Pack your bags and get ready to hit the open road because you're invited for an epic event of Mini proportions in Milwaukee, WI! Just 90 minutes north of Chicago/Northern Illinois, the Mini Meet: East Meets West 2014 will be hosted in Milwaukee, WI! The event will be hosted by the Milwaukee Minis with regional assistance from members of the Minis of Northern Illinois (M.I.N.I.) and the Chicago Mini Motoring Club (CMMC). The 2014 Mini Meet has been designed as a destination experience - with the whole family in mind. In doing so, we will host an event that honors the tradition of the Mini Meet while infusing it with workshops attractive to those newer enthusiasts looking to learn more about the maintenance of their Mini and/or MINI Cooper. So... are you ready to "Meet Me in Milwaukee?" Please visit 2014 for further details
Buzz and I had kind of a tough day..... after 65 miles I turned back and sent my traveling companions on - I reloaded in my '09 Clubby and caught up with them later at our stopover in Jacksonville, Ill. Tomorrow we'll head on to Milwaukee. The problem is I don't know if I have a hot running engine or just a hot running temp gauge, I need to get an accurate gauge with numbers on it to see what's really going on, but it will have to wait till after I'm back home. We had such high hopes this morning when we left, nice cool day, car ran great....
Man that Sucks Dave. I think you did the right thing. You have way to much time & money invested to risk it. Try & have fun.
Yep, the weather couldn't have been better for early July. Here are a few pics from the eastern Iowa crowd.
