I'll have to post the picture later but Wednesday night leaving O'Hare a Mini (original) with a right hand drive. Was able to snap a pic of the driver looking at me.

Perhaps a member already? anyone....

Oh, oh I plan on it!

Listen here: my brother's boss/ landlord drives a MINI- so that's one.

There is the MINI that I think works at the rental resort my grandparents are staying at.

If you look in my gallery of a few photos, there is an OG MINI that I took when I got off the plane last May. It was just chilling in the parking lot and I took it as an omen.

And now, you may ask how did that trip turn out? well...



...we swam in caves, waterfalls, jumped off cliffs, went surfing, pinched (gently!) a turtle fin, hiked in a bamboo forest....oh i could go on and on!

I saw a blue MCS pulling out of Yorktown mall a few days ago. Looked like it had suspension, wheels, and exhaust. But I was pretty far back. Looked good though!

My brother-in-law was looking at that one but decided to keep his Z4 3.0i Sport instead.

Nice car. Congrats

Spotted my first Clubman!

A SS/B Clubman from Patrick entering I-290 E @ Austin Blvd around 7:30 this morning. I was several cars back and traffic prevented me from getting close enough to wave.
