~9am this morning PW/B MC w/black bonnet stripes just leaving Round Lake Beach post office, too far away to see a wave, also a PS\B MC w/ black bonnet stripes on Hook road near the train station in Round Lake Beach, waved but not even a twitch from the redheaded female driver.

Spotted at least 4 MC's & MCS's while on my way to and from work today. All were spotted on or near the Ike or the Ryan. Not one wave or even aknowledgement of another Mini in the immediate area. I did exchange waves with a Red Bull Mini near the North Riverside Mall. I get the feeling that waving between Mini drivers is dead.

The BRG? it appeared your passenger side parkinglight was malfucitoning. Clearly had your hands full, with traffic and the rain. I think it was about 4-4:30ish

I knew it was someone on here. The car looked too nice for someone that really didn't care about mini's.
