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!

 

I always thought that Romeoville was a silly name. I picture lots of long haired men in velvet capes wooing the ladies of the town.

 

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 =)

 

I got a wave!

Black Mini eastbound on Rand at River.

 

Yeah I'm right near you guys and both of your cars look nice. It would be nice to see them on the road!

 

15:49 Roselle and the Elgin O'Hare HB/B R53 with the Cooper S graphic, thanks for the wave.

 

I have been meaning to ask you what you did to black out your chrome. That ish look TOO right!

 

combo of paint and vinyl depending on the part

 

I have only lived here a month and where I come from it is almost law you have to wave. Now sadly after to many unanswered waves I have almost stopped. Come on Chicago help a brother out and wave back.

 

hey jeffc2! welcome to the area. we have a few g2g coming up so you can get to meet the locals http://chicagominiclub.com/

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.

 

anyone down for a cruise on saturday? let me know. around schaumburg area. im gunna be out there and seeing if anyone wants to meet up for lunch and such. around 12pm 1pm. let me know. its supposed to be nice in the afternoon!!

 

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!

 

Got a beep and a wave from a guy in a sharp looking Hot Chocolate Clubman S on Lake Cook this afternoon!!

 

Might want to throw up a new thread in this forum to get a little more attention...which roads were you thinking about hitting?

 

IB? Or OB? How giant was the Cubs logo? This may have been me

ETA: NEvermind. Wasn't me- just saw this was on a Monday morning.....

 

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

 

Exchanged waves with the driver of a blue cabrio in Evanston on Sheridan Rd. this morning.

 

Spotted yesterday at Clark and Wellington:

 

I saw a white/black classic today on Rt. 120 near Rt. 83 (I think) while I was out motorcycling.

I was a bit freaked out when I saw a 10 year old driver till I realized it was a right-hand drive car.

 

Spotted:

DanC on wb Golf Rd near 83 around 5:30pm. thanks for the wave are you coming out for Superdawg???

also spotted DS/B MCS wb Golf Rd at Greenwood at 5:45pm, thanks for the wave

 

Red Cooper S near the Morton Grove Metra Station.

Thanks for the wave, and nice car!

 

Spotted a BRG/B MINI pulled over on Lincoln avenue in Lincolnwood just past the police/fire station this afternoon. He didn't look very happy

 

I Live Off New york by lake st. So you prob will see my pepper white mini. Blacked out front end..
