MTTS transporter to Portland?
A few people are interested in transporting their MINIs out to Portland for the start of MINI Takes the States 2018.
Club members Keith and Kim have looked into options from a few carriers.. Best prices they could find are about $1000 for a single car, and about $900 each for a carrier-full. Please add a comment if you are interested in joining in on this “group buy” or send an email to steve@chicagominiclub.com

Indiana Dunes Drive 3/24
We will be joining up with the Northwest Indiana MINIacs and the MINI Car Club of Indiana at the Indiana Dunes Recreation area on March 24th.
WRAPUP: It was a chilly day, but we missed the expected snow storms.. The Chicagoland group met up at Club member Juan S shop, Frankies Window tinting and got to watch a bit of their tinting work in action. We headed off in a 20 MINI caravan out to Indiana, where we met up with an additional 20 or so MINIs from the Fort Wayne club and the Northwest Indiana MINIacs. Chunky Taco food truck served up some delicious grub, and the Dunes Visitors Center opened their doors to give us a warm inside space to eat and visit.
Thanks to Matt M. for organizing the Dunes get-together, and Juan S. for hosting the starting location!!

Chicago Auto Show Media Preview Day 2018
Our good friends at MINIUSA were able to arrange for a limited number of passes to attend the Chicago Auto Show media preview day on Friday February 9th.
A great opportunity to experience one of the countries largest shows before it opens to the general public.
WRAPUP: A very snowy day kept the sparse crowds even quieter. All the better opportunity to get more 1 on 1 times with the cars and the rides. Huge thanks to MINIUSA for making these tickets available to our club!
