Please join us for a holiday celebration with a holiday lights drive and dinner. Because we have had so much interest on different nights, we are offering two options this time to include as many of you as possible.

We’ll meet at MINI of Madison to begin a 40-minute city drive featuring some nice lights displays on the south/west side of Madison, ending with dinner at Uno Chicago Grill west.

Please reply with your choice of Saturday or Tuesday, and how many people will be at dinner.

Hey Mad City MINI members,

Price Cobb who is a partner at Kelly-Moss Motorsports and the local BMW CCA is holding a “meet and greet” at the Kelly-Moss Motorsports location on November 6th at 10 a.m.

BGR Alex (a local N.A.M. member and owner of a new 2011 MINI Cooper) checked, and the Badger Bimmers said MINIs would be welcome at the event (he is a BMW CCA member from his last car).  BGR Alex and his friend Ellen will be there in their MINIs, so if you think you might attend, please post a comment in his recent NAM thread.

10:00 AM  Saturday November 6, 2010
Kelly-Moss Motorsports, Inc.  workshop
5101 W. Clayton Rd.
Madison, WI 53711

Google Map of the location.  Note: approaching from the west is the easiest route to the shop.

Comments from BGR Alex: If you aren’t familiar with Price Cobb, he used to race back in the 80’s/90’s and has had a successful career.  He is now heavily involved with Kelly-Moss Motorsports, and I’d HIGHLY recommend both Price and his shop if you want quality independent European car work done (mostly performance-minded). When I had my e90, I had them do work on it and they were a pleasure to work with.

Here is a picture of some of the “toys” in the shop, so at the very least you could just show up to drool…
