I know there used to be a Badger-state Mini Club, but it seems as though they have dropped off the face of the Earth without a trace.

If there is still one, could someone point me in the right direction?

If there isn't one anymore, would there be enough interest among my fellow Wisconsinites to start one?

 

Alternatively you're more than welcome to head down to Chicago for CMMC activities. As for other clubs, you can check below:

YES! I'm interested! It would be great to hook up with some fellow MINI owners.

 

Come on out and join the Chicago MINI Motoring Club on our Spring Drive Sunday March 26th.

Starting in Schaumburg and ending in Lake Geneva Wisconsin.

Here is the info:

I've attended a several of the Chicago MINI Motoring Club's events & have to say that they're a great bunch to drive and hang with.

 

I'll be picking up my mini this weekend most likely,
I'm also interested in meeting some fellow WI mini owners!

 

I was at the Spring Drive that the Chicago MINI Motoring Club put on. I met someone who is working on getting a club running in Milwaukee...stay tuned.

 

We are officially up and running - check it out at:

http://www.milwaukeeMINIS.com

Our first event is May 7th and all are welcome to sign up!

 

May 7th I'll still be at the Dragon, maybe I can make it to the next one. Good luck with your club!

 

I'll be there!

 

I'm planning on being there. Looking forward to the Milwaukee Mile!!!

 

We should be there....someone is putting flyers on cars...my wife got one the other day in Brookfield....is that someone here on NAM? Good job getting the word out

 

I've tagged a couple of cars, but I don't think I got yours (based on the picture).

I'm looking forward to the Milwaukee Mile as well! Should be a neat way to start things off!

 

I mailed my $10 entry fee yesterday, and got new wheels and tires mounted today.

 

[FONT=Arial]Just a quick note to let everyone know the plan for the Milwaukee Mile event this weekend. Meet at 8:30am in the Walgreens parking lot at Greenfield Avenue & 84th Street, right across from The Milwaukee Mile. (Walgreens, 8333 W. Greenfield Avenue, West Allis, WI 53214). We can drive on the track together if you come to Walgreens to meet first, or otherwise if you drive seperately to the Mile, feel free to drive the track on your own. Either way, afterwards you’ll be directed to the MINI corral for the car show. For complete details about the event, please visit http://www.milwaukeeMINIS.com

I missed the pre-entry deadline. Can I still participate in the event?

 

I'd shoot an email to theresa@milwaukeeminis.com I think you just miss out on the reduced price.

 

I believe you can still participate, the cost goes up to $15 instead of $10.

Still plenty worth it.

 

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Sans Serif][SIZE=-1]I just spoke to the folks at the Milwaukee Mile. They said that about 150 cars have pre-registered and they expect 500 cars total. We've got about 16 MINI's signed up, but others may attend that we don't know about! If you haven't pre-registered yet, you can still come but will just need to pay $15 that day.

Just a heads up that they said that you can pay an additional $15 for 3 extra laps, and you can do this as much as you want. They will also be taking photos of the cars on the track which they will be selling for $5 each with half of the proceeds going to the Hunger Task Force. Don't forget your two cans of food!

The plan is still to meet at 8:30am in the Walgreens parking lot at Greenfield Avenue & 84th Street, right across from The Milwaukee Mile. (Walgreens, 8333 W. Greenfield Avenue, West Allis, WI 53214). We can drive on the track together then to drive on the track, and afterwards we’ll be directed to the MINI corral for the car show.

Looking forward to meeting you all then, Theresa[/SIZE][/FONT]

 

A special Thanks to Theresa for organizing this event at the Milw Mile. Was great to get out and see the other MINIs. Unfortunately with the kids there....their patience was running thin.....and we couldnt stay that long...Hope to see everyone at the next www.milwaukeeminis.com event.

 

I also had a great time at the Mile event. I've been lazy and havent uploaded any pics yet...Ill get on that...sometime. Also, do we have a thread specifically about the Mile meet?

 

I've got some pics up on my makeshift webpage: http://web.mac.com/shagz Click on MINIs on the Mile for the pics. It was a great time and was happy to meet everyone.

 

I finally had a chance to update the website and included some photos on it - www.milwaukeeMINIS.com - more photos will be coming later this weekend.

Setting up a thread just for Milwaukee will be coming soon, along with the unveiling of our logo (think Autobahn) and a new design to the website!

Thanks to all for coming on out on Sunday!
