Yesterday, I spotted a very sweet Classic Cooper heading Northbound on LSD near the Museum of Science & Industry. Indy Blue is probably the closest color. Car had full wheel flares and very nice polished wheels. Don't ask me how they got three people stuffed inside. There aren't many cars that make an MCS feel big. We exchanged waves. then I lost him in traffic.

Ok Chicago MINIs !!! Ken's MCS is posted for all to see. AND it's quite purty

Looks like the voting won't start until the end of the month. Once it's open, I'll repost so we can vote, vote, VOTE for Ken

Spotted a Red and White roof Classic Mini @ 6ish on the corner of Algonquin and Arlington Heights; very good condition, sounded great, I almost turned to chase you down so I could listen to your engine,however I know that the Classics can move just as quickly as our MINIs!

BTW that corner seems really good for spotting red MINI/Minis

geez! I spotted about nine or ten MINIs on the way home today. All east bound on Golf between 6 and 7pm. LY/W, HB/W, DS/B, CR/W and the rest were a blur. Oh, and the blue fishy too. no waves though as I wasn't in my MINI.
