Are You Ready for Las Vegas!!

Who will step up and organize the "MINI" carvan down into Vegas ?
Anyone? Anyone?

I will be coming down from Portland early Wednesday morning and stay the night somewhere close by the starting point near East Bay MINI.
I have my own friends and outlaws that want to know when and where.
This year I'll be in my 'Yellow Drop". I'm planning to meet up with NorCal MINIs and maybe some REME for the run down to Fresno to meetup with MedCal MINIs and then picking up MINIs all along the way to Vegas.

So, who's going?? Should we start a "Roll Call"?

Let me know,
And stay safe!!
Keith

 

You're not bringing the classic this year?

 

If Kat still wants to give me a ride to Vegas will meet with you...

Can't wait!
Sue

 

I will be posting the Fresno-Vegas caravan portion soon.

 

Nope,
I love that car, but "Oh" the miles I did in MTTS and why push my luck with it .
MTTS was once in a life time for me and my Classic.
Hopefully the next MTTS, I'll have my 2008 BRG MINI Traveller.

And sometimes you just want to be one of the crowd, yea right .

Hope the folks from Bishop, CA come down with their Classic. They have a real sweet Classic .

See you soon,
Keith

 

Keith,

You will never be "just one of the crowd"..... forever an inspiration!

 

Keith, you can't win "favorite car" at AMVIV with the Classic if the classic doesn't attend!
I'm planning on having mine at Palace Station.

 

Hi Keith......

Larry & Tammi are back in the East Bay now, so we should be
getting something together for the trip down sometime soon.

Hope all is well in the wet NorthWest corner of our great country!

Rick

 

Hey Rick,

Wet, Wet NorthWest? The high today was 36 deg and sunny!!!
I'll be down there sometime Wed. (3/21) afternoon.
Just found out most of all the road buddies from MTTS will be coming to Vegas, Yea baby!!!
We all haven't been together for over 7 months.

It's going to be great motoring with you guys and everybody else,
can't wait.

Till then, be safe,
Keith

 

Brrrr....
the high was 36? when i got home a little bit ago....(look at the time of this post).......
my outside temp read 33 degrees and everything in the parking lot
here at the condo was frozen over completely. Still, a daytime high of 36 is
bloody cold!

See you soon........Motor Safe

Rick

 

Here in Vegas, it was actually SNOWING at lunchtime! Some of the flakes may have made it to the ground on my side of town, but I'm sure the west side has some accumulation. I moved here from Nebraska to get away from this white crap, and it's snowed 5 out of the 6 calendar I've been here!

 

Hey Ag......

i've heard that it's been so cold there at one time that the big
fountain in front of The Mirage froze up......

NOW THAT'S COLD

 

Now You Did It Keith........

that cold weather you had blew down here and
now it's freezing cold, windy, and sunny here
in the Bay Area....and for the next few days too

Rick

 

Lets all blame it on Keith

 

We'll be there, wouldn't miss it

Nik

 

And that fountain has a VOLCANO in the middle of it!!!

 

Hey just don't forget on your way down call me I want to join the caravan.

 

Hey Guys,
Todays high was 33 deg and sunny and you didn't want to be in the shade !!!

No Sandie, I won't forget you .

Keith

 

At 1am this morning, my MINI told me it was 28. I moved to Vegas to get away from the cold!

 

Greetings again Keith......

You have a place lined up to stay Wednesday night
when you get into town?

Carol is forwarding all inquiries about group travel to
AMVIV from this area to me as she and Greg are not
going this year. I have contacted some of the NorCal
members already and they are going to be keeping an
eye on this thread as we establish a departure time from
East Bay Mini really early on Thursday morning the 22nd.

Soooooooo..................let me know how things are doing
up there and I'll be in touch soon my friend.

Rick

 

MID CAL caravan info.

We met them last year and had breakfast.

Who is up for a early start ???


>>> QUOTE
MidCal AMVIV Caravan-Thursday March 22nd
We will meet up at Denny's for a 9:30am sharp departure.

Denny's
1121 Parkway Drive, Fresno
Next to the Days Inn.
Its off of Hwy. 99 and Olive Ave. Parkway is the Frontage road on the westside of 99, and is 1/2 block south.

I will be there at 8am for breakfast.

We will head to Visalia, and then Bakersfield to pick up others that want to join us.
Visalia-99 and Caldwell, at the Shell Station.
Bakersfield-58 and Weedpatch, at Taco Bell.

From there we will head to Barstow to meet up with any SoCal MINI's.
Should be the Outlet Mall, as always.

Then on to Vegas

Brad

 

I just checked Mapquest ..

2 1/2 hours from East Bay Mini to dennys Fresno.

So if we want to eat breakfast with MID CAL it looks like 6 AM at East bay

Thats 2 1/2 hours of travel time and 1 hour to eat.

 

I see that there are several caravans being organized for the migration to Lost Wages (AMVIV4). Looks like there will be a bunch from REME, NorCal, MidCal, MINI Mavericks, and others. Looks like people will be departing at different times and on different dates. It's always more fun and safer to travel in a group.

Perhaps it would be wise to establish a "central" thread on NAM and list the days of the week, and who from northern California is leaving. This would give everyone a chance to find a group to join up with.

Great Idea Norm

Carol & I won't be leaving until Thursday morning early and I'm
sure that there will be others heading down earlier in the week.

If anyone ends up in Fresno Wednesday Night, we will be setting up a dinner. Not sure where yet. If interested let me know.
