Superdawg and the Cul de sacs of Vernon Hills 09/20

MINIs will be back at Superdawg on a prime time Saturday night!!

WRAPUP: Super Superdawg Saturday!!

We had about 30 MINIs participating in a fun drive thru the Cul De Sacs of Vernon Hills ending at Superdawg. The rain held out until about 1/2 way thru the drive and then cleared after we arrived.

We had a few first-timers, and lots of old friends. The long distance award goes to Phyllis and Lee coming in from Tennessee.

A great evening hanging out and visiting with everyone!

Ice Cream Drive 7/19

WRAPUP:

The afternoon started wet but everything dried out before we departed. We had 9 MINIs out for the drive, which is a nice size to keep everyone together. There were a couple first timers and the rest have been on prior drives. A fun cruise thru North Aurora and Sugar Grove back roads and a stop for some yummy Ice Cream.

Thanks to Mark H. for creating the rallista routing and to everyone who came out for the drive!

Sheridan Road drive 06/14

Wrapup: Beautiful weather made for a great event.. We had 22 MINIs in attendance including many long-timers and a few first-timers from as far north as Milwaukee, South-west from Morris, and Mr. RCH drove in from Philadelphia PA.

We took a nice wandering drive up Sheridan Road for an ending with a late lunch at Mia’s Diner in North Chicago.

A large pothole on Edens injured a couple cars on the way to the event, but MINI of Glencoe North Shore was able to get Tom’s tire replaced in time for him to meet us at the ending location.

Huge thanks to MINI of Glencoe for hosting the starting location and Mia’s Pancake house for our lunch stop.
