Thanks to all of our faithful MINIacs who came out for our first gathering of 2016 — the EIM Meet-n-Eat at the Wig and Pen Pub hosted in Iowa City this past Saturday. It was great to see a good turnout and our folks enjoying the cooperative weather, great food, and conversation on our winter experiences and plans for the upcoming motoring year.

Special thanks to our good friend and MINI of Des Moines Service Advisor Jeremiah S. who graced us with some brand new F54 Clubman hardware to view and enjoy. Thanks to family members Britney and Alaina for tagging along with him — we always enjoy your company. Congratulations to long-time EIMer Paul J. who surprised everyone when he arrived in his very own brand new Midnight Black Clubman!

Thanks again for your participation. Photos from this event (courtesy of our beloved “Purple Haze Queen” Linda R.) can be found in our Photo Gallery and are directly accessible using the following link:
