couple are almost identical to my car), but don't run across them very often on the road.
