Chicagoland MINI spottings!
#1
I thought this might make for an interesting forum since Chicagoland is so big.
This morning I was on my way to work, speeding of course because I'm ALWAYS late! I was on Ridge heading north towards Evanston Hospital when a BRG/W MINI Cooper with tinted windows pulls up in the right lane. We stop at a red light and hit it at the green. My drive to work just became a race! Weeeeeeeeee! She won because I had to slow down for the numerous bumps in the road...booooo!
The license plate had an "RN" in it. I too am an RN at Evanston. If you read this, PM me please!
Anyone else???

I saw a classic red and white Mini zipping through Evanston last weekend. I couldn't believe it and immediately thought of Charlize Theron zipping through traffic in the new Italian Job.
I've also recently realized that there are at least 7-8 MINIs within a mile radius of me including a pretty trick Pepper White/Black Cooper with some nice stripes.

From Buffalo Grove myself. I drive a lot on Lake Cook to Deerfield and fly up to Lake Forest...oh an oftne Veron Hills. OK, just about everywhere in Northern Chicago Land. Every other weekend I'm down by Plainfield to pick up my daughter (she likes the Mini but won't admit it).
I have a 2003 Pepper White/Black Top. Strips, short ant, racing lights and more.
I love my Mini.
We should get together.

It's funny really... a lot of people are upset that the velvet red is going away. But when it was around, no one wanted it. Like the silk Green. Now that you can no longer order it, everyone wants one. I agree, it's gorgeous... and was a tad more popular than the cosmos black.
I saw a Pepper white w/ Black last night in Geneva... oh yeah, it was my sisters :smile:

9.25.03 6:30pm I saw a DS/DS MCS taking up TWO MINI-SIZED PARKING SPOTS in the Old Town neighborhood around Armitage and Sheffield. It had temporary plates. Again, I was at a loss of flyers.
But dude! TWO PARKING SPACES????? Do you know how hard it is to find parking over there???? That's okay, I found one on Armitage on the next turn.

Crazy Thursday Night Sightings:
In the parking lot beneath Holmes Place/River East Theaters (Grand and Fairbanks)--Red/Red MCS with custom pinstripes and other assorted decorations including 8-***** on the doors and a cool S-logo on the hood. License plate: MINI CYY. And get this: a Chicago Yacht Club member...I know who you are now!!!
In front of the Matchbox/Silver Palm (Chicago at Ogden)--Pure Silver/Pure Silver MCS with JCW (!!!) and temporary tags (Knauz). Since it was my first JCW, I had to drop a flyer. I can't believe I don't know who it is. I haven't heard of any Chicagoans with JCWs yet. Woo hoo!!!

Spotted a BRG/W MCS with white bonnet stripes on I-94 while heading back from South Haven to Chicago. It still had temporary plates with a Bill Jacobs frame around them. Two people in the car, a guy and girl in their mid-twenties (I'm guessing)...didn't get a good look at the guy (the driver), but she was super cute! (It's OK, my wife was with me and she agreed! ) We tailed them until they exited around South Bend...
