Nope, staying home today, and I'm CR/B. Perhaps it was my doppelganger? Did the guy have a goatee?

 

hmm.. i'll have to remember that next time... no goatee I think.. he was busy on the phone...

 

Dark grey mini at the Jewel food store gas station at Geneva and Main in Wheaton 10:45am today.

 

[FONT=&quot]Spotted a brand new CR/W MCS cutting through the alley near Fletcher & Honore & Wolcott around 5:15 ish yesterday evening. I had just parked mine in the garage so you couldn't have seen it. Thanks for the wave, although I know it was for moving out of the way while talking with my neighbors.[/FONT]

 

Got this from a google search:

If there was ever a slick way to get folks to willingly carry around an RFID tag, MINI USA has it all wrapped up. Catering to every person's egotistical side, MINI has begun a pilot advertising campaign in Chicago, New York, Miami, and San Francisco, which gives select Cooper owners the chance to get an RFID keyfob in the mail, and moreover, a reason to consistently drive under MINI billboards. Users can select a custom message to be encoded on their RFID chip, and when they cruise near an overhanging MINI billboard, their particular message lights up for the world (or at least nearby motorists) to see. Of course, we're sure messages will be edited before delivery, and you still need to be down with toting a homing signal around with you each time you cruise, but let's face it, the mastermind behind this ad campaign probably got the raise we all wanted, but didn't come close to. So if you're a MINI owner in one of the four lucky cities, keep a keen eye on that inbox, and word on the street is that MINI USA is planning on hitting up more cities if (read: when) this proves to be a smash hit.

 

It's true.. I got the email... see these threads:

To Cool,

Now for those that have one. Are you taking request from your brother and sisters locally in Chicago?

 

Cruising up Edens this morning, and I came up on a lady in a PW/B MC with Viper stripes. She gave a wave and tucked in the lane behind me.

A couple miles farther we passed a lady in a CR/W MC (a co-worker and Chicago MINI Motoring Club member). Another wave and she pulled in line as well.

The three of us cruised up to Rt. 22, west to Waukegan, and then south till we needed to turn off for work.

A great way to start off the work week!!
