All,

If anyone is interested in making this more than just a social gathering and want some kind of focus to one of these gatherings, let me know. I am very open to suggestions.

Will try to make it I need to focus on a chili cheese dog.
Weds I’m supposed to work late but might change my schedule.
Might be on the Vespa or in the Golf. Maybe in the Mrs’ Mini if I can get her to join.

Anybody in for tonight?

It only sounds like a small handfull of people will make it.

Weeknights are much tougher for me to make events..

Last night we had 8 cars and 9 attendees. Unexpectedly Brandon, a new manager for MINI USA, stopped in and we asked him to join us. He is new to the Chicago area and decided to stop by Portillios.

We hope to see more of Brandon, who has quickly become a MINI enthusiast, as well as other members of the official MINI family, both corporate and from the dealer network.

We had a great time Wednesday night. Good to see everyone who came out for the next-to-last Portillo’s gathering of the year. Our last meetup will be 9/3.

Until then happy motoring!
