Well... I saw this Mini all day and night yesterday but I did see it after midnight so I am gonna make it an August sighting...

CR/WHT MCS driven by a 16y.o. who didn't know a THING about Mini history or the driving community. He didn't even know half the great things about his car.... he only knew it was new and fast Spoiled brat! Makes me sick that I work a fulltime job that kicks my be-hind sometimes and he gets one simply b.c daddy can afford it

It's been MINI's on parade this week in my neck of the woods. Normally I'm lucky if I see 1 in a week. Yesterday there was a BRG/B MC on Exchange in Crete IL, A LY/W MCS on Steger Road in Sauk Village IL, and I played tag on the way home from Costco in Merrillville with a LY MC with black bonnet stripes. All drivers waved!

Today, I saw a Cool Blue MCC in University park IL where we work. The driver traded compliments with us at a stoplight. And later we saw a CR/B MC parked at a city park in Munster IN.

Looks like folks up here are starting to catch on....

Sunday

Hey TENCAN

Was that you guys I saw Sunday morning about 7:30 on 67 just East of I69? I was still half asleep, and didn't see the Mini till it was almost past me. I had to leave home at 6:00 to meet students up there to go diving.

Mike

First MINI sighting in a while. A LY/W cruising through campus by the Stadium at 9:50 this morning. Would have waved but didn't notice it until it passed.

Tuesday I saw a Blue/W MCS 2:45 pm at the outpatient offices in Danville. Saw a guy in the drivers seat and said, " I love your Mini!" He replied, "Thanks"

Later that day 6:12-ish I think I saw Boiler Up & Pete going north on Dan Jones at the light for hwy 36 It was a Gold/B MC with black Stripes.

Yesterday I went to D&R and saw a Whole lot of them and a BRG/B snagged my eye!

There is a BRG/W MC parked right outside my apartment right now. He/she is probably moving in for the school year. I'm gonna see if I can meet them.

Yesterday, I saw a 2005 DS/B MCS with black stripes on Bluff Rd. by the I465 went north. He flashed the head light with a nice wave to me. Beautiful...

Two from yesterday I forgot to post that I saw on Purdue Campus:

DS/Blk MCS parked outside the Ford (stadium) dining court.

A PW MC turned off of 26th and into the parking lot behind Smith.

The DS/Blk was probably my PS/Blk MCS. I was over at Cary visiting a friend of mine.

DS/B MCS on North I-465 right before the Keystone exit. I pull right behind him and he waved hand to me. Good, clean, and nice looking MINI.
