MotoringFile MINI Takes the States is Here – Are You Attending?

If MINI USA has their hands on it count me out.

 

The organizers must not like Texas, because the route never comes close. I don't think it is possible to make the route more unfriendly to MINI owners in Texas.

First one went through Dallas.

 

That was ten years ago, a year before my MINI was even built. That doesn't matter to me now.

Weren't there three Texas stops in 2014?

 

Okay, my bad. I missed the previous MTTS events that went through Texas. I guess I should pack the R56 for Sioux Falls. Should only take 20-something hours. I hear it's a real party town.

No, do the Cheyenne stop, then head back down to Texas, it will be a hoot, well sponsored by the MOL folks out of Loveland.

Ahh, no. The California desert in the dead of summer. No.

 

Ah, good ole' Wyoming, where men are men, and sheep are women. :skep:

So, you have been to Wyoming I see. :cornut:

 

Does MTTS have any relevance anymore? During the 1st gen years, MINI were unique and scarce, and owners were a small dedicated cult. MINIUSA could organize an event for the cult that would also promote the brand. Nowadays, the brand is mainstream and I can't picture the buyer of a Countryman or 4-door F55 feeling that they are joining the "MINI community" or being attracted to MTTS. Imagine "Miata Takes the States" vs "Mazda Takes the States".
