A casual Sunday morning drive and a visit to a fellow MINI owners detailing shop.. All About Detail

Beautiful weather for our club season opener drive..

We had about 15 MINIs.. about 1/3 were new members or first timers. We took the longer scenic route out to All About Detail where we got the rock star parking area in front.

We were able to check out the shop and ask a bunch of detailing questions and see the other cars at the Cars & Coffee gathering.

Huge thanks to Matt for hosting the location!

Come on out to Chicagoland Raceway for a day of Slot Car Racing and hanging out with MINI friends on Saturday February 10th!!

The BMWCCA (Car Club of America) will be hosting a MINI and Mini exhibit later this year in Spartansburg S.C. They are looking for a few good MINIs to be shown. If you have a car that qualifies and you are interested, check out the details below

Our annual end of season drive to Starved Rock will be on Saturday November 18th.
This event was renamed the Road Warrior Rock Run in 2016 to honor longtime club and board member Conrad Alexander.

WRAPUP:

A fantastic fall day brought out 30 MINIs to take our annual end of season trip to Starved Rock. We had 5 or 6 first timers and lots of repeat fans.

Bill Jacobs MINI hosted our start with coffee and yummy donuts, and we enjoyed mostly quiet roads including some recently paved twisty bits.

Big thanks to Tara at Bill Jacobs MINI for the hospitality and to Mark H. for setting up the rallista route!!
