Chicago Area MINIers

[poops]

Fellas & Ladies,

I picked up my MCS last week. I've been riding the hell out of it. Screw the break-in period; I'm driving it like I stole it.

Anyway, I was wondering what the Chicago area make-up of this list is.

It'd be cool to have other folks in Chi-Town to ride with. I live in the city and can travel pretty anywhere in the area to meet other MINIers.

Ping me y'all.

I'm in the Chi-town area. Where'd you get yours? BTW, Congrats!

[poops]

Got it from Bill Jacobs MotorSport in Naperville. Nice peeps.

Do you have one? If so where did you get yours from?

Greets.

Andrew at Bill Jacobs is working on getting mine delivered. Unfortunately, it's 30 days past its delivery date. This delay is killing me, but I realize it's not the dealership. They've been good to me except for this delay.

There are a few others on here from the area.

Greets back,

I dealt mostly with Rachel. She was cool.

They had a few MC's there with Aero Kits. Damn, they looked absolutely HOT!!!

They also had an EB MCS with the AERO Kit and 18" wheels that was already sold. I was salivating all over it.

I don't have one yet, I'm still deciding whether or not I want one. One of my best friends works at Patrick BMW/ Mini, and I see him there often, so its almost, kinda like owning one since I see them all the time. I just wish the S had more power and I don't like the design of the center dash area, I just can't get comfortable in one. Otherwise, I love them, other than an Integra Type-R, it must be the best handling front drive car out there.

Did they mention if the other vehicles were sold? I'm guessing all the vehicles they have are spoken for.

[Moriarty]

I think that Patrick Mini has some S's available, though they look to be bare bones models.

Mine is due at Patrick in about 4 weeks. I live in Naper but was not impressed with Jacobs. Although they are 4 minutes from my home, and Patrick is about 35, I prefer the trek to Shaumburg. The guys at Patrick have been great. MSRP and no goofy add ons.

Yeah, I live here in the City too. Im up in Lincoln Square. Although I do not have my MCS yet, I expect it in a few days. The funny thing is there is already someone in my hood with a MINI, so I won't be the first however I got to talking to her (cute!) about the MINI so all is well!

BTW Im gettin mine at Knauz.

Hi Poops,

I live in Chicago (Oak Park actually) and have had my DS/Black Cooper S for about 2 weeks now. I usually drive it to work (downtown Chicago) and have not seen another Cooper S yet. Bought mine at Patrick MINI--really good people to do business with. It's weird but---People just LOVE THIS CAR! No problem at all getting together for a Cooper fest.......

I'm in Bucktown (neighborhood in Chicago).
