Any Road Rally’s set-up in Los Angeles for the near future?

 

I'm game

 

I have been thinking about this a long time but never thought that we would get alot of minis in LA. Lets do this !!!

Sometime mid January maybe ??

 

there are TONS of mini's in LA i counted 12 yesterday and 10 today!
of course it depends where in LA you are the quality of cars seem to follow the income level of the cities. sad but true

 

Heck, I live in West L.A. and see tons of MINIs every day. Almost as many as all the Prii I see toodling around...

I'm going to move this thread to the SoCal forum where it will get more interest.

 

How come you and I have never run into each other?

I live in Palms and I'm often motoring through Santa Monica, Westwood, and Culver City..

 

palms? i live in westwood

i'm game too! moala has runs periodically that i want to join up sometime

 

I am around Wilshire and Bundy every day.

 

BTW , MOALA is having a long drive on Dec 30th. Should be 20-40 Minis. It was last time I went on a run with them. Very well orgernized .

Probably because I travel out of town so often? Which Trader Joe's do you go to? I go to the one on Palms & Sepulveda.

I live up the hill from Venice & Centinela (which becomes Bundy at National by the SM Airport).

 

Count me in.

 

Sounds like fun.

We are in Thousand Oaks. See a bunch of Minis here too.

Looks like we will have some players, great! I think I will call this rally “The 1st MMR (Montrose Mini Rally). I do not have all the details down yet, but I will give you the nuts and bolts for now. (1) This will be a “Course Marker Rally”. The Rally Master has signs placed along the intended route - some signs have information which you copy onto your scorecard (for scoring) and others have course-following information. The sign markers you copy on your scorecard distinguish among teams who traveled the correct route. (2) The route will be something like this; from Montrose, 210 fwy to 5 fwy north. 126 west to the Pacific Coast Highway going south then back to the finish at Montrose. Of course the route will be more laid-out (& not all freeway driving) when things are finalized. I think this path should keep us out of most heavy traffic areas and include some great scenic driving along the way. (3) The day will most likely be a Sunday in January or February 2008. I will need help making this rally work, so if you can contribute let me know how. Here are some help areas; (A) Trophy’s for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place are needed, (B) Someone that can help me set-up a “MMR” web site (as opposed to “MySpace”) to track entries & rally details, etc. I am trying to keep the Rally at a no-cost or very low-cost event for everyone that wants to have some motoring fun with their Mini Cooper buddies, so any help will keep the cost down. I will post more detail later…

 

Im in the OC but I think I would be interested too.

 

The one on Culver (or Washington, depending which entrance you go into). It's right by the Pacific Theatres. I like that Trader Joe's cuz it always has plenty of covered parking.

 

Bruin?

I graduated in '05. I go to Westwood every now and then to pick up cookies from Diddy Riese. Soooooo yummy...

 

Sounds like a good time!

 

coolio, sounds like fun. The course marker rally idea sounds interesting.

It was 3 cookies and a milk for a buck when I was at UCLA (+0.10 per cookie for macadamia).

 

Bruin here!

I live between Palms and Venice in the Woodmere. I've seen quite a few MINIs around these parts. Wave if you see me (pics in gallery)!

 

bruin here, too

i've seen your car a few times and saw you in traffic once while i was in my car turning left onto westwood from santa monica. we waved, which was pretty amusing to my gf sitting next to me. i was in a cr/w mcs

there used to be a gp that i see regularly in the area, too

 

Awesome! I don't remember, but if I waved, I must have seen you. I find that the MINI wave isn't so popular in the Westwood area, at least from my experience.

I saw a GP (only one so far) going down Wilshire .. a guy in his mid 20's with a female passenger.

Do you have a Facebook by any chance??

Oh, and the Road Rally sounds fun!
