Anyone Else in Chicagoland have a Convertible? I just got my Hot Orange with Black Stripes Convertible and have yet to see another convertibles around Chicago. I would love to find out what other Convertible owners think?

 

I see a hyperblue one on RoselleRd going south in the morning around 8:15am near Higgins. :smile:

 

i've seen maybe two. Not many for some reason.

 

There are at least 3 http://www.chicagominiclub.com/ club members with convertibles, and I see one or two a week in the northern suburbs.

Come on out for a drive Sunday http://www.chicagominiclub.com/2005/...arch_20th.html and you may get a chance to hook up with other droptop MINI's.

 

I've got a Chili Red S Convertible and I Love it. Had to have the top down yesterday. I'll be attending the drive on Sunday.

 

Well, not quite Chicagoland and not yet a MINI Cabrio, but it's on order and hopefully will be at Bill Jacobs, Naperville early in May. I'm in downstate Bloomington/Normal but come up quite often to Chicago (and probably more often once I have my MINI!!!)If you see a BRG with cordoba leather Int and web spokes that may be me! Don't know if it would be worth it to join the Chicago MINI Motoring Club because I wouldn't be able to make many of the events. But I'm thinking about it!

 

The cordoba beige will look great with BRG. You'll also love the web spokes. They look much better in person than on the configurator. I saw a BRG convertible last weekend in Northbrook. The guy had the top down and was obviously enjoying the ride.

 

I'm on the Northside with a convertible CR/B named Isabella. I'll be at the Millie's ride on Sunday!!


See you all then! Can't wait to see other convertibles!

Unfortunatly, I am out of town on the 20th and cant show off my convertible at the drive. Hopefully i can make it to the next one!

On a side note, My baby is taking her first long distance trip. My better half is driving her down to Flordia for a week. I know, Chicago to Florida is a long trip when she only has 2500 mile now. Wish her luck!

 

have fun at the drive! Let us know how that Snake Rd is.

 

Snake road was a blast, although a bit sandy around the turns.

the weekends.
