View where everybody is coming from (hometown) on an interactive (zoom, pan, change terrain) Google Map, located in the MITM website.

Be sure to scroll up to view our Drivers and Passengers from Calgary, Alberta, CANADA. There is a mixture of MINIs and classic Minis plus vendors and their employees coming from 21 separate U.S. States plus Canada!

With the registration deadline past, is that the final count (147 drivers)?

 

Should there be a stick pin in the Map if you are registered? If no stick pin am I not registered? Addison Miller & Passenger paid 5/4/09

 

Your pin is stuck out in west texas. I'm wondering if they had the wrong zip code for Pearland.

 

We were laughing at that pin placement! Never knew Pearland was in the Hill Country!

 

To maintain privacy, only the PayPal registered address (city, state) was used (no names), along with Driver, Passenger, etc. The counts will vary slightly, as the map list and the official registration are two separate lists. This is just for your amusement only. Google Maps did not have enough information to put a pin right over your house (thankfully). Just a little bit of eye candy.

Hey, we don't expect over the house, but Google put the poor people 300 miles away! Not a complaint to you, Rick. Just a good laugh at the inadequacies of internet maps! (FYI, Pearland is South of Houston, part of the greater Houston area. Heck, Pearland is even on their map! Their pin has the Pearland people in the center of the state!)

 

What I wonder is how did they know the wife and I are looking in the Hill Country for our retirement re-location. Where was my pin -? perhaps it is a sign! ajm

 

Your pin is west of Brady! Not the most scenic part of Texas!

 

The AZ group will be a small one this year. But those of us that are going are the die hards! I've attended every year and don't plan to stop anytime soon! Afterall, Colorado is my birth state! Can't wait to see everyone!

 

And we can't wait to see you! Just think of how cool the days and nights will be when you get here. Die hards rule!

 

Sorry, but a few addresses from the registration information caused Google Maps to get lost. Until I fixed our records, the Pearland zip code was 9 digits without the dash. Not being in zip+4 format caused Google Maps to gag (try it). I've corrected it and I now know where Pearland, TX is located!

 

The driver is in Pearland, but the passenger (spouse?) was left behind in the middle of Texas!! Does Google know something??? Just kidding, Rick. Looking forward to getting the heck outta Dodge (Port Neches, in this case)! Been a stressfull 2 months with a sick dog and I have to have something to laugh at!

 

I can't wait to get on the road, either.

I just typed up a quote to fabricate a Mounting Flange for a customer, and I typed "Mountain Flange".
Is my subconscious trying to tell me something?

 

Coming from Atlanta, I leave on Monday. See you there.

 

Man, this is going from bad to worst! First my pin got moved back to Pearland adding several hundred miles to my trip. Then someone else posted this quote so Elaine (wife) could see it. So now, not only do I have to depart from way farther South but now I have to drive out to West Texas anyway to pick her up. You guys know this is all in fun - right? ajm

 

The Carolina Guys, Luke & John and Beautiful Cindy from SC are on the road in 5 minutes. Its saturday 0540 in the morning and we are pulling out of the driveway. Also WayMotorWorks express delivery from Atlanta is on the move.

 

Yes, all in fun. We'll have to talk with the Google man about your pin dragging incident. If we all used nothing but latitude and longitude instead of addresses with a ZIP Code, your pin would stay put, probably right over your house. But lat/long does not work with the US Post Office deliveries. Maybe it should.

 

in West Texas. Can you get her too?????

JPS

 

Sorry We are already in Amarillo with the Clubman pointed up 287. No turning back now. ajm
