Yesterday I must have seen a dozen MINIs. Too many to keep track.

Going to be a beautiful day again today, I will have to motor.

Saw one with Xenons about a block north of there tonight, Plus three in Naperville (1 illegally parked and almost rear-ended by many, if the sign say no parking 4-7 on Main Street I shouldn't have to dodge you @ 4:40:impatient (BRG/B MC) 1 wave from a CR/W downtown and no wave from an HB/W)

And I've seen a few PW/B MCs recently, MINIs all over and one wave, come on people be a little more friendly.

Also saw a good lookin' driver in G coupe, of which I spotted several today.

CR/W MCS in LZ on 12 I waved you were looking the other way

Saw a light blue MC with white stripes on the bonnet in the parking lot of the University of Wisconsin at Madision Vet Hospital today. Saw an orange MC on Walnut St. on the University of WI campus and saw a dark green MC on University Ave in Madison, WI today. I saw more today in Madison than I do in the western suburbs!

Last night, about 9:30 pm, saw DS MCS, driving east on 290. You would DEFINATELY remember me following you towards the city, especially with dodge ram headlights in your rearview mirror. Too bad I didn't have the MCS out that night, you have great anticipation for traffic movement.

Spotted Again - DS/W MCS with white bonnet stripes and driving lights parked in front of the McDonald's on 115th street right of the Bishop Ford. I work right across the street at a Sherwin-Williams facility and have seen this car parked in the same spot a number of times. Do you work for Mickey Dee's?

DS/B MCS on Douglas Rd. in Oswego @ 2:10 yesterday.

It's the same one I see parked all the time at Target. Finally was able to tag her car as well. Hopefully a new member will come of it. Noticing how it's always park next to an island away from the crowds, she thinks like most of us.
