The Coastal Maine Rally Details are each team will be given a card with checkpoints they must visit listed at the beginning of the day. Each team will need to stop at these checkpoints, (we hope you will anyway because they will be something you will want to take time to see) and have some form of proof you were there, such as a picture with you and/or your vehicle. Why will you need proof you were there? We are awarding cash prizes to the top 3 teams. These prizes will be awarded based upon your total rally miles. We will check the odometer of each car before and after the rally. The 3 teams with the shortest miles will receive a prize.

This sounds intresting ive got family in bangor and havent been to bar harbor in many years, if my ex gf is up to it ill pick her up in saco and meet up for this.

 

Good to hear you'r interested! I would love to see another fellow Mini driver there! If you have any questions just let me know, I will be happy to answer them.

 

I am up for this, have not been to Maine in a while looks like fun, count me in with a co Pilot

 

Sweet! PM me with details, we have a roster going on our Facebook page as well as the Rally North America website

 

Ooo! Would like more details. What is your Facebook page under?
Just got an '06 MINI. Live in Bangor, ME. My husband, our son and I might enjoy this Rally!

 

Thats good to hear! The only problem is we have been experiencing a lack of interest, so Ryan has been seriously considering calling this event off. If it is canceled we would still like to organise a smaller similar event to this where we will just cruise to a few places for a few hours one day. Please stay in contact though, hopefully interest will pick back up!

On a side note, I live in Brewer! What color is your Mini? I have a red/black 2003 which I put away for the winter, but it will be back on the road within a month. Maybe I will see you driving around!

 

Hi Jon!
Thanks for your response! We adopted a 2006 British Racing Green CS with a white roof. Last year of the old style. I am having a great time in it. Who do use for a mechanic, or are you your own mechanic? Please let me know if you put together the day trip you mentioned.
Cheers,
Terry

 

I'll have to keep my eyes open for it then! I prefer the old style myself, my uncle got a 2009 'vert and I prefer mine. I do all of the work on it myself. Problem with Maine is the closest Mini dealership is in Peabody, Mass. Ive made the trip down there 4 or 5 times but its so much easier to do my own thing. I'll definitely keep in contact with you about the trip! No matter how this one plays out Ryan and I will be taking my car down to WV to do another bigger rally this July.

No interest? Are you kidding? This sounds like a ball and for a good cause to boot. I am always looking for a chance to do some serious motoring.
