Ah, no stop at that rest stop this time? Okay. What city is Man O' War? Lexington actually, or a suburb?

Canada eh!

Well you need to get away from the slots there .
Put me down for he OHIO crew, but i might want to take a another route, I have to get MY Streets and Trip loaded on my lab top then hook up the GPS to my computer and BANG, I can track my car on the map, Better then the NAV in the MINI, and double the size screen. I can uplink other GPS units and track the other MINI's, that would be cool. If you have external GPS units, please email me.

Mine does not talk though.


But no one will get lost, this is just to know where the band of people are, such as the groups, would be cool to track.
You guys get going on something and then go way off subject .
So, not too many people have GPS, if not on their MINI. Which I can hold my laptop up out of the top of my convertible for all to see .
So the offical name is the Great Detriot Caravan, With OHIO, and some other states TRIP.
To the dragon, is someone making a T-shirt for this???

T-Shirt=$$$ for MINI Wind Deflector!

I can make the shirts and sell them for 20.00 and say their Offical MINI Shirts, print them on Hanes T-shirts, like cheap car companies do, We will have to charge the Canadians more Like 40.00 .
Then I can save up for the $475.00 (MINI ONLY BUILDS)Wind Deflector. Did I tell you the carry Bag is extra and by the way Its made out of gold for that price .
We will get DUCTAPES CAR Fliped over picture and put it on the front, Say "MINIs Flip for this shirt" on the back The Minizzla Her self and "The Detriot Caravan and Canada, and Ohio People who hate to drive through Ohio but have to get There And who ever can Link up a GPS system so we can track the groups if that would work?"

Remember I can charge 20.00 because IT's Official "BMW".
The part number will be stamped on the tage over the hanes tag .
That should work, who wants to buy one, please so i can buy my wind deflector.

If you can't catch up with the Detroit crowd, you can always join us at the I-57/I-64 interchange in Illinois. We'll be heading south down I-57 to I-24 to I-40. Or better yet, motor to St Louis & go with us all the way
