I'm wondering if any other Canadians are planning on it this year.
Unfortunately, I may not join fellow Canadians on the drive there because I need to go to LA and drop off a few things for my brother before turning around and heading to LV. I will probably spend a night in LA on the way down.

There's a number of folks from the Calgary and Edmonton MINI clubs heading down to AMVIV6, may be as many as 12 cars!
Check out the Calgary MINI Club site for more info.

Hopefully all your glass will stay intact this time! Not this year for us but hopefully soon

As Mansize posted there are a bunch of us from the Calgary and Edmonton Clubs going down to AMVIV6. Hopefully in a big MINI caravan. We will be working out the details at the January meeting if we don't have too many beers.

I'm booked. If you have too many beers, maybe your route to LV will be twistier . Leaving from the Vancouver BC area, I haven't plotted my route yet (still have a few months to decide), but will see if I can find a place to meet up on the way there.

I'm waiting for the Calgary contingent to let me know what route they're taking. I'm trying to avoid snow as I don't want to drive to Las Vegas with snowtires. It looks like PSMINI's route hits 6000ft elevations.

I've already gotten my room but still need to sign up. If you are going to be in the L.A. area a bunch of SoCal Mini Maniacs will be caravaning to LV sometime Thursday morning. You can join us if you like. I don't have details on where will meet but will post once I find out.

Thanks.
Right now, the situation for me to be in LA before AMVIV is changing day to day. I'll have to wait and decide my route when we get closer to mid March. I had tentatively scheduled to caravan to LV with PSMINI from Seattle, but it looks like they just cancelled the 9:00am departure and moved to a 7:30am departure from North Bend. That would mean I needed to cross the border around 5:00am. This would be too early for me. Thanks Scoop for trying to organize this, though.
Maybe a visit to LA isn't a bad idea.

Reason: PSMINI schedule change.
and not sure if that glass comment was directed at me or not, I had glass issues in IL on my way down.
I am meeting up (or planning to) with the Denver group on the morning of Wed 25th, like we did last year. That was a fun run with 10 of us. and picked one up along the way too. 2 cars from IL joined us there.

No, the glass comment was directed at me. It was my car that took a rock in the windshield on the the way to AMVIV4. Then my side glass got shot at with a pellet gun during the strip cruise. Three MINIs were damaged, mine being one of them.
Since they were separate incidents, I had to file two separate claims with ICBC (the monopoly insurance company in BC). Since I filed two claims in the same year, ICBC no longer allows me to buy comprehensive/glass coverage for any of my cars. Really stupid policy for a taxpayer owned insurance company. I've managed get glass and comprehensive coverage from BCAA (CAA for the rest of Canada).
Anyways, getting back to AMVIV, there's still a few weeks before I can make a decision to join a caravan (not the Chrysler product) to AMVIV or just drive there alone.
Hope to see you there. Maybe we can get all the Canadian cars together for a photoshoot
