Left a Spotter Card for an MCS SB/B within the parking structure of the Cumberland "El" Station. Had a vanity plate: "Air Boss". The license plate frame was from Patick MINI. Anyone we know?

Spotted 2 in Oak Park this morning & exchanged waves with both.
IB/B R53 w/ aero grille & bonnet stripes parked by my alley. Thanks for the wave and the thumbs up.
HO/B Cabrio SB on Ridgeland near Madison. Followed me for a couple of blocks until I had to turn off.

Saw quite a few at Patrick BMW on Sunday...
that were in for service a super cool Astro Black w/Checkered Roof and PIA racing lamps. Ummm are new cars on a lot supposed to be unlocked? There were tons of ppl on the lot on Sunday looking at the BMW One and all the Clubmans. I felt like I was a bad citizen for not going back to lock the Mini's... we saw at least 3 that were unlocked

"The Dog" (Chicago Style) is as it should be.
"The Salma Hayek" (Andouille) IS hot. She..ahem...it was all that I expected.
"The Elvis" (Polish) is spectacular!
"The Sonoran" is becoming a favorite, how can I say no to a dog wrapped with bacon?!
I'm working up the courage to do the alligator sausage.

Jughead,
Had that couple got their car at Knauz? There was a Mellow Yellow being delivered to someone when I was in there on Saturday.
I picked up my new Hot Chocolate Clubman on Friday there! Been driving it since.
Saw a yellow MCS one evening last week on Milwaukee Ave. in Gurnee. I was in my 02 DS/W MCS. I pulled up next to him and the guy wouldn't even look over. I had noticed a ND emblem as I approaced, maybe that had something to do with his attitude.

That's my normal route... actual times may vary 
If anyone gets a wave from a guy in this car:
or on this Vespa (now with USMC on front legshield):
Its me.
They get 50 and 70mpg respectively. The mini is taking a rest after the Vegas drive.
