MINIs Take The States - 2008

Well, it looks like MINIUSA are planning something for next summer! However, this time they are looking for input for the nature, route, and format for the event.

Barry Brazier (Publisher - MC2 Magazine) sent out a message which I quote below:

Just a quickie, as I need this topic plastered, linked and talked about as much as we possibly can to get information collected.

I recently was given some insight into the MTTS (MINI Takes the States) for 2008, and what MINI's cooking up. I've put it into MOTORING FUN - MINI Cooper Chat & Blog as an intro and that leads to our site.

Or, you can go directly to Welcome to MC2 Magazine and enter our forum. For you newbies you'll have to register to post your thoughts. As you'll read, we have about a 30-day lead on the official release of this info, so maybe we can help get our 2 cents into the hopper first...

Also, you'll notice we're planning a major run in Washington States, very near "global HQ" (snicker...) so I would love to see you look at that too please.

BTW, we're running a "contest" for photos to use in our 2008 mini calendar, so if you have great photos, you know where to send them.

If you need me...

Barry

Note: You may need to register on the forum to read the thread...not sure.

It will be interesting to see what develops...

Sorry I missed you on our swing by this summer.

That's ok, we'll see you at MTTS 2008.

Theo,

Thanks for posting this thread. I'm surprised it hasn't generated a bigger response.

BTW. I think this thread should be made sticky.

[AprilWhine]

Just keep handling it with those jelly fingers!

But seriously, needs a date to be a sticky thread.

As soon as Jim McDowell calls me with a date, I'll let you know!

As long as there is enough of an advance notice, so that I can work out the time off from work I'm there. I missed last years because of the late July delivery of my car/ break in period. Then I was going to go to the Sept Lime Rock event and had an emergency come up and was unable to attend.

[GMINI]

Go to Owner’s Lounge and V O T E !

Geeze guys. The discussion has dropped. So how about giving me response to this within 48hrs. I'd like to see this thread unstickied until a more local spin can be entered into the title. That is to say, if a caravan to a Big Bang or a Local Event for Option 3 is in the talks. Something locally organized.

MTTS really is a corporate national event, especially if it follows the formula of 06. Thus this thread shows no urgency to merit valuable sticky space over 6 months in advance.

[Theo]

Didn't even know it was "stickied!"

wow. are you a charter member of the OGMC, or what?
