It was a beautiful and warm autumn day and a great turnout for the final EIM event of the 2012 calendar year. Thanks to everyone who came out and joined us for the EIM Meet-n-Eat at the Country Junction which was hosted in Dyersville on 11/10. It was a special treat to see several old and dear friends back in our MINI motoring family again!

We had great fun reminiscing on all of our fun times over the 2012 motoring season and recognizing some of those special memories in the presentation of our annual EIM Recognition Awards. Congratulations to all of the award recipients! The complete list of recipients appears after the Read More jump below.

A few photos from the event are posted in our Photo Gallery and are directly accessible using the following link:
