Wrapup: Twenty some MINIs braved the early morning and cold weather to caravan down Sheridan Road and Lake Shore  drive to the Auto Show.  40 club members were able to gain early admission to the show to get an up close and personal time to check out the MINI exhibit before the crowds.  Huge thanks again to MINIUSA for all the work to secure this special deal for our club, and to Knauz MINI for helping us out with the tickets!!!
