Bump

 

I would definitely want to if it was in the summer or something. But in Sept/Oct I have to work and I have school full time... :(

 

More info? I'd be happy to meet up in the San Diego area.

 

It will end in SD, and most will be there for just one night before flying out of LAX.

PM me a regular e-mail address, and I'll let everyone know you'd like to hook up.

 

I PM'd.

 

Hmmm...I'll be in La Jolla on September 30 for a family function. Not sure if I'll have a chance to get away or not. Please email me more details, Jim. Thanks.

 

Will do Clo.

 

Talk about 'Southern Hospitality'!!
Be sure to show them your plate (and tell them what it means!)

Grommit, do you know if they'll be heading up Hwy1 to SF?

 

Yes. I'm in charge of providing the Navigation packages. They will travel north on Hwy-1 from Santa Monica, staying the night at San Simeon. Then up Hwy-1 to San Francisco for a couple days. Departing from Fort Point, up Hwy-101 across the Golden Gate to Hwy-37, and east to I-80. A dash across the valley to Sacramento, and Hwy-16. Over to the Plymouth area for some wine tasting. Then south on Hwy-49 to Hwy-120 (and up the new Priest Grade) to Yosemite, stopping briefly at Rainbow Pool. Sleeping at Yosemite, then back on Hwy-120 East to US-395 south, through Death Valley, Pahrump NV, onto Las Vegas for a couple days. Over to the Grand Canyon, then to Lake Havasu City for a night, then to San Diego.

 

I'll be here in fabulous Las Vegas. Actually, the 27th, I'm driving back from LA, but I should be back by about 1 or 2 pm.

 

I wish I could join them for the whole tour, but I already spent my vacation.

 

From the Sin City Mini Club newsletter:

This months MOTOR-IN will coincide with a group coming from all over the world called California Dream’in on Thursday, September 28th. We will be meeting at The Orleans for dinner and bowling. We will meet for dinner at the Buffet @ 6:30 pm. http://www.orleanscasino.com/restaurants/buffet.html. Followed by Bowling @ 7:30pm. Come out and show your MINI to those that will be touring the west coast from all over the world.

 

this sounds like it will be a blast...i hope it all works out for them.

 

Not really from all over the world. The UK, Eire, and the US.

 

I wish I could go. The schedule sounds great. Unfortunately, I have to be out east for business for nearly a month.

 

I'll be there, and I'm from Australia, so that's another country.
