The weather has not always been kind to us for our traditional EIM “Spring has Sprung” Meet-n-Eat, always on the first Saturday following the first day of Spring. This year, few complaints. The blue skies and dry roads were a welcome sight for our gathering at the Granite City Food and Brewery in Cedar Rapids on March 21st.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Willis Auto Campus – MINI of Des Moines staff for joining us and bringing along not one but two of the spiffy new MINI four-door (or is it “five-door?”) hardtops for us to have a close look and a test drive. Max kudos to Jeremiah S. (and Britney and Alaina too, of course!) and Jake M. for making the trip; great to see you all again! It was fun seeing the large turn-out. A special nod to Steve, Peggy, and Brandon for making the long trip over from Council Bluffs to join us…and congrats to Brandon on his recent MINI acquisition.
