Mini Cooper Family & Friends

As you know we are moving to southeast Iowa, and we are selling our mini's. The JCW "06" and the red "02", it's been so much fun being a part of the Mini Cooper family but it's time to downsize. If you know of anyone looking to buy please let me know. Motor on Mike, Teresa and Maria.

Good luck! We enjoyed your company and will miss all of you. Please keep in touch with the EIMers!

Such mixed emotions! +

We're happy to celebrate your transition to new and greener pastures, but certainly sad that we'll be seeing a lot less of you and your MINIs. You folks have been among the stalwarts in EIM and we've enjoyed so many great times together that it's becoming difficult to remember them all. A quick visit to some of the older photo albums on our website brings back many of those memories and really makes me smile. We can't thank you enough for all of your contributions and camaraderie. And as D3m0N posted a few years ago, you'll always be a part of EIM whether you're motoring in a MINI or not. Eldon isn't that far away, so we expect you to pop in on us and say "hi" once in a while!

For those who don't know, MariaChick is one of the Eastern Iowa MINIs plankowners (i.e., was there when it all began). I will always remember our lunchtime meeting at the Dubuque Family Restaurant in October, 2007 when we put the EIM wheels into motion and officially became a MINI "family." Here's a picture to commemorate that event -- MOLLY #1, ZOEY, SHADOWFAX, and MARTY parked together outside the restaurant -- the original MINIs that today are all retired and live only in our memories...



Mike, Teresa, and Maria -- all the best to you!

Welcome to our forum! We know that's one sweet MINI you've got there.

Are you also a native of our region?
