The '07 is a rare breed in Wisconsin. Consider yourself lucky to have seen one.

Followed an '05 ('06?) DS/B MCSC on the Eisenhower from the Austin entrance to the Ryan. With the limited visibility out the back of a Cabrio, I doubt if the driver noticed she was being followed by another Mini.

LY/B MC always in the parking lot of one of the only strip malls on 12- next Industrial Dr... I think you work at the mortgage place?!

Today:
CR MCS Cabrio chillin next to Inca's in Long Grove

CR/W MC headed east on Old McHenry...Long Grove/ Hawthorne Woods


...why no love?! I stick my arm sooooo far out the window and wave or throw down a shaka...and no dice! come on!
