Mini Meet 2009 Hookup
Mini Meet East meets West will be held in Minnesota on June 29th thru July 3rd. This year is the 50th anniversary of the Mini, so it is bound to be a special event.
Post up if you are going, and what time you are leaving, and perhaps you can hook up and caravan out there. Also visit the Minis In Northern Illinois site to join up with more MINIs and Minis!!
Website is back
Our club website was unavailable for a few days. The underlying servers were moved without proper notification, and it took a little bit to get everything straightened up. Thanks to Paul for coordination to get things back for us.
Sorry about the delay.
