Looks like the world did not end on the 21st as predicted.

The event is still on and a email with hotel information and additional details has been sent to all those who filled out the Google doc. If you want the info and are planning on attending, please fill out the google doc and I will send you the info.

Have a safe new years.

 

Still not 100% on id I can attend yet..but if I can it sounds great.

 

I wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy New Year. Look forward to seeing some of you in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Hopefully we will have a great event.

or those who have filled out the Google doc, you should have gotten an email with the hotels rates. Additionally there is a link to a website to order the stack decals for your car. If you did not get this email please let me know.

A few people have already ordered the decals so there are a few numbers less to pick from. I realized I never said you get to pick your car number if you order the decals.

 

Not 100% sure, but I think this trip is in competition with AMVIV10. I believe it will be a June date. (If it matters to anyone) They're trying to pick a more upscale hotel for the 10th anniversary of the event.

 

There is a lot of competing events continental wide. There is a no way to figure out the on day that works for everyone. We will see how many truly go and those that do will have a blast.

 

Just a FYI, For those who signed up on the Google form, I sent a email a while back with a webpage on how to order decals. I have updated the page with a desired car number field. No Promises yo will get that number so please have a few choices. You can do all numbers ( 00-99 ) or letter and number ( A0 )

Please email VS PM as I am not on some of these forums very often. norcal.drivers@gmail.com

 

We will be at Mini Meet West in Bend Oregon the week before
so adding Yellowstone to the drive home sounds perfect.

Please add one more car for the road trip.

Going to be a good year.....

 

A reminder to those who have received the hotel info to call in sooner than later. We have currently 77 cars signed up. Not to shabby.

 

I sent an email to those who sided up with details on some rental car options. If you did not get this email please check spam as I used the Mail Chimp service to make the email pretty and easier for me to send the details of the event.

As this is a Euro car road trip I looked into what Euro cars were available. I was able to get rates on some BMW’s and Mercedes for those who want to do the trip but not in their car. The cost is about $100 a day which normally is between $125-$165.

I was also able to get leads on a few Porsche's for rent but you would have to go to LA and drive with the people coming from there. For the whole week would be about $2400.

There are some Mercedes SUV’s I was able to have for rent for those who want to fly and meet us on the way.

 

Just a update to remember to reserve your room if you are thinking of going. You can always cancel 72 hours before check in. So if you plan on going make sure to at least hold your room. Details on room rates were mailed to those that signed up on the Google doc.

 

I don't know how I found this thread , just lucky I suppose! I started to plan this type of trip 3 years age only on a motorcycle. Funny, my wife said no way, to far on bike. So I bought Mini Cooper but still didn't make trip last year. This year I plan on making the trip.. not sure about her yet. ha
My plan included Glacier Nat Park. Would anyone else be interested in going on up to Glacier? Larry

 

For those who are somewhat interested in going, make sure to reserve your room sooner than later. If you have not received the email with hotel information please email or pm me.

 

Just a bump to make sure people know about it as well as are paying attention.

Cheers

 

Regret to inform you that we are going to back out of this trip. It sounds like a wonderful adventure and we are saddened by this decision. Unfortunately, my MINI has been having major engine problems. I couldn't trust it on a road trip of this length.

Thanks for all of your hard work in putting this together. Have a wonderful time.

 

week bump for event

 

Just a bump and a update that we crossed the 108 person mark for information request to attend. Not to shabby.

If you signed up and have not gotten the info, please email me directly. norcal.drivers@gmail.com

 

Dang, I wish that I could make it to this, because I would so go! But it's the same week my fiance and I will be in Mexico for our Honeymoon :(

If you ever plan something like this again, definitely post something! I'll keep an eye out for the future

 

Trying to make this type of EPIC road trip Bi annual and go to different parts around the continent

 

We are 76 days away from the event, wow time fly's

For those who are thinking of going, make sure to book your rooms sooner than later.

There are BMW and Mercedes rental cars available for those who do not want to drive their car. Email me for details on rooms and car rentals.

 

For kicks I took the time to map out all the people that requested info. This is the caravan routes according to Google for the fastest route there based on ZIPs provided.

If everyone that requested info is able to attend, that will make for a truly continental event. Alaska is winning for furthest traveled as you can see.

If you have questions or have not gotten the last email update, please email direct - norcal.drivers@gmail.com

 

April is almost over so that means we are getting close. WOOT

 

For those who signed up for information, I just sent out a May update. If you did not get this email please check your SPAM folder for a email from NorCal Drivers.

If you still do not have it please email me at norcal.drivers@gmail.com and I will send it to you directly.

 

I will be ordering shirts soon. Below is what we came up with for the event.

For those who have signed up, I will be sending out the itinerary for the weeks activities. If you still want to go, sign up and join us.

 

I wanted to do one last bump for the event. I will post here next with a link to the images and video from the event.

Decals and T-shirts have been ordered. If you want a decal or t-shirt please let me know ASAP so I can add your request to the order.

As always if you have not gotten any email updates please email me so we can make sure you get the updates.
