Chicagoland MINI spottings!
Today was Blue Mini Wednesday. I drove up Milwaukee to Saunders with a B/MCS White Male no wave or look over even. Another B/MC pulling out of business on Saunders, no wave. B/MCS pulling into Mcdonalds off of Milwaukee south bound. Weather is getting warm and the cars are coming out.
1520 I355 20 onramp to 290 split PS/B MCS; on cell phone you were a speck in my mirror by the time I waved (out down the phone pick up the pace and enjoy the ride)
Anyone on NAM in a blue MINI in the shaumburg area today?

Thursday night, Arlington Hts Road and Euclid intersection. Waiting at the light northbound on AH Road spotted a white Cooper at the light, gave a wave and got a thumbs up back!
Saw the Red/Black MCSC with the lightbar at Patrick body yesterday alongside an 06 Blue MCS with a checkmate package while I was having my freshly repainted hatch rebuffed. Great looking car!

half hearted wave?! that's so weak.
when i wave, its like my whole body flails around, restrained only by the seat belt... "whoooa, a MINI! heeeeeeeeeeey! hi!"
so yes, half hearted waves are weak sauce.

SPOTTED
CR/W MC w/ Bumperguard Attachments - WB on Lawrence Ave. in Harwood Heights.
Made eye contact, no wave. Looked serious...he has to lighten up. I sometimes refer to my MCS as my therapy on wheels, and I definitely need my daily dose.

Actually seen this MCS all week. Hasn't moved. Do I get credit for each day I see it?
Anyway, the owner must be on Spring Break...
