Met a new owner and wife of a PW/B Clubman S on 22 east bound at Milwaukee this evening. Pulled up next to me with big smiles and asked "how much do we like our cars" to which I replied more and more every day, especially after a day like today.

This evening chatted briefly with a DS R56 S owner on westbound Dundee just before 53. He was at MTTS and was one of the unfortunate ones who drove up from the zoo.

Got a big wave this morning from a lady in a CR/W MC at Rt. 22 and Rt. 41, plus a wave from a co-worker on the road in her PW/PW MC.

It's been a while since I've gotten good waves, and it is still fun when it happens!!

Classic Mini in Johnsburg this afternoon!

The most gorgeous olive green metallic...I was so captivated I didn't even wave (but smiled and almost ran myself off the road).

Saturday 9/27 I was heading south on Rt 83 in Elmhurst in my '08 MCS Yellow w/ checkerboard roof & mirrors. Spoted a '07/'08 MCS Yellow w/ Black. Waved and thumbs up.

Hey dude, nice car!

i think i saw you on higgins around 4pm one afternoon and you went down to rt 59 to jump on 90 and looked at me like why are you waving while i continued south on rt 59.

Nope, it wasn't Francis..

Also have a nightfire red/black Cooper parked in front of our house right in fron of our Cooper. I think it belongs to a Skokie police officer.

hehe.. wasn't me thats my old stomping grounds, but I don't go there unless I'm visiting my parents. I know better they're always lurking somewhere on Lincoln Ave. I can tell you all of the known speed traps in that area if anyone is interested
