Join us for a drive into Wisconsin to sample some fun roads, ending at Gus’s Drive-in located in East Troy!

WRAPUP:

We had almost 30 MINs show up to Northshore Sportscars for an adventure drive.. we faced rain, snow flakes, sleet and eventually cool but sunny weather on the way to Gus’s drive in.. We explored a few twisty roads and the rollercoaster Alden road on the longer way up there.

Hue thanks to Michelle at Northshore Sportscars for hosting our starting location and to Mark H. for helping with the Rallista routing.

Come on out for an early season short double donut drive.. Starting in Glenview and ending in Elk Grove Village

WRAPUP: A sunny but chilly morning brought out almost 20 MINIs for an early spring drive. We had several first time attendees, plus there were many children tagging along to sample a couple area donut shops.

We started at Joe Donut in Glenview and then explored a couple twisty roads on the way to the final destination at Krispy Kreme.

A sweet time was had by all!!
