EIM at the Alphabet Soup Drive -- July 18th

[ Link to RSVPs for this event ---> HERE <--- ]

EIM plans to participate in A Wisconsin Alphabet Soup Twisty Drive being led by CMDG on Saturday, July 18th.

The southwest Wisconsin roads that will be traversed during this drive represent some of the best MINI motoring available in our region. The landscape escaped the brunt of the glacial bulldozer during the ice age resulting in a plethora of twisty curves and rolling hills. It's also a big plus that Wisconsin chooses to pave (rather than gravel) most of the quality tertiary roads. The result is a combination perfectly suited to the MINI.

The preliminary EIM rendezvous point is set for Dubuque at 9:00 am. We will meet with the Chicago MINIs in New Glarus, WI at 10:30 am.

Additional details to follow in this thread. Also, FreeFromDezire from CMDG (who is leading the planning) has posted some nice info and video clips of portions of the drive in this CMDG thread: A Wisconsin Alphabet Soup Twisty Drive -- you'll want to check it out!

It will also give you a clue where the term "Alphabet Soup" comes from.
