Who likes driving MINIs and listening to the Blues?

We will be taking a neighborhood drive to listen to CMMC member Dave Hoffheimer Band performing live at Ten Ninety Brewing Company in Glenview.

WRAPUP: A smaller crowd of 5 cars (3 MINIs a classic Mustang and a classic Eagle Talon) took off from MINI of Glencoe for a short cruise on some fun area roads. We were joined by a couple other club members at the Ten Ninety brewing company where we enjoyed some good eats and a performance by the Dave Hoffheimer Band. Big thanks to Dave and to MINI of Glencoe!!

Anyone interested in a meetup and head out together to see the North Suburbs Cars and Coffee at Hawthorn Mall?

WRAPUP: A warm mostly sunny day brought out 5 MINIs to the car show out of about 30 cars. Fun time hanging out with MINI friends and checking out cool cars.
We did not get a chance to drive lunchtime laps, but a few of us did get some passenger laps thanks to Jim M.

We will be joining up with the Northwest Indiana MINIacs for a meetup/hangout at the visitors center of the Indiana Dunes and then a cruise for ice cream in New Buffalo MI.

WRAPUP: A beautiful Saturday brought out a half dozen MINIs to meet and join up with a bunch of Indiana MINIacs at the Dunes Visitors center. Goodie bags were provided by the Dunes!! After a hangout time, a dozen MINIs took a scenic drive to New Buffalo for Ice Cream. A good time was had by all.
Huge thanks to Scott and Sherri H. for planning and leading the Chicagoland portion of the drive and to Matt M. for he Dunes and Michigan drive planning!

Wrapup: Beautiful weather brought out over 30 MINIs for a fun morning drive.. We had a bunch of new people as well as many long time club members who haven’t driven with us in quite some time.
We also had a good split between Wisconsin Club members and Illinois members. After a fun twisty drive (and only getting lost a little bit) we all wound up at the Cheese Castle in Kenosha for some eats and hanging out.
