Hey True Joy... did you go to Patrick this afternoon??? If so, I spotted you on wb Golf Rd in front of Woodfield around 3:30pm...

I was going home already and didn't want to turn around to go back. I must have arrived too early since the event wasn't very organized when I arrived and I spent 30 minutes walking around and no one bothered to say anything to me the new garage area looks like Knauz and was very nice. The Clubmans looked nice too.

That was ME! Sorry I missed ya! Scream louder, wave bigger, or flash sexier! I will always reciprocate, if not initiate.

Anyway you are right, I found many people wandering around. I somehow got distracted and missed the entry I typically go to and entered the westernmost entrance. The mistake proved lucky because a MINI employee asked me if I was there for the Clubman Event and directed me way to the back of the dealership. On my way out, I drove over to the BMW parts dept. and still found people trying to figure out where to go for the event. So yeah, a bit chaotic.

See ya at the Spring Drive!

Today around 12:15 EB on 90 caught up with a CR MCSC with the Mini Fini sportlink just before the Rte. 53 exit. Pulled along side but the driver was on the phone and didn't notice me. I had to exit at 53.

For anyone who drives this route if you see me and I don't flash or wave sorry:

An excellent nature show last night and still fun to look at. For those who missed it, 2010 will be the next one.

Also spotted a PW/B MC on rt. 34 near Jacobs around 12:30 yesterday.

Just wondering if there is anyone here from one of these towns, or real close to it. Or am I the only one? Just trying to find more Mini's

I saw a CR/CR MCS at Wolf and Paletine yesterday and got a wave back. First one in a long time. See a LY/W MCS everyday and we exchange gestures. I live where he works and I work in the direction of where he lives.... I am guessing.
