MINI Takes The States registration
If you haven’t yet seen anything about MINI Takes The States (and here), the new limited edition MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works GP kit, GP delivery in Monterey, etc, where have you been? Not reading MotoringFile, obviously!
A big part of MINI Takes The States is to encourage MINI owners and clubs around the country to sign up and join in with part of the drive; visiting MTTS just now the “See Who’s Coming” button now works, listing the number & names of people signed up for each part of the drive (or the whole drive)!
Apparently almost 1300 people have signed up for at least part of the event:
Leg 1: 272 (Monterey to Santa Barbara)
Leg 2: 235 (Santa Barbara to Las Vegas)
Leg 3: 176 (Las Vegas to Flagstaff)
Leg 4: 157 (Flagstaff to Albuquerque)
Leg 5: 126 (Albuquerque to Amarillo)
Leg 6: 143 (Amarillo to Dallas)
Leg 7: 174 (Dallas to Memphis)
Leg 8: 166 (Memphis to Nashville)
Leg 9: 171 (Nashville to St.Louis)
Leg 10: 194 (St.Louis to Indianapolis)
Leg 11: 176 (Indianapolis to Charleston)
Leg 12: 181 (Charleston to Charlottesville)
Leg 13: 249 (Charlottesville to Washington, DC)
Leg 14: 274 (Washington, DC to Jersey City)
Leg 15: 300 (Jersey City to Lakeville)
Every Leg: 71!

I see the names - who do you want me to look up?

Thanks Paul … turns out my company proxy was breaking the display; it works OK on another PC so I’ve updated the entry

I noticed you’re signed up for a few legs.

Very few people have noticed that

Perhaps we will meet?

Hmm.
I’ve been wondering if you’re flying out to NorCal and are, perhaps, driving back to the east coast in a new MINI.
