We had great fun hooking up with the Des Moines area MINIs this weekend! The weather held off for us and we had a wonderful time motoring together.

Deanman, thanks much for the planning, organizing, choreography, and making the dinner reservations for us (my steak was pretty awesome, but mostly I really enjoyed those endless ice tea refills... ). Please share any other group photos, plus those that anyone might have from the continuing run to Chicago.

D3m0N and oldsbear, glad you could join us for lunch in Coralville. It was great seeing you again Mr. 'bear.

Here's a few pics from the run between Coralville and Galena:

Hope to see you all again soon!

 

Yes, it was a very fun time, indeed! I'm very jealous about the beverage deal, but other than that, it was great. Great pictures too, G.

Great pics, D! Thanks!

How was the Irish Pub, and the Wicked show?

 

Most photos from this drive are now available in the Photo Gallery on the Eastern Iowa MINIs website.

Thanks to Handsome Rob for getting the site back up and better than ever!
