Well, as many of you know, Stoopid and I have moved back to the east coast. So, I had to get our stuff and ofcourse my MINI here with us. I flew in to AZ packed 3 5x7x8 ft pods full of our lifes stuff and then the MINI. The MINI contained 500 lbs or so of stuff not including me.

The MINI is twincharged as you guys know and is making an unpossible 400WHP daily. Obviously as a TC car it is unpossible for it to make a cross country trip.

Here's the contents of the MINI:

16 inch run flat (spare)
Two full size Alienware computer towers
5 portable HDs (totaling 1.75 terabites)
9 computer speakers
large suit case
8 pairs of shoes
king size comforter
box o comptuer stuff.. wires, cords, mice, two keyboards etc etc
tools (just in case, she is twincharged and they are unreliable)
aluminium jack
two jack stands
funel
three hand made turkish pillows (for between stuff)
Xtreme Mac Ipod Alarm clock
Small Garbage can full o stuff
large milk crate full of stuff
cigar box ( I dunno it's kewl)


ok this list is getting long but I think you get the point...



So I drove for 30 some hours straight... only stoping for gas and monsters... oh and pee breaks which I tried to time with the gas... only turned off the MINI if I had to go inside...... and had no problems... Say it with me now "THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE!"

I have to appologize as I had this great Idea of taking pics along the way... but the further I got into the trip the less fun that became... as the sleep deprivation set in... along with the fact that I took out my AC (I was in an area that was not so hot at the time and wanted less pulleys etc) it all kinda faded to the back burner...

it reached 104 degrees out there around TN... and that was to say the least uncomfterble... I counted the seconds for the sun to set

here's some pics:

Not totally finished packing but you get the point

and last but not least... a pee break photo....



It was quite an expirence driving from AZ to NC with out stopping... wish I had taken more pics... but like I said... when you are going for that long... the 5 seconds it takes to take a pic becomes an eternity.. LOL...

P.S. incase you didn't know I am totally kidding about the TC minis being unreliable... mocking even...

 

Okay... I'll bite. Why did you drive 30 straight hours instead of making it a two day trip with a night's sleep in between ?

And is it me, or are those evergreen shrubs in the first pic trimmed in the shape of a set of ***** ?

had my computers in the car.. and didn't want them getting hotter than nessisary.. keeping moving keeps the wind moving...

moreover I wanted to get home to Stoo...
uhhh I'm gunnah have to say you... never noticed that before.. I think it's just the angle there... LOL...

 

I like the two sticks in the first open pod. MUST be some memories there!

 

Good you had a boring and uneventful drive.

 

Never happened. Faked like the moon landings.

 

yeah.... I don't really remember what... but I have had them so long... LOL...

 

Ah yes, young love. I remember it... well... sort of. Good for you though. I'm sure staying awake was easy when you thought of your reunion.

Okay, maybe it's just the angle. That, or I need therapy. :impatient

 

ha ha yes! I wish I took video.. then we could say it's all special effects!

 

ha ha yeah... that and about ten monsters

 

and what pray tell is wrong with that??

 

As long as it's not my eyes and mind playing tricks on me... NOT a THING !

 

RIGHT ANSWER!

Welcome back to the Old North / Tar Heel State. Glad you made it safely. Hope to see you guys at a meet round these parts once you get settled.

 

Boy, I used to hate guys who could be that sweet . . .

 

Wish we would have known when and where you passed by our little corner of the world(Southeast Missouri-aka Swampeast Misery-right there in the 104 degree zone ). We would have let you stop in for an air conditioning break.

 

 

Yea, GL catching him.

 

ha! I had the cruse set the whole way so I didn't have to worry about speeding.... with that much stuff in the car and some of those roads out there.... man... I can't imagine going faster..

stoping wasn't really an option I prolly woulda passed out like when I got home...1030 ish am ... unloaded... washed the car.. showered... ate... and somewhere around 2 pm passed out to wake up at 9am the next day heh.. that was some good sleep...

 

Welcome to NC-here's another request to see the 400hp monster at a meet soon!

No AC in coastal NC-yikes!

 

meh... humidity aside it's really not that bad... be sides... I need to loose some wieght.. LOL... when I stop sweating .. then we'll know I lost the insulation...

 

You got monsters?? Man, the last time I made a drive like that, I had little green leprachaun guys hanging off the road signs

 

Congrats on the move. Now, I better see you at the Dragon more often.

 

Congrats on the move and the safe trip across... There are some mighty fine folks in NC - not sure what area you've landed in...but lots of neato twisties back that way...as you probably already know..

I dont know how you drove through here (Memphis) without AC. It has been 105 with a heat index of 115 or so for the past week. But I am glad you made it in the worlds most unreliable car!

 

Welcome back to the east.
