Mahalo Jim for setting up the waze. Our local (LA) station has been advertising the Waze - so I signed up...

I do have the Escort Radar 9500ix GPS, so any marks I can assist well all " have each others back"... I was thinking to add their Escort-Live but its limited to only Escort Passport models... (Social network alerts) - Waze seems more easier to build the social empire....

 

MTTS - 2012 Looking forward to it too

Went to 2008 & 2010...
2010 - I ended up almost at 3 stops
SF, LA, almost to Phx (Since I got into it and drove almost all the way out to Bythe)... then I rejoined in Vegas! (Wish I went to Co that year!)

So I'm making it a point & taking days off to stop and spin the pavement!@

 

Yes, planning on making the whole trip in my new '11 MCS R56! See you all in New Jersey!

 

Corection....


as it gets closer Heading out from Ca to Midwest then to DC
So almost... Not quite The W E*



For now I'm adding
DC
Charlotte
Nashville
Louisville
Chicago
Des Moines
+
Remainder back 2 LA

 

OK, you got there. Now what?

For those doing the whole thing, assuming you have to return to the East Coast, what's your proposed route? For those starting on the West, what's your route to NJ?

We're looking at LA to San Francisco via Pacific Coast Highway. From there we plan on heading out I-80 toward Salt Lake City, then north to Rapid City, then head east.

Any recommendations for stuff to see and do, between SF and Salt Lake City, or SLC and Rapid City? Or along I-90 east of Rapid City? (I know about Badlands, Wall Drug, and the various spots around Rapid City).

Nice plate! Where'd you get the MTTS badge?

 

nice looking badge...

well, us simpler folks just have to shell out the $25 for the official MTTS badge

LOL

(and X2 minis...I wish I were crafty!)

pac:cornut:

 

You should add something distinctive - like your initials - within the design of the ones you make. So if you happen to see it on someone else's car you can claim it back.


The official badge won't be available until MTTS starts. Assuming they produce them, like they did for MTTS 2010.

 

Nathan -- Good Reminder to check AND re-CHECK the weather...

==================
Ran into bad weather last night enroute....

MTTS - GO EAST TO GO WEST

*Th--> Southern CA to Las Vegas, NV I15 - ** No Traffic/ got into LV very Late... Ok costed more to stop there :idea:
*Fr --> LV to Grand Junction, CO I15 to I70 (AZ, UT, CO) -w0w Breathtaking
--------- Besides a few bugs/ car had a few stops to clean the windshield
*SAt --> Grand J to Colby KS --
-------> Rockies spectacular views/topography -- I70 Vail * Breckenridge Etc
What a view & then some fun curves...
Watch for Policia (A few in Vail and enroute) And Bugs galore! The most dirtyiest car I ever had...
Stop in Colby KS - Washed the car at Car/Wash
*** news report 7-9pm storm (Exactly as indicated on the tube)---------------------------
Well OMG*F ----
A storm came in the whole view from the Hotel Room:
* Dust storm / Thunder / Lighting striking close the big Farm Towers
* Light Poles Shaking/ swaying seeing that it would be heading toward MINI
* Electricity (Looked up KS worst Tornado's on the Internet--"Y" route I70 shows up a few times...
So neverless car was dirty again (Duststorm, Thunder/Lightning/Rainstorm)
------------------------
*Sun finally in KC
Car Wash (to cleanup the dirty duststorm & bugs
( So working the next two dats - Monday/Tuesday in Kansas City at a client site)

-----------------------
So from there it's open & have reservations in both INDY and LOUISVILLE (Need to cancel one by tomorrow)"
I have a question to the group:

From KC To DC (Stop2) -

Would anyone recommend the Northern I70 Pittsburg or I70/I64 Louisville/Lexington Southern Route? Not for twisties but just to catch up (Night Driving/ Traffic/Toll/Road Repair), easier etc...

Any suggestions/ comments would be great (May need to stop then in INDY or Louisville)?

Thanks in advance?

 

P* thanks for the TIP... Sounds like the crawl/truckers up a highway is no fun... South "1" -------

Now, I checked the weather.com has a lot of Rain forcast (Hopefully that changes)

 

Thanks guys

 

Alohadee, Welcome to KC

 

:beer Mahalo - THank you!
Now, I've been to KC BBQ ("Oklahoma Joe's & Jack Stack), so it's much sweeter sauce... and I guess the MLB All Star's are coming next week too

I even stopped by Baron MINI (JCW Key Chain, Rubbish bag, etc..)
Ready to head out tonight though...

 

Awesome. I've actually never been to Oklahoma Joe's or Jack Stack... LOL
