Chicago folks: who wants to join a couple of us in an informal MINI cruise this Sunday at 10am?
I've got a friend coming into Chicago to pick his 2nd MCS this weekend. We thought, what a better way to celebrate than to do a small cruise to break in his MINI. Again we wanted to make this a very informal and a somewhat short drive. I don't really expect much more than a handful of people to make it on such short notice so don't give it a second thought if you can't join us.
When: 10 am this Sunday the 6th of April. (remember the time change!)
Where: We'll meet at the Plaza de Lago in Wilmette (the same place we met for the March drive). From there I'd like to head up Sheridan Rd. and then into southern Wisconsin. We'll end up at Popeye's on Lake Geneva hopefully around noon
When: Not quite sure yet but it'll definitely be sometime Sunday mid/late morning.
Who: Anyone is welcome to join us. If you have a new MINI, a Classic Mini, or are patiently awaiting your MINI that is currently on some ship crossing the Atlantic you're welcome to come out.
Things to Bring: FRS Radios, a full tank of gas, all your best Mini apparel, a smile, and possibly an umbrella as it's suppose to be rainy this Sunday.
Again this is a very informal cruise so if you can't make it you won't really be missing much. Just respond below or email me if you'd like to join us.
<p>I have to be home before noon (b-day parties for my kids), but hopefully I can meet or start out with you depending on what time you start.. Is Sunday the Daylight savings time switch?</p>
<p>What about those of us whose Coopers are still waiting to get on a boat?</p>
<p>Yes, Steve, we get shorted an hour this Sunday morning.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if I'll be able to come, anyway.</p>
<p>Don't worry about not making it – this is really just a Sunday drive for those of us who might be free.</p>
<p>I should be able to make it to this…hehehehe…oh yea…it is me picking up my MINI….so everyone else better show up…hehehehe….deb?? donna?? bill?? Tim??</p>
<p>Wouldn't miss Apex II and seeing you for the world… is Lisa coming? Maybe I can bring my babies with… cat power! LOL</p>
<p>Nope – Lisa is working so she won't be able to come.</p>
<p>CASEY!!!! Where ya been honey? And Happy New Car!
I am soooo sorry, but I can't drive with you guys this weekend, have a houseguest coming up for the weekend.
Good luck with your new car, and try to come back for one of our future drives, ok?</p>
<p>Casey, Congrats on the new MCS! I'd like to attend but I'm Cooper free this weekend. My Cooper is sitting at Knauz awaiting the return of the computer module from New Jersey. The computer module (MDE?) did not do so well during the latest software update. I could drive the Enterprise provided Dodge Stratus – ummm, second thought, I'll wait until the next drive.</p>
<p>I love to go but can't make it. Have “safe” drive. :)</p>
<p>Terribly sorry, I have other obligations that day. See you all on April 26th.</p>
<p>We'd love to come, but could we joni up with the convoy further up north? :)</p>
<p>Yes! We'll wait for you in the town square of Lake Forest around 11:00-11:30</p>
