Saw a dark grey mini with a black top, brand new, had temporary plates, was going north on Wacker Dr. at 8:30 am this past Monday morning. Looked great, but I love dark grey mini's!

Hey everyone. It is a sad day yet a very good day today. I am being packed out for my move to germany. Good news is I am going to germany. Bad news is they are taking my car today to send it over there so I will be without it. So be lookin for my MINI as pictured below on a flat bed truck heading from Ottawa to Naperville between 1230 and 130 today (the 2nd). Say bye if you want I am sure she will appreciate it.

Not this time... this one has a passenger (who I saw again today.. no wave..) and regular mirror caps.

I have seen you before, just not recently because I start later in the mornings... maybe next time
