It's pure luck of the draw if you see me, really. I don't always go to the office, and I take different routes all the time, as every good spy does.

i was sitting next to you (looking over) in the left turn lane in my silver G35C,
but you were busy on the phone with your mom (?). jk

HAHAHAHA that's good!!

btw... for those who traverse Golf Rd eb... stay out of the right lane east of OCC and b4 294 (right after the train bridge)... really big pot holes... good for SUV's.. bad for MINIs.

There are 3 CR/W MINIs lined up in the work parking lot today in Bannockburn. Wish I had a camera with me.
All are already Chicago MINI Motoring Club members!!

I also got a wave this morning from a lady in a blue convertible (cruising in sunroof mode) on Rt. 22 near Rt. 41

I go every once in awhile I work just on the otherside of 90, so having lunch there is convenient. They used to have a neat store that sold all sorts of Japanese toys. I think it closed a few years ago

Saw a DG/B MCS on Aurora Rd and 59 at about 4 on Friday. I would have honked but I was getting a ride to the airport in my sisters taurus. Sadly that will be my last chicagoland spotting. until I visit in about a year. Take care everyone and keep on motoring. Look for a Stuttgart spottings blog once I get my mini back from shipping lol.

Actually they moved out of there and now located at the SW corner

1015pm last night @ 83 & 22 PS/B MC got a wave, though tenatively (it is normal for other MINI drivers to wave to each other)

9am @ 45 & Grand in Gurnee CR/B MC , waved not sure if it was returned since I turned and was running late.
