Spotted today:

no waves, no problem... I need a wash BAAD!!

Barbara got a wave :thumbsup: from a fellow Motorist on Sundown Rd. in S. Elgin today in a black or blue MC(S?) with white bonnet stripes.

Last Tuesday, I pulled up behind an all black '05 or '06 MCS at the intersection of Central and 55th. Exchanged waves while waiting for the light to change. Followed him into the economy parking garage at Midway.

I need to look at my signature every once in awhile to remember what colors my Mini is!! This weekend doesn't look favorable for washing off all the crud.

I took off the last layer of crud Thur :nod: , too may layers slows me down :razz: , wind drag and all, LOL :grin:

dark color mini heading north on 294 right near the O'Hare Oasis @ 21:15.

Spotted:

THUR night at 9pm - eb Golf Rd from Rand Rd to Shermer Rd - PW/B MC - you were behind me the whole way...

TODAY at 2:30pm - Golf Rd/Shermer Rd - PS/B MCS - tried to wave but you were checking out my MCC (just got a wash too!!)

AND... this is post #2000 for me :grin: :thumbsup: :grin: :thumbsup:

around 1:15 this afternoon. IB/MCS with white bonnet stripe's heading east on I-88. Flashed lights but no response.

Yesterday on Rt 31 near N. Aurora. DS/W MCS... received a double headlight flash and a wave!! Returned both :thumbsup:

Congrats Francis! Hey so what kinda secrets are there in 6th Gear?

umm.. I haven't figured that out yet. Besides, I'm about 10,000 posts behind Drew... so I have quite a ways to go... Not sure if I'm worthy yet :lol:

:lol:

Congrats Francis:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I haven't been out long enough for any spottings recently, but I have a feeling that'll be changing soon:) 40mi commute here I come:nod: Good thing I don't have to worry about staying under warranty anymore.

Hope all the MINIs are digging out ok.

got a wash yesterday to clean off the crud :grin: it's not moving today.

so you're gainfully employed! Congrats! which one?? I thought both options were a bit of a drive. Either way, thats great news. I feel sorry for anyone up north... I hear MN was supposed to get a foot of snow :eek: I guess the storm missed us... it's just really wet and slushy...

Full time employment too so I get all sorts of nice state employee benifits after my 6 month probation period. I'll be based out of Downers Grove, so the good part is most of its going to be highway so it'll pass by quickly.

Pearl was cleaned 2 days ina row when it was 50 out so it better be a damn good reason if I'm pullin her out of the garage, even though I've got everything set for an awsome photo in my driveway with the tin of HEAVY snow we got up here (6in snow wet 1in slush; I can make leathal snow balls now heehee) But we're supposed to get anoother 4in so I'm holding off just yet.

Nice to know my tax dollars are being used on such great MINI's.

Keep Up the Good Work, A Tax Payer

that's great :thumbsup: it's a bit of a hike to get to DG from where you're at... mostly expressway.. but still a hike. I guess depending on your schedule, traffic may not be a problem. Good luck with it :)

Spotted this morning on the outbound Edens:

CR/W MCS with roof rack, thanks for the wave.
IB/W MC with snow hood, thanks for the wave as well. Did you exit at westbound Willow road?

We had a MINI parade going for a while.

Tues. 15:55 PW/B MCS thanks for the flash, hope you caught my wave, Sounded great as you sped up and pulled through :)

22+ River near Good Shepard Hospital

We passed a CR/W going south on Rt 56 near Rt 20. I tapped the horn as we passed you on the left :)

Anyone else drive through that white stuff today in your MINI???

Spotted this morning around 9am - CR/B MC on Central Rd near NE River Rd

Hiding in the garage while I still can. (2 days of clean MINI left)

Paul is that new sig hinting at something?

aww yeah, drove up to Lake Geneva and rte 12 had some super deep blowing snow that was scraping the underside of my car. if the rumors are true about the MINI changing to turbo AWD, i am so all over it. it'll be like driving a lil tank!

spotted yesterday:

BRG/W MCS 94 express lane heading north around 1:30.

was in the mini van with mom though- i waved and if you saw me (which i dont think you did) you would have been like "why are you waving?! Who ARE you?"

White Stuff, and Ice Stuff,

Every day in my MINI, and any day in the snow just makes me that much happier with my MINI, DSC ROCKS!

I don't mind the white stuff.. especially in the MINI. I used to hate winter driving in my Saturn. The best thing about driving a car thats not so good in the snow is when you get a car that can handle it, it's so much more fun to drive when it does snow :)

I was on Golf Rd last night.. going home and the snow was blowing side-ways across the road. I've never driven through that before. Good thing there wasn't much traffic at that point. Better for me anyways :grin:

Any bets on whether the snow will melt in time for the Spring Drive next week ???

Being a weather geek, I dont think we will see much melting, however the Drive next Sunday looks good for 40's and SUNSHINE!

Red mini eastbound on Armitage at Western at 11:30 am today.

I saw my MINI's evil twin at Gross Point and Church in Skokie this afternoon..

Gold/Black MC with black offset double stripes (on the opposite side of mine)
