Okay, so I was out in Chicago visiting a friend of mine this past weekend. We didn't get out all that much, but in the time we were wandering her neighborhood (and an adjoining one) I counted 5 MINIs in 2 days! Your town is crawling with them!
Were any of these you (these are just the ones I can remember!)?
CR/W w/ white stripes in Lincoln Square, ~9:30-10 :00 PM on Friday
CR/W in Lincoln Square, ~11:00 Saturday morning
SB/S in Andersonville, ~10:15-10:30 Sunday morning
I waved, but probably looked very silly as I wasn't even in a car, let alone a MINI.

Just in case you are motoring tomorrow...
I will be leaving the house @ 8:00-ish and driving down 47/88/355/53 to Patrick. I hope that someone spots me!!! I cleaned my car this morning, even did some clay work on it!!! Look for the boring HB/W with no graphics!!!
I saw a mini cooper convertible at 5:10 pm today at the corner of Washington and Canal downtown. It had a can that was between 5 and 6 feet tall in the back seat that was painted either the colors of a beer can or one of those high caffeine drinks. The car was painted the same colors. The first mini I have seen in weeks and this one is a rolling commercial!

Sounds like the Red Bull MINI. Silver and blue, right?
Sighting:
Parked next to a silver MCS yesterday at Ritzi's on Algonquin. Is it nerdy to park next to another MINI when you see one? Do I care? (probably not)
I'm thinking Blake is referring to "clay bar". I just don't have the patience to do that myself. Maybe I'll have to find someone to do that for me before the first snow
i didn't spot blockh, but i spotted a purple MC cabrio going down Dundee (east bound)
in Barrington today around 10am in the wooded area. lady driver, dark hair.

Just get a shaded area, and a spot where its warm enough
I just detailed mine, the clay was at the end of last moth, this was a luck break in the weather to get things all cleaned up again. And BTW since Pearls clean, anyone want to have a meet now before she gets dirty again?
I've got a bunch of spottigns in the past two days, I'll have to complie a list and upload a few photos before I post it though.
