Happy new motoring year!

Our traditional first-of-the-year Meet-n-Eat is at the Wig and Pen Pub on the Coralville Strip in Iowa City on Saturday, January 26th. We'll congregate between 10:30 - 10:45 am at the restaurant (in the larger parking lot to the west of the building) with lunch planned for 11:00 am. This will be a great opportunity to discuss event ideas for the upcoming motoring season -- we already have some unique and fun excursions in the planning hopper.

Please RSVP by clicking the link in the Event Calendar entry (<--link) so we can give the restaurant a good head count. You'll also find the restaurant contact info at this link.

Be on the lookout for another interesting MINI-related brain teaser to amaze and amuse...

 

Was planning on being there, but both kids have basketball games during the event so I will have to miss the Meet-n-Eat. :-(

 

Notice anything peculiar about the attached photo?

Find out at Wig and Pen in one short week.

 

We have to back out, the big "wilted" oak over our garage is now scheduled to come down Saturday morning.

 

...I'm guessing hopefully not on the garage.

Good luck; see you in the QC in Feb.

 

See you guys tomorrow!

 

Great seeing everyone again. REDMINI was happy to get on the road again. Feeling kind of neglected! Nice turnout in nice (January) weather.

 

22 MINIs and 39 motorists, to be exact. Smashed the record for our traditional January gathering.

Here's a few pics from today's festivities:

It was great fun seeing everyone -- thanks for coming out!

Honored to have smieska's join us all the way from Council Bluffs; and great having Jaque_Mate and the whole Miah34 clan hop over from DSM (with the new white Countryman off the WAC lot!). Also wonderful to welcome EIM newbs Jake and Jess, Darrel and Paula, and Eric and Brenda -- hope to see you again soon!

 

...and thanks to you, Gary!
