Spotted chequedmini's old CR/B MC with checkered stripes heading north on Edens today.. Shot her an e-mail letting her know I saw her old car and it turns out she also saw it today in Highland park
6/21 - CR MCS at Home Depot in Round Lake Beach - Two guys attaching a 4'x8' sheet of dry wall to the roof, broken in half.
Today
1:45pm on 22(Half Day Road) West of 94
DS/B MCS with Black S-Lites and an SCCA emblem - thanks for the wave
JB/B MCS ended up turning off of 22 and then got back on 22 by the Comfort Inn
Spotted 2 others but did not get a good look. One turned south on to 21 from 22 and the other turned from 22 onto Old Half Day road.

Spotted a few coming home from Six Flags yesterday... all between 3-4pm along Rte 21:
- MY/MY MC - sb rte 21 turning eb to 137
- JB/W MCS - nb Rte 21 b4 176
- PW/B MCS - nb Rte 21 after 176
- PW/PW MC - sb Rte 21.. you were behind me approaching Euclid
nope, not me...i have yet to be spotted. i think its because i blend in with the pavement stealth mode style!
i do have a grille badge though...slow traffic, move right....if only people could see it in their rvm.
I looked over the first time I passed you on the right, but you didn't look over, but glad I got a chance to exchange the wave. I have waved so many times to no avail... glad it was a reciprocated one!We did have a nice 3 MINI convoy going there for a bit. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
I think we just mistimed our looks. The return wave was nice, thanks. There are too many times where waves are not returned. Perhaps a course in MINI etiquette should be required prior to taking delivery.
I think the guy in front of me forgot where he was going. He turned in by the hotel and then made a u-turn back to 22. I work in one of the office buildings back there.

Tailed by a CR MCSC for a mile or two in Evanston today around 1-ish. Pulled up alongside at a light but the driver was engaged in social activity with her passengers, so no pleasantries exchanged.
Are you sure that you didn't Photoshop the other car in there???? 
A rare sighting indeed. Finding ONE Oxy Blue on the street is tough enough, but two in the same place?!?!?!?!?
They look great, though!
