Yeah! We will start the planning early next year to get us all down to San Fran together for the start. This is the biggest MINI party you can get in the US.

I'll get busy sending MINI USA Maps of Google links as to the location of Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Tacoma, WA and Vancouver, BC.  It's clear that they are confused as to where these cities are located...

Honestly they did try. I don't know how hard they tried but they did try. They had 3 main areas of complaint... Florida, Texas, and the Puget Sound. Looks like Texas is well covered this time. Maybe we'll get ours in 2016?

I do plan on organizing a run to San Fran. Let's show some strength and show'em how it's done! The Alaska MINI Club will be joining us as well. We can explain their mistake in-person. I can't wait.

we might be up for the legs from San Fran to Austin...or at least Albuquerque since our son Brian lives there now. Good excuse to visit and Austin has to mean one thing COTA!

after some more thought we might even try to do this coast to coast. It's been awhile since we have done an epic family road trip and now with the extra room in the Countryman we might go all the way. Only way we could do it though would be a one way trip and have the car shipped back. I think Ryan had mentioned checking on a group rate haul back if enough people were going all the way. If so...that would be awesome. So how many would go all the way if we had them hauled back? Ryan...any idea what a per/car rate might be on the hauler and number of cars we would need to make it reasonable?

It'd be ~$1000 if you shipped it yourself. I'm working on bringing that down by a couple hundred bucks with a group rate. Have not done much work yet but will get on it in January.

August through Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and the upper Midwest-East would be torture...

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Ryan...I was kind of figuring around $750 with a full load...if we can get somewhere around there...

There was a bit of discussion on how to read the dates for MTTS that I wanted to share with you.

The dates on the map indicate an evening event and the night you are sleeping in that city. So, for example, there is a Reno event late evening on the 27th and you will check-in to the host hotel on the 27th and check-out on the 28th. That means if you plan to make it to Austin the event is on 8/1, check-in 8/1 with check-out 8/2.

Hope that helps. That's basically what happened last year but there was some confusion about when events started based on the dates. I have been told that every city has an evening event for those making the journey which would correspond with arriving into that city in-time to make the eventing event on the date on the map.

I've got the dates blocked out. Coast to coast. Love the idea of a filling a truck for the return. We should organize something special for the trip to San Fran too. Ore coast? Redwoods? Wine country?

I'm planning to do the whole thing too!  I've already got the vacation approved and some friends have expressed interest in joining me on various legs of the journey.  I'd like to add my car into the "ship it back pool".

Yes, I believe you will need a badge to get into the evening kick-off. I'll try to verify.

Just to show-up and watch us drive away in the morning though you can probably get away without registering. just don't eat my bagel.

I kind of find it hard to dish out $90 to just go to the one evening event! What would we get for it?

We registered and will go to the evening and morning. May go with you all to lunch in Sacramento/

This should be fun. I ran into a guy (named Ross) at home depot. He was driving a BRG Cabrio so I struck up a conversation about the club and he is going to do the MTTS. I invited him to join us in our pre run. We will see if a BRG Cabrio shows up with Ross at the wheel.

update on Ross at Home Depot

We were unable to "drive to the edge" so we attended the Seattle MINI unveiling and Ross approached me and said he will be joining us for the pre-MTTS. He intends to go all the way to Boston.

Welcome aboard Ross and your BRG cabrio.

Hi everyone.. remember there is a specific thread to discuss the Warm-Up Drive...

Another idea for stickers...could also do a windshield banner. Good in the sun and easy to identify if a fellow club member is behind you.
