Who likes Ice Cream?
Enjoy a short drive with a yummy ending!
WRAPUP: The weather was cold, but the roads were hot!! After a drizzly start, 50+ MINIs took off for some backroad adventure in the Kettle Moraine area. The sun came out and the roads cleared up for the second half of the drive as we sampled some of lower Wisconsin’s finest twisty roads. We had people attend from as far away as Madison amd Michigan. Lots of first-timers and a great mix of Milwaukee and Chicago club members. Huge thanks to Beth and Craig for planning this event!!

The Windy City BMW club has offered Chicago MINI Motoring Club members the chance to participate in their 18th annual Car Control Clinic on Saturday April 20th.
This is a fantastic opportunity to safely explore and understand the limits of your car and have a bunch of fun while doing it. A perfect class for a younger person or someone who has not yet had a chance to feel anti-lock brakes, practice skid control and correction and emergency lane change maneuvers.
The Windy City BMW club is waiving the BMWCCA membership restriction for CMMC club members. Cost is $60. Space is limited and fills up fast, so contact Randy at safetyschool@windycitybmw.com to secure your spot. Add a comment here so we know you are attending!!

WRAPUP: A chilly morning greeted 15 MINIs for a drive down to the show.. We met up with others who drove on their own, and were granted VIP early access to the show for almost 50 of us. We were able to get up close and personal with the new JCW GP and Paceman and check out all the goodies at the MINI exhibit.. Then we were off to check out the rest of the cars at the Auto Show. Huge thanks again to MINIUSA and to Knauz MINI for helping with the arrangements for our club and for the event tickets!!
