simon - I'll be forming a ClubMINI2 chapter in Minnesota(maybe including WI or other surrounding states. Please stay in touch with me at
Casey@mini2.com and please give out my email address to others you know that would be interested in a Club. It would include mostly driving stuff - trips up the North Shore, Twisty bits throughout Wisconsin, etc. Also would try to get something going with the local BMW club(i know several people involved there) and get some track time at BIR.
Stay in touch
