So far so good. The weather is cooperating and the chance of a severe storm has diminished slightly. See you all at 7pm!

oh - a good lot for hiding under is just to the north east of woodfield on the mall loop road. Right next to the shoe store. It's huge and no one parks there. My sig pix was taken there

 

Esp. when the temp drops, under 60 degrees a little water and I might as well be on ice.

 

Could the weather all being going south of us. *fingers crossed*

 

Im heading outta here soon, so far so good, at least around here. C-ya guys there!

 

It was nice meeting you guys/gals. congrats on the car again o-ron. good stuff

But..where did you guys go??? I think i lost you guys when you were on higgins road (i was on my cell). Did you guys make a right or left turn somewhere? i went straight and went to the woodfield parking garage. I didn't see any MINIs around. After driving around for a couple minutes I saw lightning so i guess that was my calling card

if i still have the MINI, i do hope that we can do this again. I had a good time.

 

yeah, we headed onto I-290 towards Chicago, but I canceled out. I just couldn't see anything!!! Also, my car was stumbling very oddly as I was merging onto the highway. I think my intake was getting a little soaked??? Anyway, congrats on the car again o-ron!! Great choice in color , be sure to sign up to the Dark Silver Owners Club! and please have a safe, enjoyable trip home! hopefully you were able to find your way back. Let's keep this thread alive and definitly post up those pics!

 

I hope that everyone made it home safe. I was a bit freaked out by the sideways rain on 355. Yes, time for new tires! O-ron, congrats on your car and have a safe adventure home. I hope that your local MINI family is half as cool as everyone that made it out tonight.

Don't forget the blue tape and I expect to see many pics of the trip home.

Nice meeting everyone! o-ron, congrats on the MINI The rims and the mirror caps are perfect! I hope you have a safe and fun ride home! I too am expecting to see lots of pictures. I hope you guys had a good time in Chicago tonight!

My pictures are now on flickr here.



2perCooper - we made a right and drove to the parking lot near the out lot stores next to Rt 53. I'm sorry you didn't make it

blockh102 - we ducked under the garage and waited it out for 5-10 minutes. It looked like it was coming down fast!

 

It was great meeting you guys. After trudging down 290 in an awful downpour, we eventually made it back to the City, and introduced o-ron to Lower Wacker, LSD, and the twisties of Sheridan.

 

THANKS EVERYONE!!

It's super late, but I'll be posting pics and info on the blog probably tomorrow.

Thanks to Eechan and Motor On for the late night crazy rain ride through Chicago / LSD!

 

Great night; I'll post my pics tomorrow, hope everyone else got home safe with all the rain, I know tonight was a close call for some.

 

Sounds like you guys had a good time. Nice pics paulr I would have made it but I was working from home... and I've been grounded from my MINI by the wife for motoring too much during the month of May

Safe drive home o-ron

 

Nice meeting everyone yesterday, eventhough my stay was short lived. any threat of rain and my car runs for the garage! And we just had to go check out the new macbooks at the apple store.
congrats on the car o-ron, nice meeting you as well. I couldn't have chosen a better color combo myself. Even down to the wheels. Great choice! Have a nice and safe trip

looking at the pictures, it seems like we were running around all night! thanks for posting 'em up paulr, looking forward to seeing all the pics. And I can't believe you guys kept on going! hope you had fun in Chicago 0-ron

 

Sounds like you guys had some fun. I wish I could have made it...maybe next time.

 

So you've exhausted your MINI motoring quota Does this mean you won't be at Culvers?

 

oh I'll be there I'll have the family with me just no long distance motoring for a while
