    Sounds like fun. I like the disclaimer about not being officially associated with MINI or BMW. Gotta keep those lawyers off your back :Thumbsup:

    Motor on...

    jbkoopa, we are in FL currently. The Road Trip doesn't start until April 27th. We will be motoring up for MINIs on the Dragon 2010 and then start heading west. I'll try to remember to PM you when we get to LA though. :D

    imspencerwithanr53, I will be getting one of the MINI Roof Racks soon...just as soon as that Tax Return gets here. :Thumbsup:

    If anyone has any tips or suggestions for our route/trip, please feel free to post them up. The current route is not set in stone, and will probably change a few times before the trip begins. But that is the general direction anyway.

    I think this sounds like an amazing trip, and I wish you guys the best. Me, there's no effing way I could take a trip this long 4 up in a MINI!

    Take more pics this time, OK?

    Minidave, oh we plan on taking a bunch of pics this time. We (or rather I) had a slight camera mishap last year, and had to purchase a new camera in the middle of the road trip. Lame! I'm still waiting for the other guys' pictures from last year too. The ones on the site are just from me.

    jbkoopa, we actually are planning to hit up Vegas! :D Camping just outisde the city or at least close to.

    We also plan on doing daily videos (in HD too!) which will also be posted on the website/youtube/facebook/twitter/myspace, ect. ect.

    Here is a map and destinations as of right now: .::4 Guys and a MINI::. Road Trip Plans

    It's a work in progress, but we will follow that general route.

    You might consider Vimeo to post Vids, I have a friend who posts his in-car race vids there and the quality is quite a bit better than You Tube, and no 10 minute limit either.

    Sounds to me like the new Countryman would be perfect for this trip. You could keep extra cameras on the center track.

    Due to some time and money restraints, we had to shorten up the route just a tad. No more California or Vegas on the to do list this time. The time we would have had to spend there wouldn't give it any justice, so we decided to cut it out all together and leave it for another time.

    .::4 Guys and a MINI::. Road Trip Plans

    Still planning on going to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, etc. etc.

    The Countryman would be a perfect car yes, if it wasn't so werid looking! lol I love my MINI too much to part with it right now.

    Looks to be epic, I've always wanted to give cross country a go. How long do you have to do all this?
