Micro Car National Aug 12
WRAPUP: 15 MINIs (and Mini), a Prowler and an MG took off on an 18 mile scenic drive to the MicroCar show. We were treated to VIP parking in the front row, and joined by a number of additional MINIs.
The show was amazing!! There was more of everything small than you could possibly imagine. Those that stuck around to the end of the show were treated to rides around the parking lot by a number of the vehicles including Messerschmitts, Isettas, Skoda, Smart Cars, 2CVs and an Amphibicar.
Thanks to Anders for planning the drive, and Arnie for the special parking!!

MINI Ad Agency Run: Chicago / Aug. 6th
WRAPUP:
Almost 60 MINIs (and Mini) and over 100 people showed up at Patrick MINI for breakfast and a presentation from BSSP and MINIUSA. They shared insight and information about MINIs marketing strategy and direction as well as some sneak peeks of upcomming advertising.
We hit the road for a 50 mile tour of some great area backroads. A few morning sprinkles kept the driving interesting.
After heading back, we enjoyed a cookout lunch and a chance to hang out and visit with friends.
Huge thanks to BSSP and MINIUSA for comming out to share information with us (and b-fast), Patrick MINI for opening up and hosting this event on a Sunday, Pat for planning the fantastic drive route, and CMMC for the lunch!!!!
If anyone has links to event photo’s, send me an e-mail to steve(at)chicagominiclub.com and I will link them here.

Craven Speed July Discounts
Just got some new info on a great discount from Loren Morse of Craven Speed:
First off, the Craven Speed Mini is finally back from an east coast tour of events culminating with Mini Meet East. It was a logistical nightmare, but we got a great response to our products, so I think it was well worth it.
Down to business… Craven Speed is offering a manufacturer’s $20 mail-in rebate on our Signature Series 15% Reduction Pulleys from July 1st-31st of 2006. This is a great opportunity for the late-comers to upgrade for $89 after the rebate!
Now that the development car is back in the hands of our engineers, we’re poised to release a few more products. Look for our NAV version of the FlexPod modular gauge pod very shortly. And some other things that I won’t reveal just yet, so keep your eyes on the Craven Speed website.
Finally, I would like to invite any and all to visit our representative at Minis in the Mountains to get a FREE Craven Speed Antenna!!
