Even though this was a spur of the moment drive on an unusually cold April day (even for Chicago) we managed to get 5 MINIs together – a couple more than I expected. While I'll always prefer the larger drives it was a nice change of pace having a smaller group. We were definately able to keep a higher pace than previous drives. Sheridan Rd. and Snake Rd. were the big highlights.
Also I want to say congrats to Casey for the new MCS and for letting me drive it for most of Saturday (The Black/White in the above pic). I guess I can safely assume you finally have more miles on it than me now 🙂
<p>It was a thoroughly enjoyable drive! Thanks folks! :)</p>
<p>Excellent fun… 5 MINIs, 1 to pass and 1 to park by… good to see everyone. Especially good to see you Casey — haven't seen you since October. Next time let's not wait so long for our next cruise.</p>
<p>Sorry we missed the driving part, 33 EJB did enjoy parking by your Mini's though……..Came down from Madison at the last moment. Didn't know Lake Geneva that well so we did our own thing after finding that parking spot. Maybe we'll see you all at another drive. BTW, we were the ones with the two boxers at the Milwaukee get together last summer.</p>
<p>Nelson – Great to see your MINI. It's too bad we couldn't meet up. I really liked the perforated sunroof among other things. Of course you're always invited to come pop down for our next drive. We're actually getting together for a meeting about the<a href="https://www.motoringfile.com/?Y=2003&M=03&D=13&TitleID=TheNextChicagoAreaEvent"> formation of a Chicago area club</a> that you're more than welcome to come down for. Otherwise we're planning on doing something for the <a href="https://www.motoringfile.com/?Y=2003&M=03&D=28&TitleID=TheChicagoItalianJobRally">Italian Job opening weekend</a></p>
<p>I had a great time as well.. Wish I could have driven the whole thing. I got home 20 minutes late, which was well below the “danger” zone.</p>
<p>Made it home safely before the snow started so that was good….had a great time! Thanks for letting me crash at your place Gabe….can't wait to get down soon for another cruise.</p>
<p>Cheerio</p>
<p>Steve! you put the stripes on! NICE, now everytime I see your's it's got something new on it too.</p>
<p>The stripes don't seem that new to me, as I have been obsessing over doing them since September.. I put them on a few weeks ago, back when we had warm weather. Probably my last mod for a while.. (although Gabe's Cooper S side skirts do look pretty sharp)</p>
<p>Steve, that looks great!</p>
<p>Steve! Excellent stripes!@@@#$</p>
