October Sightings.

You know the routine...

Tell us the approximate time and location you see a MINI on the roads of NW Indiana. Also tell us color MC or MCS and direction of travel.

Saw the light blue MCS Specific color with white roof today at Dogwood park, in Chesterton. Then I saw MIB at my soon to be Ex-inlaws.

MrsDiff and I will be divorcing soon and I gave her MIB as it still has factory warrenty. I took the 1993 minivan as it has 170,000+ miles and has broken down on her a number of times. She has our sons, KidDiff1 and KidDiff2.

okay, first of all there arnt' too many MINI's in South Bend, and as i have discovered even LESS friendly MINI's. i was at a stop light right next to a green MINI, side by side... couldn't have been more in your face, and the lady never evey looked at me. i was going to offer a warm smile and a friendly wave... i have a nice smile now come on!! but nothing. then she smoked me at the green light. HAD I KNOWN IT WAS A RACE... i would have kicked her A** since i had the S!!! oh well.. live n learn. i'm over it.

life is short. SMILE

oh sorry i was too upset to follow the rules. it was a Green MC traveling North at the intersection of Grape and University Commons. the time was 3pm. Possibly had white bonnet stripes. but like i said she smoked me at the light so i never got to see the front. Grrrrr

SIDE NOTE: later that night 7pm (same intersection) i saw a PW MCS with Black Bonnet stripes and Xenon head lights (it's getting dark early, winter is coming!!!) heading West on University Commons. WOW two in one night.
