It should be fun. If I have my MINI by then I may just go on the 1st leg. That's a beautiful drive! :)

Mini takes the States
 

We are signed up for the last 2, DC-Jersey and Jersey to CT.

Perhaps we should have a different thread for each leg?

griff

dunno about that. would make it a little hard for those people doing the whole thing. :razz:

But it's going to be awesome!

:D :D :D
Janell

I am in for DC-to-Jersey City and then to Connecticut. Looking forward to the long route from DC to NJ via Gettysburg - that should be awesome....

Gonna pick up a VacuCam for this one - for sure !!!:thumbsup:

BUT....my poor arm will be so tired from waving!!!

Bill

count 278 on the first leg, cool. Although I only signed up for that one, there is a slight chance I can't stop myself at the end of it.:razz:

Signed up for the first leg. Will be driving down the morning of :thumbsup:, see ya there!

very sick!

I'm looking forward to seeing if I'll be the only EB/EB MINI out there. Not too many people go for the body color roof/mirrors. :grin: :nod:

in other words, keep an eye out for me!

Janell

That would be a blast. I watched a show on Discovery HD about Mustangs and they did a "Mustangs Across America" driving from CA to TN (not quite all the way but a nice long trip). Looked like a lot of fun.
Maybe I'll try the DC to NJ to CT portion if I'm not working those days.

We will be at the LA event. We have a vendor booth and look forward to meeting everyone. Look for Veloce Performance, we'll have some fun AND fast stuff!
