Another Iowa MINI sighting!
Fellow motorists,
You may have seen analogous threads to this one in other group forums. The idea is to report the location and description of any sightings of other Iowa MINIs. Also let us know if you were able to tag the MINI with an Eastern IA MINIs contact card (once we get them made and distributed, that is).
If you recognize that you've been spotted in this thread, reply with an acknowledgement...there's nothing cooler than closing the loop on a chance MINI encounter!
Motor on!

Another PW/B MC sighted in Decorah today! Parked on Second Avenue north of Water Street.
...but alas, it's a bittersweet sighting. There was also a moving van out in front, so I stopped to see what was up. As it turns out, the MINI owner's husband just took a job in Blacksburg, VA and they're leaving for the east coast tomorrow...rats!
So, two PW/B MINIs known to exist in Decorah -- one just arrived from Virginia in August (me) and the other leaves for Virginia tomorrow. How wierd is that?
Anyway, we exchanged contact info and plan on staying in touch. I was also able to give her some insight into the groups and dealerships out in that area. Guess we'll consider her extended family.

There's pics of my Iowa findings last Dec 23rd, the RB MINI and Minivan was just east of the QC. The Big rock is by my old home in SW IA.

Now that we're semi-officially in the tagging business, it will be a great victory when the first "taggee" closes the loop and is stimulated to acknowledge same within this thread.
I think I'll devise some formal recognition for the existing group member who's first able to make this happen through their outreach efforts...to be presented at a future EIM event near you...

Hey guys, I'm new to the Posting stuff in here, and well new to the owning a MINI too I guess. I'm the proud owner of an '02 Dark Silver Metallic MINI Cooper S. I've had it for 3 weeks now and love every min. with it. By far the funnest car I've owned. You'll be seeing me driving around the Iowa City area. If any one in the area ever wants to get togeather and go out for a drive let me know, I work at Sears Auto Center. I've got a couple of friends that work with me that have RSX's and i know they are look for people to drive with to. Happy Motoring to all.

^^ Welcome aboard. You just missed our inaugural event, but there will be more to come! I'll keep my eye out for you driving around since I live in Coralville.
I drive a Silver Mazda3 most of the time as the MINI is my wifes, if you see her its an Astro black MC with white roof and racing stripes
