Does anyone carry a FSR radio with them? I remember when I was waiting for my '09 Clubman to arrive I saw a thread that said the unofficial MINI frequency was 7-21. After I got my car, I left a radio in there and tuned. I'd try putting out calls occasionally, but never got any responses.
Just thought I'd mention it. If anyone responds to this, I'll start turning it on again. Just thought it's a cool way to actually say "Hi!" when you drive by.
I'll be in a Mellow Yellow just-a-Clubman with a black roof and C-pillars and white bonnet stripes.

At about 11:20am today, I was on Roselle Rd. in Schaumburg, north of Golf Rd. and something caught my eye. I saw what looked like a Mini across the street, but wait........those are the bumper air intakes for the 2011!.......It looks a little big.........I just saw a CR/B Countryman S!! As we drove past each other, I gave a good 5 honks and waved. He honestly looked like he was just caught, or in trouble. I'm guessing the car came from Patrick Mini right down the road and this is going to be the Countryman revealed at MTTS.
It honestly looks better in person than in pictures. I don't know if I'd buy one, but I'd welcome it to the Mini family.

See lots of MINIs every day, but it has been a long time since I've gotten a wave back..
Good news.. Got a big wave from a CR/W MC on Lake Cook and Skokie Blvd while waiting for a light to change..
Not as good news.. A Yellow/Black MC non-waver was sitting directly behind me when I got that wave.

Wave on the Edens
awww - if I saw you I would have sent a little honk or wave! however the windows are a really dark tint. i am on the road early Kennedy out to Edens, Edens to Lake Cook; and its always dark on the way in (and home for that matter) so I normally cant see who is behind me.
I love this car!! In the 1 month of owning my Mini; I now notice how many Chicago mini's there are on the road...., but everyone looks so pissed off! I'm such a dork with my ever-ready friendly smile!
