I briefly spotted Kenchan in Barrington this Sunday morning about 9:30am, just east of 59 near the closed railroad crossing (friggin' construction!). I was in our Santa Fe towing my Jetski up to the Chain of Lakes driving the opposite direction, but I still think he should've recognized me and waved!

You were in the right hand lane, and I barely spotted your car amongst the traffic in the first place. I was concerned at the time about the idiot behind me putting his grill about 6 inches away from the nozzle of my Jetski, and just happened to catch a glimpse of your car (the lowered stance, stripes, and wheels tipped me off) as I glanced around. What vehicle did I miss?

My Mini has been casing MiniMac2005's house for the past couple days now. Does that count for anything? It calls me every couple hours with an update. LOL

Thanks, I truly enjoyed hanging out with everyone in the Chicago MINI club over the past year- keep up the great work!!

The drive home, well let's just say MINIs, roadtrips and me- perfect!! Top down, music up and cruise on- I stopped for the evening at the twelve hour mark; then rolled out the next morning at sunrise to complete my venture... whoo-hoo!! Take care and motor on!!
