Hey Emily,
That's great you're coming along.
Anytime you want to get out of that big truck and trailer and do some twisties in a classic Mini
, just ask. Me and my Classic will be somewhere in the the pack or on one of the side roads (not along side the road) all the way to Connecticut.
We meet in Vegas last March, the all silver Mini.
See you all down the road,
Keith

Outstanding news! Southern Cal isn't very different than AZ, sort of. Anyhow do an homage to Forrest Gump name the column "Stupid is as Stupid does" the true adventures of Stoopidgirl as she crosses the nation and more. If you like it use it if not I at least got to say it. I'll have my POS camera taking shots so I hope to see lots of the real stuff from you. I figure anything not shot by you will look like cave painting in comparison. Don't let them make you ride in the 18wheeler. You've got to drive a Mini everyday. See you on the road.
Hiya StoopidGirl,
Hey right on, jsut what LA needs, one more driver....hehehehe, pardon my sarcasm, just making a fun local joke. Well, check you all out and stuff, moving out to the great land that is SoCal. As someone who was born and raised here in LA, let me tell ya, you'll love it. This is a GREAT city, if you don't think it's all about disneyland and hollywood blvd.
I wish you the best of luck in your move to LA. Any idea where you are going to be landing? If you'll be with the Fireballed guys, I assume you'll be hanging down in the South Bay area. Nice down there, but you have to motor a bit to get to the twisties
Please send me a PM when you get settled. I purchased a set of your WAY COOL eyes for my MCS "Floyd", now I have some ideas of other thigns to do. Maybe now that you'll be here, I can talk ya into some "custom" eyes.
Best of luck, and welcome to The City of Angels.

wow I leave the thread for like 2 seconds and great googily moogily! Look at all the replies. Thanks guys. Some of you are cracking me up.
I will be in LA this coming weekend, landing in torrance/El Segundo area and then hopping on board the caravan. At some point during this trip I'm sure I will have a MINI to drive...maybe even the new "special" fast ones! weeeeeeee
PS
I had no idea I was such a celebrity, I'm just doing what I enjoy so it warms my little heart to know how many people enjoy it! Thanks guys and much love. (now all I have to do is find a job when MTTS is over...eek! hahahaha!)

That is so awesome that you're doing what you love. Don't ever sell out and convince yourself a steady paycheck and medical insurance are worth it... they're not.
I so wish I could join MTTS and bring you guys some Sweetwater Blueberry Beer (yum, yum), but my vacation calendar is already taken up through the new year, so I just couldn't do it this year...
To all other Atlantans going, you can definitely find that sweet little beer at Mink's on Delk Road in Marietta... or if you happen upon one on your journey, Taco Mac restaurant is sure to have them.
Have fun on your new adventure!

Sorry you can't make it Skurvy...thanks for the tips
Disc-how so? I settled on a simple title due to what motor Trend is looking for . I think it's just going to be "Words from MINI Takes the States" gotta please the masses :P fine with me I'm just happy to be doing it

i was just kidding, was trying to make a reference to the Sopranos and other Mafia-esque things us Italian-Americans from Jersey have become accustomed to these days. i for one like the name








once you get to Lime Rock you should be fine though
