We are happy---we registered at 7:15am CST. Wonder if we were the first ones?

Printed mine off for mail delivery. Trying to decide, dinners or no dinners, one dinner and which one if only one? I love the idea of a dinner at another location, this will be a fun twist.
Are there giveaways at both dinners or only the vendor dinner? I need to win some tires and or wheels.
Thanks 5280 for another great start to a fantastic event.

I'm in!

Driver's Seat Registration, but didn't see the T-shirt size on the PayPal receipt (XL, just in case).


Thanks for the great organization...this is going to be an awesome event!

 

Note that the FRIDAY dinner is scheduled for Winter Park Resort in Grand County. That is about half-way between Copper and RMNP Rocky Mountain National Park. Note that our big FRIDAY drive is to RMNP and we are encouraging ALL MINIs to show up at the park, at the top, for small group pictures.

Rocky Mountain National Park is unique. In 1996, it was designated (Trail Ridge Road, to the top) an "All-American Road" and it is one of the great Alpine Highways in the US. It crosses the park from East to West then drops into the Kawuneeche Valley, across the North Fork of the Colorado River.

Trail Ridge Road takes you up to 12,183 feet, and into the arctic region of the park. It is a 50 mile scenic drive, taking about 2 hours in the park. We call this the 'Roof of the Rockies' where you can see glaciers on all sides. It is considered to be Alpine Tundra, and is gorgeous. As always in Colorado...."Leave no Trace".

Why Friday? Winter Park Resort is on the way HOME from RMNP ( both directions ) and so we are sending you all out that way for a reason. Then, after dinner at Winter Park you are VERY VERY close to the road up to Mt. Evans. Will cut an hour off your time if you are going up on Friday night.

Enough reasons?

You probably want both dinners...because the prizes are all at Copper on Saturday....

Thanks Gil-galad! I didn't realize that PayPal's merchant shopping cart doo-hickey allows only two fields (I originally had 3). Now the Name and Handle are on one field so that the t-shirt size can be captured by the other. Thankfully it's early and I only have a few registrations to correct. Whew!

West Coast MINIs from San Diego will represent in CO again this year!

6 MINIs are already registered, with 5 more MINIs contemplating the trip. Gas prices be damned, CO here we come!

 

If you need an argument for coming: Gas is cheaper here than there.

After you've registered, why not Frappr yourself too? It doesn't hurt a bit. Frappr is US new map of push pin the home towns of those who are attending MITM 2008. It's easy to put your own push pin on the map, along with a brief quote and photos too! See the Frappr Map on the MITM site here or directly at Frappr www.frappr.com/mitm2008

Thursday dinner information posted in the MINI5280 Forums.....now two choices, both right in Frisco, the new one right on the beach in the Marina.....yowsa! Watch the sun go down, with a cold one, by the water, amongst friends....

Added myself to the map. Not very active yet, only 6 entries, but hopefully it will grow.

 

Jonathan, maybe you should start populating this sub-forum with what events are happening. Not all national members will visit the 5280 forums. Just a though.

 

Registered, now to get some place to stay. I don't think I want to commute Wednesday though Sunday.

Signed up for both dinners (Fri&Sat), figure a vendor day for Friday, I see RMN a lot during the year.

This should be a bunch of fun.

 

How much is this?

 

Hi Seigmann,
The full information, including signup (registration) is at:
www.MINIsInTheMountains.com
Hurry, though, registration ends at the end of July and the big event is only a week later, Aug. 6-10. There's lots going on that week and weekend in and near Copper Mountain, especially with MINIs.
