8:30am MCS HB/B eastbound on Lawrence by Oketo in Harwood Heights
9:30am MCS CR/W in the NBC Tower underground parking
4:00pm MCS AB/AB northbound on LaSalle by Illinois
Hard to get a wave when you're not in your own MINI, let alone a pedestrian!
6:00pm MCS PW/B parked in a surface lot on the SW corner of LaSalle and Illinois

6/21 - CR MCS at Home Depot in Round Lake Beach - Two guys attaching a 4'x8' sheet of dry wall to the roof, broken in half.
Today
1:45pm on 22(Half Day Road) West of 94
DS/B MCS with Black S-Lites and an SCCA emblem - thanks for the wave
JB/B MCS ended up turning off of 22 and then got back on 22 by the Comfort Inn
Spotted 2 others but did not get a good look. One turned south on to 21 from 22 and the other turned from 22 onto Old Half Day road.

We did have a nice 3 MINI convoy going there for a bit. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

I think we just mistimed our looks. The return wave was nice, thanks. There are too many times where waves are not returned. Perhaps a course in MINI etiquette should be required prior to taking delivery.
I think the guy in front of me forgot where he was going. He turned in by the hotel and then made a u-turn back to 22. I work in one of the office buildings back there.
