Chicagoland MINI spottings!
Pulled up next to a CR/W MCS with bonnet stripes while sitting at a light while talking on my cell in the North burbs on RT 41 last Monday afternoon. Waved, but the lady totally didn't wave, acknowledge or otherwise as we sat side by side simply waiting for the light to change... who does that?

you'd be suprised... there's an IB/W MC (female/asian) that travels the same route I do going to and from work.. I've pulled up behind her, next to her at a red light, in front and she make no contact whatsoever. She even has a lead foot (not smart when passing through Mt Prospect or Arlington Hts). Unfortunately, I'm not suprised. Usually if I run into that MINI more than once, they wave or make contact the next time around

btw... have you tried Sheridan Rd yet ???
Spotted, PW/B MCS on Kaneville about to turn on to Fabyan Parkway in Batavia at about 7:20 ish. Paul, was this you? I was in mom's 540i so you would not have seen me.
CR/W, offset bonnet stripes heading eastbound on Rt. 12 around 4-ish (unsure of where this was). Thanks for the wave, caught it late but I think I waved back in time.
I haven't noticed any real trends in wave/no wave demographics when I'm out...

AGAIN! Friday I saw a EB/W MCS headed north on 12 right by 120...
thanks for the wave/ flash!!!
Who owns a black MC with a union jack roof decal...i think you work at the tattoo shop in libertyville on 21/ winchester?!
CR/W MCS headed west on pederson... you were behind me and i saw you trying to catch up, but some lame firebird cut you off at the r/r tracks. i waved in my heart....
BRG MC headed south on 12 in fox lake before volo/ 120. flashed my lights but no dice...
i made my BF swear that he would obey my MINI driving rules and wave or flash the lights to other MINIs while driving my car. he was reluctant, but agreed.

Today, around 6:30 pm, Meacham Road in Schaumburg north of Schaumburg Road. Drove alongside a gorgeous CR/B MCS with nice tints and some very cool wheels. Two folks inside, gave a wave and got one back! Nice ride.
