From the State Dept web page:

CANADA - Passport or proof of U.S. citizenship and photo ID required. Minors (under 16) traveling alone or in someone else's custody, must present written authorization, signed before a notary, from the parent(s) or guardian. Visas are not required for visitors staying up to 180 days. Anyone with a criminal record (including a DWI charge) should contact the Canadian Embassy or nearest Consulate General before travel. U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport. For student or business travel, check with the Canadian Embassy, 501 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 (202/682-1740) or nearest Consulate General: CA (213/346-2701), MI (313/567-2085), NY (212/596-1700 or 716/858-9501), or WA (206/443-1375). Internet: http://www.canadianembassy.org

So no passport needed if you enter from the US. Now as for getting back into the US:

PASSPORTS: U.S. citizens who travel to a country where a valid passport is not required will need documentary evidence of their U.S. citizenship and identity. Proof of U.S. citizenship includes an expired U.S. passport, a certified (original) birth certificate, Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, or Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States. To prove identity, a valid driver's license or government identification card are acceptable provided they identify you by physical description or photograph. However, for travel overseas and to facilitate reentry into the U.S., a valid U.S. passport is the best documentation available and unquestionably proves your U.S. citizenship.

Here's the link.

I surely do not want to discourge anyone from attending what most certainly will be great time, just because they don't have a passport. MME2003 is still 6+ months away, plenty of time to get one. As for me, I would rather take a passport as opposed to my original birth certificate.

I don't mean to discourage anyone from bringing all of the documentation that'll fit in the MINI's glovebox...but by personal experience...thirteen times since 1990...the only thing that I have placed into the hands of a customs officer (Canadian and US) has been my drivers license and only a few times. That includes post-9/11...

Just leave the fireworks and firearms at home, and keep the the alcohol and tobacco at the limits allowed. Believe me, the Canadians WANT you to visit (spend money) and the US wants you back.

It's not Iraq folks, they are damn friendly people and glad to have you! ENJOY!

paddy · Nov 9th, 2002, 08:36 AM

your signatures are just fantastic. I love every one of them. If I remember correctly you are in the custom graphics/art business, am I correct????

COOPERation · Nov 9th, 2002, 08:51 AM

I design things like this for garments (t-shirts, sweats, etc.) and then they are produced in our screen printing and embroidery plant in Frederick.

Thanks for the compliment and I hope to meet you soon at a MINI meet.

Cheers!

spadsept · Nov 12th, 2002, 02:37 AM

I don't wan't to put oil on the fire, but for me it's a 15 min walk to downtown or 2 min in coop S...

It's worth it a lot!!! Come and see minis without front license plate...

A lot of energy and fun during GP weekend and now we have also the Indy weekend!!! ( i even did put my Old Mustang on display... )

I would also suggest a meet in Montreal instead of Magog... The latter is nice thought, but in fall... I'll post picts soon of my test drive in Magog land during the fiery color season!!!

See ya in MTL... Don't forget to bring a french dictionary

and yes we like american tourist, specialy "mini lovers"...

paddy · Nov 12th, 2002, 08:35 PM

Hope to meet you next summer.

I travel to our neighbor to the north from time to time. Bring the passports, it most likely will not make getting into Canada any easier but it will help proving you belong on the U.S. side of the boarder when you return.

Just had to move it out of the dungeon and back into the light. May be this will generate a little more interest.

spadsept · Jan 13th, 2003, 11:52 PM

Well... i still live in Montreal... So i'll be keeping an eye on this event!

nwoodiwiss · Jan 14th, 2003, 12:09 PM

My buddy and I will be driving two MCS to the Gran Prix in June...would love to have a MINI meet at a location near downtown...keep me posted...

Giving this thread a well deserved bump!

paddy · Feb 5th, 2003, 12:35 AM

147 days left before MME '03

MGB Boy · Feb 5th, 2003, 09:23 PM

I'm up in the air about MME, Magog is only about two hours away, but that week in July is a busy busy time, so I'm not sure I can swing it. But all in favor of something else at the Grand Prix (had my tix since November)...
