UPDATE: 12/01/2005 After the get together, anyone that wants can pile out and take a short cruise to view the holiday lights at the Lincolnwood Towers. This area, bounded by Devon, Pratt, Central and Edens expressway is known for putting on a spectacular light show.

The plan is for everyone to just drive around randomly and explore the area. Beeps, waves and flashing headlights are expected when crossing the path of other MINIs!

Starved Rock Wrapup

Huge thanks to Bill Jacobs MINI for providing coffee, donuts and bagels and a cool starting place for our drive to Starved Rock!!

With the help of the Minis in Northern Illinois Club, we had a total of 17 MINIs out for the drive in comfortable late fall weather. There was a bit of traffic in the beginning, but the roads cleared up after Morris as we headed into the twisty bits. I was running cleanup in the rear of the line, and there were times when I could see MINIs heading in three different directions on the same road.

The park was much less crowded than last year, and it was no problem finding a good set of parking spots.

After a late lunch, some people headed home, some people explored the park, and a few just hung around in the bar. A fun time was had by all.

Thanks to Lex and Conrad for organizing this great event!!
