Hello all! I just got my MINI in January and have received and given quite a few waves. I live in St Charles and commute to Romeoville most every day. Just yesterday I got a wave from someone in a silver Mini that was lowered on Ogden near the Bill Jacobs MINI dealership. For those of you that travel Randall Rd maybe I'll catch you on the weekend sometime!
I say long live the wave!
Haha, thankfully nothing close to that. The funny thing is it's right next to Joliet so you have Romeo and Joliet.
It's a 45-50 minute commute though so seeing another MINI is always nice! Especially if you get a wave
We'll have to keep an eye out for you Huckleberry. We are in Bartlett and have two. Eric (AllBlack05S) is my hubby - his plate is DCS OFF and I'm NO CROME. His had a single red stripe, mine has flat black stripes up the center =)

Yeah I'm right near you guys and both of your cars look nice. It would be nice to see them on the road!
I have been meaning to ask you what you did to black out your chrome. That ish look TOO right!

I hear you though about the non-wavers. I used to post here alot. but sadly, the waves are few and far between. I spotted 4 MINIs on the way home today and didn't get anything. actually, one MINI I see almost everyday.. not a single wave ever. do biggie.. I still try.

I've been aching for a drive! Saturday sounds fun - I'm down for that, but let's keep an eye on the weather. (I hear we might be getting some rain...could make for slick roads.)
i know i thought that it wasnt supposed to rain till later in the day. either way. first little gathering in somewhat decent weather at least there is no snow in the forecast!

Might want to throw up a new thread in this forum to get a little more attention...which roads were you thinking about hitting?
Sunday was a bizarre day! My husband told me that morning that he saw an OB/B (w/ stripes) in Schaumburg the night before.
Then I passed an OB/W (w/stripes) on 75th. I was heading east and they were heading west. I waved and the female in the passenger seat waved back!
THEN later that day, I pulled into the Dominicks at New York and Eola and there was an OB/B (no stripes) so of course I had to park next to it When I came out, they were gone.
THREE spotted in basically a day's time!!!! Never had that before
I Live Off New york by lake st. So you prob will see my pepper white mini. Blacked out front end..
