The location is great, it's right at Sahara and I15.

I'll have a bunch of copies of the route with me if anyone wants to drive something a little more fun than the Interstate.

Keith, you driving the classic?
Yes I am!!! It's going to be a hoot ! The classic likes the twisties.
Just put in a SIRIUS satellite radio for the long *** drive back to Portland.
Coming back the northern route.
And I'll be back !!!

So...you're doing MITM this weekend, then out to Monterey, then driving all the way to Maine, then home? Sounds like a fun few weeks. Wish I could get that much time off at once.

For anyone who is interested, I'm going from Vegas to Flagstaff via "The 12 miles of terror", Prescott, Jerome and Sedona. Makes it about a 6 1/2 hour drive instead of 4 hours, but MUCH more fun. I printed 50 copies of the Streets and Trips map and directions, so if anyone wants a copy, come and get one on Tuesday night or before leaving on Wednesday morning.

I'll be at the House of Blues, like the rest of the MTTS wristband wearers, after that, I don't know. It depends where the partiers wind up. But you know what I look like, and you KNOW I'm easy to spot.

I'll make sure to save you a copy if you want, Juan.

Could you list the route or mark it on Google map. I'd love to drive it on the way back to San Diego from Flagstaff. I really want to do Route 66 just for the history of it.

I will be heading down to DC to drive back to Jersey City and on to Connecticut. Undecided about which route for the DC to NJ run - I am tempted by the longer run through Gettysburg but I want to run with the MOST MINIs which will probably be doing I-95.

I am soooo excited about this...

Where are people gathering in DC for the night before the final leg ??

Bill

MTTS License Plate

Hi everybody,

I had some time to kill tonight and considering we probably won't get our new plates in time I thought I'd improvise. Print it out at work on the nice 6color plotter, laminate it, and voila!

What do you think?

Nice idea - though I think you should bold up the route a bit more so it shows clearly

I'll be joining Flagstaff to Albuquerque in Holbrook, AZ (taking a great twisty from Phoenix through Payson and up) and then on to Albuquerque.

This is Jake's maiden motoring voyage! I take delivery 8/16! Waaaa-hoooo!

I'll be motoring my JCW MC from either Memphis or Nashville to DC (or maybe Jersey City) with several other Sunshine MINIs.

Day2 of MTTS and I am glad to report we are having so much fun...
The media crew MINIUSA hired to record the event is super cool... look for them in Voyager minivans with cameras and video hanging out... good folks...

we took some pics with them with three other Minis late afternoon ON Pismo Beach on Monday... On Tuesday we've run into them at the Desperado Roller Coaster in Primm NV... You guys out in the middle must be getting pretty excited. The caravan is on its way to you!!
