Spotted a very nice Black JCW R56 MCS on Saturday July 5th in Evanston. JCW kit, OZ rims, black(jcw?) side scuttles. Very nice looking MINI, parked in front of me on Chicago street.

Today spotted and chatted with a club member in an IB/B MCS between Schaumburg Rd and Motorola Dr on Meacham.
Spotted:
• LY/W MC Westbound on Euclid about 9:50 a.m. at Arlington Park
• CR/W MC Westbound on Euclid about 9:55 a.m. at NW Highway
• CR/B MCS waiting to turn East on Euclid around Gibbons or Forest about 10
• IB/B MCS turning North onto Patriot Blvd from Lehigh around 8:15p.m.
I was on the Vespa so no waves back from the thumbs up given.

We should all coordinate our schedules so that we can spot each other.

I saw a few MINIs out there today. If you were driving a Cool Blue cabrio westbound on Rt. 176 today, I only spotted you right as you were passing me. Same if you were driving a (black, I think) R56 MCS west on Rt. 60 (I think). I did catch a CR/W with the UJ roof on Sheridan Rd. in Evanston, thanks for the wave-back...

Red Bull MINIs?
Did anyone else see the 2 Red Bull promotional MINIs yesterday? We were on Golf and had just past Patrick MINI when I spotted 2 big cans of Red Bull on the roof of 2 Lightning Blue MINIs! We could not catch up to them but they were heading towards the city.

I saw one of the Red Bull MINI's on 290 while heading south from Schaumburg yesterday afternoon about 2:45. It was going the other way.
I was in my 02 DS/W MCS. That later in overheated. :(

Honestly, it's pretty hard to catch waves in city traffic even if you wanted to. Too much to pay attention to that's more important.

I would have chased you down for a wave Xiek but I hardly ever get into the city proper anymore.
