MINI Takes the States - who's going?

Just wondering. I'm going to make the first leg, of course. Considering it runs straight through where I live... hehe.

August 21st to September 4th, 2006

There are 15 legs, going from Monterey, CA to Lakeville, CT.

_1_ 8/21 - Monterey, CA to Santa Barbara, CA
_2_ 8/22 - Santa Barbara, CA to Los Angeles, CA to Las Vegas, NV
_3_ 8/23 - Las Vegas, NV to Kingman, AZ to Flagstaff, AZ with alt. route on Rte 66 (adds 2 hrs to travel time)
_4_ 8/24 - Flagstaff, AZ to Gallup, NM to Albuquerque, NM with alt. route on Rte 66
_5_ 8/25 - Albuquerque, NM to Amarillo, TX with alt. route through Santa Fe and Las Vegas, NM (adds an hour)
_6_ 8/26 - Amarillo, TX to Wichita Falls to Dallas, TX with alt. route to Palo Duro Canyon (adds an hour)
_7_ 8/27 - Dallas, TX to Little Rock, AR to Memphis, TN with alt. route through Hot Springs, AR (adds an hour)
_8_ 8/28 - Memphis, TN to Nashville, TN
_9_ 8/29 - Nashville, TN to St. Louis, MO with alt. route through Cadiz, KY (adds an hour)
_10_ 8/30 - St. Louis, MO to Indianapolis, IN
_11_ 8/31 - Indianapolis, IN to Cincinnati, OH to Lexington, KY to Charleston, WV with alt. route on Rte 52 (adds an hour)
_12_ 9/1 - Charleston, WV to Charlottesville, VA with alt. route on Skyline Dr or Blue Ridge Pkwy (adds ~ an hour)
_13_ 9/2 - Charlottesville, VA to Richmond, VA to Washington, DC with alt. route on Skyline Ridge (adds an hour)
_14_ 9/3 - Washington, DC to Philadelphia, PA to Jersey City, NJ with alt. route through Gettysburg, PA
_15_ 9/4 - Jersey City, NJ to Brewster, NY to Lakeville, CT

There's registration on MINIUSA.com, but I don't know the names of most people on here, so I'm asking *here*!

Who's going? And which legs?

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?

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

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.

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.

in other words, keep an eye out for me!

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!
