Here is some info from Christine Chabot, the Director of Operations about exciting activities around the closing of the MINIs to the Max exhibit on Saturday, January 18, 2025 in Greer, South Carolina

WRAPUP:

Fantastic Fall weather and a big crowd came out for our end of season ride to Starved Rock. We had about 35 MINIs… a few first timers and lots of old friends. The weather held out for the drive, and the drizzle started after we got to the park. A fun time was had by all.

Thanks to Bill Jacobs MINI for hosting our starting location and providing some tasty road snacks and to Mark H. for doing the Rallista route mapping!

WRAPUP:

Beautiful fall weather was made for driving.. We had about 8 MINIs head out for an afternoon drive on some fun roads ending at club member Benny’s garage to hang out and check out a bunch of very cool cars including and example of the MINI GP1, GP2 and GP3 to compare and contrast.

We had several first-timers out for this drive and half the cars were Gen1 MINIs, which hasn’t happened for a long time.

Thanks to Mark H. for the Rallista route planning and special thanks to Benny H. and family for providing pizza and soft drinks and hosting such a fun get-together!!

WRAPUP: Fantastic day for a drive thru the Vernon Hill cul de sacs and a stop at Superdawg Wheeling We had about 33 MINIs plus some MINI friends in their non-MINIs who came to hang out and visit.

We’ve done this route enough times that the people in the neighborhood now know to come out to watch the parade of MINIs looping thru with lots of beeping and waving.

It was great to visit with new and old MINI friends at Superdawg and enjoy some tasty treats.

Huge thanks to Arnie and Lena for the route and planning as well as leading the drive, and to Mark H. for providing the Rallista route!

WRAPUP: We had a small but enthusiastic group for our drive to Volo Bog..

It was drizzly, sunny, warm and cool at various times thru the day. We explored some fun twisty roads, got a little lost and all made it to the Volo Bog.. The bog was wet, so the floating piers were very float-y.. A fun time was had by all

Huge thanks to Patrick MINI for hosting our starting location!!
