Chicago Area MINI Duty Calls? To Spindle or Not to Spindle

Hello Chicago Area MINI's

After many years, Berwyn is taking down the "Spindle" or as the locals call it the "car kabob" at the SE Corner of Harlem and 22nd/Cermak.

It's coming down this SUMMER.

Let's all do our part by meeting this Sunday, July 15th at 930am for a group photo with the Spindle before one of the few local car culture icons is no more.

Will you join me?

We had 4 MINI's this Blue Sky Morning, and a new MINI drove by stopped in to say "hello" hope to see him at an event soon.

Farewell to the Kar Kabob.

The four of us then went for donuts.

Hey Rich thanks for making part of the drive home more fun.

The BIG Picture...

Here is a picture that I stitched together from 6 pictures. The original size is something like 4000 X 4000. Great if someone wants to print a poster. I can fill in the sky if you want. This is not the largest size, FLICKR re-sized it for me. The file was larger than the 5 MB limit.
