The Holiday party was a huge success!! Lots of new members and old, lots of pizza, lots of sweets and drinks. MINI video entertainment and a great chance to hang out and talk to club members.

Here is a LINK to more pictures. If you have others, you can send them to Taylor

Huge thanks to Loren Morse of CravenSpeed for supplying a 15% supercharger pulley as a raffle grand prize, to Barry Brazier of MC2 Magazine for supplying sample copies of the debut issue, and to Lori for various raffle holiday gifts. Those extras really made the party!!

Thanks also to Taylor for volunteering his house and making all the food arrangements!

We are in the process of reformatting the righthand side links on the site to make items more readable and easier to find. The past events section has been moved to its own post and there is now a link on the righthand side to see all older events, by year

Past Events

Jonathan of World One Performance has graciously offered up a 10-15% discount (depending on part type) to Club members!

Check out their website at worldoneperformance.com and see the very cool performance parts inventory that would look great on your Mini! WorldOne carries M7, Tein, Alta, and Stoptech parts among others ? all available to you as a CMMC member at 10-15% off because of Jonathan?s desire to support the Club.

Visit the web site or contact Jonathan directly for more information at jonathan@worldoneperformance.com.

RedlineGoods.com has graciously agreed to extend a 10% discount for all Club members who wish to buy one of Redline?s hand-crafted leather shift boot kits (they carry e-brake boots and armrest covers as well).

Add that special personal touch to your car or get that special holiday gift for a fellow Mini enthusiast. Made from buttery Italian leather these shift and brake boots are fantastic looking, as you?ll see from their web site's MINI page.

This discount will run through 2006 and you need to use the following discount code on the order form: 4L2W9XA69X3. Just punch it in to receive 10% off immediately!

Steve Shrader from RearSeatDelete.com has offered Chicago Mini Club members a 10% discount for those of you who want to take some weight off (your car) and have it look great at the same time.

Steve says they will have a new web site in January but they do not currently have a system for taking the discount at check-out, so please e-mail him at questions@rearseatdelete.com and he will take care of you in processing your order. Steve has some great pictures at the site if you?re interested in what the finished product looks like. Many thanks to Steve and www.rearseatdelete.com !
