Chicagoland MINI spottings!
#1601
........i "Really" wish i knew the color (blue, red, sparkling, etc) that went along with each of these codes. i live in Algonquin and wonder sometimes if i have been refered to in this post. i wave whenever i see a mini and there are many mini's in the Algonquin, Lake In The Hills, & St. Charles area. i need help
On the other hand, maybe I have seen you and you have seen me. I have generally not posted here much and especially lately.
So you can look for and EB/W MCS (Electric Blue with White roof MINI Cooper S) with black bonnet stripes and Union Jack mirrors and I'll look for you. What color combo is yours? I'll start posting my sightings in the area.

Now that I am working from home. I rarely spot as much as I use to. On the other hand I am spending less on gas so I feel less guilty when motoring around on the weekends.
Anyway, MiniMac2005, if you really want that pic of the Smart Car. When I was working in Park Ridge, I saw it almost on a daily basis parked on Manor Lane, between Northwest Hwy and Potter Rd. Is part of that triangle-shaped block.
Happy Hunting...

Thanks for the info toastie not that I want to stalk the little car... a candid shot was what I was aiming for.
This was the first time I've seen one on the road up here. One of the rear tail lights were out (don't ask...)
I don't go by that way much unless I'm going to your place... or my Mom's for that matter I've seen MINIs there and at the one on Lincoln near Devon. I've yet to see and Elise there
hey... I've got pics of my MCC next to a Smart Car. It does look huge next to them... maybe I'll try to spot it over the weekend...

I think it was 11 I spotted today. Driving from just W. of Damen on Webster, E. over to Halsted, N. on Halsted to where it hits Clark, and home again on the same route. I saw 3 blue ones (two laser/w I think, one Lightning/b I think) 2 different red colors, Cream, BRG, Black and a gold one. One of the blues had license smurfft (I think) and the darker red was parked just around the corner from my house. Later on in the evening, walking S. of Damen and then down Milwaukee, we saw two more (not sure of colors, one was black/black). I think I need to stop counting, there are too many!
