Blucoopr it'll be fun to compare notes, I have an EB/EB '03 JCW with lots of chrome too, although we'll be driving our new LB/LB Clubster on this run.

We'll be driving almost lookalike Clubsters

So I am trying to figure out how many MINI there will be by the time you all get from St. Louis to Kearney, NE.
Judging by the Calendar sign up this is what I see.
StLouieLo
Marlow Main
Mishka
Zyamfier
bigfun04
tancred
rvan220
saturn
BLUCOOPR
R56MINICooper
Zinful
If I missed anyone or if you are not going to be meeting me in Kearney let me know and I will edit this post.
That is a whole lot of MINI in one spot for Nebraska. I don't think the state patrol will know what to do with us.

Marlow I'll co-ordinate the chanels with Davester, I think my WT's are pretty low powered, I doubt they reach much over 1/2 mile or so.
and I don't even know if they go up to chanel 20...........

We can drop to the lower channels. We always seem to jump around. The group dictates. If all else fails I will have 7-21 on one of my radios. I always have that channel available. You never know when you are going to see another MINI on I-80.

Zyamfier, you can add MINIdave, Bluegoose, Davester and Monty to your list. They are the 4 KC MINIs departing for NE on Wednesday.

As part of the trip prep, we washed, and clayed 2 MINIs today, before it started to pour. I was able to pull Cousteau into the garage, but poor Saturn's MINI got soaked, then he had to drive her home. I guess she will get another wash and the wax on Wednesday before the trip

Is it Thursday yet?

As everyone is finalizing their packing, be sure toss in a fleece or something warm, since it will be cool with isolated showers in South Dakota.

Fresh in from the weather channel:

Wednesday high 54/low 35
Thursday high 69/low 47
Friday high 63/low 39
Saturday high 62/low 42
Sunday high 73/low 46
Monday high 75/low 49


Motor safely! We will see you Thursday.

Gosh, these temps seem downright balmy to me...almost perfect. I guess those of us living above 43N latitude are just easy to please.

Should be great motoring conditions...looking forward to seeing everyone.

Denver meetup time confirmed

at 10 am, Bass Pro Shop, Stapleton (N side of highway in new area) then leave at 10:15. We have a pickup (another MINI) at 11:15 in Ft. Morgan, right off the highway. Then onwards.

We have no real hurry as the time predicted is about 4.5 hrs and we have nearly 7 to work with. Sounds like lunch in Sydney...
