Hi all! It was great to see the turnout at Wig and Pen yesterday, especially given the the weather limitations. Happy to see many familiar faces and really fun to meet all of the new folks! A nice place to meet. We may definitely have to consider another visit there sometime.

Here's just a few pics from our Meet and Greet. MINI2, MariaChick, REDMINI...amazing how you managed to keep everything looking so mighty fine despite the crud on the road! (Was there a car wash nearby? What was your secret?):

(Handsome Rob, would you be willing to port these over to our site?)

Jan and I started heading back north from Washington about 6 pm; ran into a little freezing rain between Riverside and Independence -- we counted six cars in the median ditch on I-380 between IC and CR. Happily, my Hankook iPikes performed well; at a safe speed (probably 40 mph average) the MINI motored along straight and true through it without so much as a wiggle. Once we got north of Independence it was just light snow; the roads were 50-100% covered but it was relatively easy driving. Took an extra half-hour for the trip home which was not bad at all considering the conditions.

Hope to see everyone again soon! Motor on -- safely!

 

I did have her come by and take a picture with her phone for me

 

I had a great time guys, nice to meet as many as were there. Can't wait till the weather gets better so we can all go out for a "nice" drive And buy the way to the people that didn't make it, you missed out on the pizza. The "FLYING TOMATO" was AWSOME!!

 

I had a blast at this! And what a turnout- I was suprised at how many came
Teehee- We cleaned Marty before we left, but Dad drove so fast going to Iowa City the dirt couldn't catch us

I had a great time meeting everyone, most of you for the 1st time. It is great to have a "local" Mini group and I hope to be able to participate more. I washed MAXX before I left Marion, he runs faster with less dirt.
