Return to Millie's Wrapup
Sections: Uncategorized Mar 20th, 2005
We had over 30 cars brave the slightly chilly early spring tempratures and headed out for the drive. After a bit of a slow start, we got on to some fun back country roads, and re-visited Snake Road, and the “roller coaster” (Alden) road. Millie's did a great job accomodating our larger and later than expected crowd. We even spied a “skunk works” group of Scions doing product testing on Snake road (I could have sworn I heard a supercharger wail comming out of an xB).
I hope everyone had as good a time as I did. Thanks to the people at Patrick MINI for doing the filming. If anyone has photos or albums from the ride, send them along to me, and I will see if I can post a few.

I've been looking forward to my first drive with the club and I was not disappointed. It was amazing to see all the MINIs. I noticed we got a lot of thumbs up and honks from other drivers. Thanks to Steve and the others that put this drive together. My family and I had a great time on the drive and enjoyed talking with other MINI enthusiasts. I can't wait for the next event!!

Big thanks to you Steve for doing a great job leading the pack, and everyone that helped made the drive a blast!
This was my first event, and it was worth the wait..!
Thanks again,

I was the xB bringing up the rear of the scions coming the opposite direction. It was great to see all those minis coming down the opposite way! I didn't get a great look at many of them due to the situation, but I liked the blue one with the offset white stripe. Anyway, perhaps we can meet up with you guys for real sometime

Nice to see some other small cars enjoying the fine roads of southern Wisconsin!
Do you guys have an official Scion club in Chicago?

Great job with the drive Steve! We made Snake Road just fine, like last year - no reason to worry.
I sent my pics to Gabe just a minute ago.
Let's do Millie's again soon rather than another two years.
