We haven't made any Union Jack ones and I'm not sure if we'll have time to produce a set as we're crazy busy getting ready, but I'll see what we can do. Either way we'll see you there!

ps
I like that people think I'm entertaining makes me giddy like a little school girl

Counterfeit MINIs (unless they're REALLY cool/funny) can go no higher than the 4th floor of the parking garage.

Well, I stopped by the British Grocers to get something for AMVIV, and I also picked up a haggis. Now what do I do with it?

Attention! Elvis is entering the Building!!!

OK, We're in talks with the Guys at Graceland Chapel to do our Renewal of Vows Ceremony. They are more than happy to allow us to stuff as many MINIs in their parking lot that will/can fit and take as many pics as anyone wants OUTSIDE THE CHAPEL. Only their photographers will be allowed to take pics inside the Chapel.

It is set in Hard Granite that it will be on Sunday, March 25th. It's in unset concrete for the actual time. We're trying to get a slot between 3 and 4pm, so that the scavenger hunt will be finished, but some people will still be around (like those from Nevada, Arizona, and SoCal, or those leaving Monday AM).

With 343 registered cars, I'm figuring no less than 25 MINIs, and no more than 100ish. When we get the time set, we can work on a good time to take pics of MINIs outside the Chapel (we can always re-arrange cars for a shot after).

I think you're suppsed to boil it. Like...for 3-4 weeks. Then feed it to a homeless person. If you're in Vegas, you then get arrested and the homeless person sues you for cruelty. You lose your job because of the arrest, and your house because of the lawsuit.
You have to live in your MINI, so it's all good.

Do you mean Friday? All the "official" AMVIV track stuff is on the Friday, not Saturday.
On Friday, MC2 Magazine will be at the track all day, and I'm sure there will be any number of photographers there.
There will almost definately also be a couple of guys in a plane flying around taking pics.
One of the paths back from Death Valley is set up to stop at the track to watch the MINI Cooper Challenge race, so there should be lots of cameras.

I'm actually heading down the weekend before, so will be coming in from the Grand Canyon on Thursday evening.

Note that in the forum I prefer the more formal name of 'Eric_'

So you're not going to caravan over with us??? Can't say I blame you if I could take the time off work I would make a week out of it too.

Steve
If it's a Haggis, (not in a can) you steam it till it's hot. If it's in a can it should tell you on the can what to do.

As of right now you would have absolutly no problems with snow. We have sun and Dry roads. Supposed to stay that way through the weekend!

Thank-you for the weather-watch.

As of today, my wife's relatives from overseas landed in LA to visit. So we'll be going to LA first on our way to Las Vegas this weekend. Funny, they always just pop in and tell us there're here. We'll take the Utah/Idaho/Washington route on the way home.

I am so looking forward to meeting you all.
