spotted an electric blue with white top and bonnet stripes going south on Sheridan, april 12th around 10:00am.

Also, my parents told me that spotted a MINI at the local Sam's club, Main&McCormick with license plate AIRMINI or MINIAIR , they don't remember which one.

Lastly, I always see a BRG/Black at the Swedish covenant hospital parking lot. 4th floor with plate JKNMINI

well i have 3 major mods coming in...

1st mod is a 18" type of wheel and is forged..brand and type
2nd mod, as stated before makes me slower faster, and comes painted silver...
3rd mod is the cf piece, as stated before..it does have a scoop and keeps the engine covered (i think i totally gave it away)


anyways, I spotted a PW/B MC heading eastbound on rt. 64 in St. Charles on my way to work this morning around 6:30am. After work, I spotted a CR/W MCS w/ stripes heading westbound on rt. 64 right by Charlestown Mall. I was diving my dd, so I just stared at your car

1: Wrong...another forged wheel. I dont think many people know about this company, it's really big in the Bimmer market though.
2: 1/2 credit: BBK, but not Willwood
3: Bingo!
