Celeste, my 03 MCS, has been to 29 US states plus British Columbia, Canada, since January! Took a little under 20k miles to get there, mostly on three long road trips:
the first one on pickup in Memphis, TN and drive back home to TX. The second from TX to Seattle, WA and back, and the third from TX to Maine and back.

Here's where we've been:

Alabama
Colorado
Connecticut
Georgia
Idaho
Kansas
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachussets
Mississippi
Montana
Nebraska
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wyoming

One of my trips was a business trip, does that make me commercial, and do I need to de-badge my car to avoid copyright infringement?

L.Mini, I can't believe you're at 3999 posts!
How many miles have you put on your MINI?
Be honest, how much have you motored?
Or do you have a PC terminal in your car

I guess my list is a bit short:

In sequential order:

Tennessee
Mississippi
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
North Carolina

I wonder what MINIclo's list looks like after her cross country trip this past spring. She went almost everywhere!

Let's see... My MCS has been to just these states so far, but I have potential for a lot more (besides, I only had my car since April!):

Maryland
Pennsylvania
Virginia
North Carolina
South Carolina
Georgia
Florida

I am due for a trip up to NY, and all the way to Maine, and to Ohio soon.

That'll rack 'em up!

Hi, I'm doing the Memphis, TN to Los Angeles, CA trip next week. Any tips? I plan on not taking a direct route through Texas, but rather hit the northern states including South Dakota (for Mt. Rushmore), to Montana, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, back to CA (got to go through Vegas the wife says--in all some 10-12 states.

1.) Did you bother to keep your car clean during your road trip? How?
I'm thinking of getting an Auto Glide car blade to dry it off, but buy a bucket and soap in TN (since I'm flying there, don't want to carry too much stuff)

I'm already taking an Alpine CD Changer, a GotMINI armrest, Custom Whalen Shift Machine ****, and lots of other stuff on the plane with me!

2.) Where did you stay along your trips?

3.) Did you spend a day in each state or just drive through?

Thanks a lot!!!!

JoeGreen is 6 1/2 months old, has 16 K, and has been in 11 states with me:

Ilinois, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. We're thinking about heading to Maine next.

Truly love the auto, the motoring, and meeting folks who want to know more about MINIs.
