I got a wave from a black/black Cooper at 22 and 41 on the way home from work today!!

 

Today was Blue Mini Wednesday. I drove up Milwaukee to Saunders with a B/MCS White Male no wave or look over even. Another B/MC pulling out of business on Saunders, no wave. B/MCS pulling into Mcdonalds off of Milwaukee south bound. Weather is getting warm and the cars are coming out.

 

1520 I355 20 onramp to 290 split PS/B MCS; on cell phone you were a speck in my mirror by the time I waved (out down the phone pick up the pace and enjoy the ride)

Anyone on NAM in a blue MINI in the shaumburg area today?

An EB/B MCS in Crystal lake

@1:15 at SuperDawg in the city . A half hearted wave from a JB/B MC pulling out while I was pulling in.

 

half hearted wave?! that's so weak.

when i wave, its like my whole body flails around, restrained only by the seat belt... "whoooa, a MINI! heeeeeeeeeeey! hi!"

so yes, half hearted waves are weak sauce.

I'm starting to believe our Element is a MINI magnet Today, I spotted at least 12 MINIs. 4 on the way down to the Shedd... another 4-5 on the way back home.. and another 4-5 going to and from dinner near Old Orchard.

Who's the CR/W MCS with white viper stripes and dark/black rims??? I spotted you on Glenview Rd before the Edens overpass at 6:15pm??? very nice

 

Quite possibly me...i was definitely out and about around then, but i dont really remember being around there...but anyway, if i didnt wave that means i didnt see you. If i see a MINI i wave, quite enthusiastically i might add.

Im always driving around Park Ridge and the neighboring suburbs, so see ya around

 

I really need to start driving the MCC on the weekends

Spotted today:

• CR/W MCS and IB/W MCS @ 2pm - Corner of Golf Rd/Shermer - then DS/B MCS parked in front of The Works on Golf Rd/Washington a few minutes later
• BRG/W MCS and LY/W MC @ 3:30pm - Corner of Willow Rd/Waukegan Rd
• CR/W MC? @ 4pm - Harlem Ave (before Golf Rd)

no waves 'cuz I was in the MINI magnet again

 

I saw amybe 15-20 MINIs off the Dealer lot toda, add those and that makes it a nice even 50 have a bunch of photos might post a few.
