I beleive tomorrow we are useing just channel 7 with sub channel 0. Then I believe we are going to 7-21. I'm not sure but I will be on 7 -0 .:smile:

Here is the info I got from Golfman. I hope I have helped. Happy motoring

[size=3][font=Arial]The drive up to Nashville will leave from the Wal-Mart parking lot on Fieldstown Rd in Gardendale promptly at 12 Noon (be sure to bring your 2-way radios, channel 7 please). The reason for the late start is to allow those driving up from [/font][font=Arial]Montgomery[/font][font=Arial] to do so without getting up with the chickens. We will then drive up I-65 N to the Athens Cracker Barrel at the intersection of I-65 N and US Hwy 72. After much hand-shakin’ and huggin’, we will again take to I-65 N enroute to the Brentwood Holiday Inn. We should arrive between [/font][font=Arial]3:15[/font][font=Arial] and [/font][font=Arial]3:45 pm[/font][font=Arial] with time to check-in and freshen up before departing to MINI of [/font][font=Arial]Nashville[/font][font=Arial] (MON). Due to the late hour of the MON event, many owners are planning to stay overnight in [/font][font=Arial]Nashville[/font][font=Arial]. The Holiday Inn has given us a rate of $70.00 plus tax per night. To get this rate you must tell them you are with the “MINI Cooper” group. The phone number to call is 1-615-373-2600. You do not have to stay at the Holiday Inn; there is no obligation for anyone to do so. I also know there are single guys or ladies planning to attend, please let me know and I can try to arrange for you to have a roommate and keep you costs to a minimum, but one of you will have to call and reserve the room.

There is a thread in the South East forum titled Two-Way Radios. Golfman, AKA Harold, said 7-21 and this is the official MINI frequency. Everyone being on that channel tomorrow is something I'm not positive on. I think it would be a good idea to have the frequency mentioned on the BAMA site so no one misses anything.

I have two radios so I will have my main one on 7-21. I'll go ahead and keep the other on 7-0 to be sure that no one misses the caravan if your planning to join up while we are passing by. I think it will be a good idea to go ahead and designate a frequency on the BAMA website. 7-21 is the official MINI channel so I don't see why ours can't be. :smile:

So, did everyone get their car all nice and shiny? Mine is ready to go but needs a little cleaning inside. Something for me to do in the morning. :smile:

 

Can't sleep. I must be ready for the trip because I'm up right now at 2:00am. So anyway I got home at about 6:00pm on friday and started cleaning up my Mini . I got done at 8:00pm. So if you want to meet me, I will be in the Green Clean Mini.

 

Everyone, if we are good leaving Bham with radios on 7-21 that is what we will use to Athens. If someone has only channel 7, I don't want them to miss out on any of the fun. Bodinsky, we will go on to the Brentwood Holiday Inn (old hickory exit) and leave from there at 4:30 to go to MoN. You can catch up with us there and ride in together. See ya.

 

Are you still planning on passing I-65 & 99 (Columbia) around 2:30?

 

I had a great time on the run to nashville. I'm just sorry I didn't really get to talk with everyone. Hope to see everyone again soon!!!


Here is a new website I just started about my car and events I goto. The trip to nashville is on there.
