WRAPUP: We had a lineup of 9 MINIs participating in the parade on a beautiful July 4th morning. All the MINIs were shined up, decorated and ready to go. The parade route was packed with kids hoping for candy and toys. A fun time was had by all.

WRAPUP: The sunny weather held out just long enough to last the morning drive. A group of 9 MINIs headed down Sheridan Road and Lake Shore drive to meet up with another 10 MINIs at the official starting location. A fun drive through some nice urban roads.. A few groups of MINIs got a bit lost, crossed paths a few times and eventually joined together and found the right way to the end. Several people stayed for breakfast and visting afterwards!!
As usual, send links of photos to steve@chicagominiclub.com and I will put them here to share.

Wrapup: Great weather, fun drive, good eats, and a cool destination!! We had a dozen MINIs and a bunch of dogs take a short trip out to Raceway Woods. There was one long pause for a slow moving freight train where we had a chance to pull over, take pictures and chat before the road opened up again. Burgers, brats, and side dishes were the food of the day, and people had a chance to explore the remnants of a very cool race track.

We have dates for our next couple of events. Additional details will be posted soon:
May 24th we will meet and hang out at the Spindle in Berwyn to check out a Chicago Icon before it is demolished.
UPDATE 05/03/2008: The Spindle has just been Dismantled, so we will be working on a different event on the same day.
We will have some brochures from http://www.langka.com/ LANGKA Paint Chip and Scratch Repair as well as a sample of their Blob Eliminator if anyone is interested in performing some chip repair in the near future.
June 8th we will exploring some fun roads in the Downtown area and South Lake Shore Drive.
Wrapup: The predicted bad weather held off, and it was a beautiful night for a get-together. We had over 30 cars meet up for a short casual drive, and we were joined by a bunch more at Superdawg. There were lots of newer and prospective members, a few people who haven’t been out to an event in quite some time, and also many who attend lots of events. There was plenty of time to socialize as well as time to hang out and check out all the newer R56’s, a Clubman and a fabulous classic. Big thanks to Arnie for helping make arrangements with Superdawg to allow us to take over their place for the evening.
E-mail links to photos to steve@chicagominiclub.com (please not the actual pictures because I don’t have the mailbox space), and I will link them in here.
