spotted an electric blue with white top and bonnet stripes going south on Sheridan, april 12th around 10:00am.

Also, my parents told me that spotted a MINI at the local Sam's club, Main&McCormick with license plate AIRMINI or MINIAIR , they don't remember which one.

Lastly, I always see a BRG/Black at the Swedish covenant hospital parking lot. 4th floor with plate JKNMINI

well i have 3 major mods coming in...

1st mod is a 18" type of wheel and is forged..brand and type :confused::confused:
2nd mod, as stated before makes me slower faster, and comes painted silver...:confused:
3rd mod is the cf piece, as stated before..it does have a scoop and keeps the engine covered (i think i totally gave it away) :confused::confused:


anyways, I spotted a PW/B MC heading eastbound on rt. 64 in St. Charles on my way to work this morning around 6:30am. After work, I spotted a CR/W MCS w/ stripes heading westbound on rt. 64 right by Charlestown Mall. I was diving my dd, so I just stared at your car :lol:

kenchan 05-04-2005 10:29 PM
