Monday Morning MINI Madness.
Hit the 120 on ramp to the Toll going south at 1030am today to find a white MINI from MN, then got passed by a black S cab from WI, driven by a Cougar
The Cougar and I drove together south till I hit 88 west.
Along the way, not one, but two yellow MINIs north, then a blue one, and then a silver one. Hit the parking lot and found two more all before 1130am.

@8am CR MCS Cabrio w/ white bonnet stripes on 83 in Lake Villa, a little closer and we could have high-fived
@810am PW/B MCS on 137 by the dump. Couldn't tell if I got a wave back or not.
Of course I saw 5 or 6 yesterday while I was driving the loaner between Grayslake and Lincolnshire, so no waves.
