geese are now too fat to fly and forgot how to migrate, so of course they want to drive MINIs. duuuuuuh. they're obviously out on a family test drive.
yesterday i saw a BRG/W MCS (no stripes) on 90 near the airport...
we had to drop my brother off to go back home to maui (jerk). its lonely here! who will i make breakfast burritos for? i mean, besides the geese...

Hey if anyone spots a BGR/W with two 4 inch white stripes 2 inches apart offset on the driver side front and rear that's our old Cooper. Its got the silver 5spokes cold weather, sport and premium pkgs plus the HK system. I have never spotted it on the road but my wife has once or twice.
Here's a slideshow of both (its short)
Cool idea for a thread.

Also, I noticed one across the "street" from my school. I go to the Loyola Maywood campus and there's a building in the back where I saw a blue/black MCS with blacked out headlamp surrounds and grills and no holes front plate. With those type of mods, that person has got to be here.
and yes he's around. Was on the Rock Run with us.

Saw two recently. I got a wave yesterday in the morning about 8:45am going down Howard by Gross Pointe. It was a blue MCS, but can't tell from the many blues out there, maybe Indi?

That's me, I work at the Dept. of VA Network and Security Operations Center and always go to lunch at Loyola's cafeteria. The only Mini's I see around there are the Orange MCS convertible and a Silver MC.
