STXMINI

I would be in for the Seattle back to the DMV. I'm willing to drive to a central location for pick up. $1000 would be my ideal price range, but that may be unrealistic. An open trailer is fine by me, but my main concern (Of course) is insurance. Will we have to sign waivers releasing them of all liability if the car is damaged by them? In my research I've found that some carriers make you do this. I'm a little nervous about transport after what happened to Susan K's OG Mini in transit to her, thankfully her carrier is paying for her damage.

I just wanted to thank @Widdie (David) for keeping us all safe yesterday. We had some bad weather that created patchy spots on the roads, but I felt safe during the entire run. Driving on the backroads, with the snow in the trees, was a different kind of beauty, I really enjoyed the drive!

We're looking forward to meeting you and your friends! We'll have a brief driver's meeting before we get started. And then off we'll go.

I can do some calling around to get pricing, it looks like the biggest interest is shipping our cars home, so that's where I'll start. I also read that several people's MINI were not delivered in time for the 2022 MTTS and they had to rent non MINI cars for the rally, another good reason to drive out and ship home. Other people in our area, but not in our club, have also expressed an interest in shipping their cars so I'm confident we could fill a truck.

They've really went up a notch in their food in the past year, Mike and I really enjoy going to this place, looking forward to this run.

Awesome! Glad Corey caught that and we were able to get the notice up on sm before the rooms were all gone.

Understandable, I've booked my hotels but I'm still on the fence. Mike has said that he will not be joining for this one and I can't drive that much by myself, so we'll see....

I too am a Marriott warrior, everything is booked except Seattle. Nobody is sure if MINI USA is going to do something in Seattle or not. And the SLC to Bozeman 2 day stretch. Because we're on our own there, I'm not sure where I might stop, I've been to most of that area before and want to see something new. Do you plan to drive out?

They won't cap registrations. The biggest issue will be getting hotels at a later date in some of those smaller cities, like Missoula MT & Yakima WA. If you're even considering going, I'd book hotels with free cancellations sooner rather then later.
