Popular Post 1975_mini Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted August 7, 2018 Starts saving you cans now, they are 10 cents a piece in Michigan. So it's about 1600 miles round trip from my house to the Mack. 1600 miles divided by 30 miles to the gallon (ballpark) = 54 gallons of gas, yes i rounded up. 54 gallons of gas x $3.00 a gallon (again ballpark) = $162.00 $162.00 divided by 10 cents a can = 1620 can The average can crushed reduces a can volume from 23 cubic inches to 10 cubic inches so that's 16200 cubic inches or 9.375 cubic feet A coupe has 9.8 cubic feet of cargo space leaving me like half a cubic foot for clothes. Lets just ignore the fact that it is illegal to return cans from another state in Michigan. 4 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
Goose Posted August 10, 2018 Report Posted August 10, 2018 I believe I’ll be going...but the stars have to align in order for that to happen. Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)
Brandy_Brown Posted August 10, 2018 Report Posted August 10, 2018 I will definitely be going, doing college tour on our way. Don't know the days we will leave and come home yet though. http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/image.php?u=1132&type=sigpic&dateline=1367319111
wyretrip Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Posted August 10, 2018 @AzFlower and I are definitely going.
Goose Posted August 23, 2018 Report Posted August 23, 2018 Booked the Quality Inn Lakefront...same as last year. I'll cancel if I can't go. But I'll do my best. The video above makes me want to go back. Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)

Brandy_Brown Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 Holy Crap, we just looked at prices for hotels and they are considerably higher than we paid before. This is looking like an over a $1000 trip for us. http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/image.php?u=1132&type=sigpic&dateline=1367319111

Brandy_Brown Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 Our biggest issue is we have to have 2 rooms since all 3 of the girls will be with us. Unless Caylee gets into the summer program at USC. The hotel we stayed at last year is 170 a night per room and we are staying for 3 days. Plus a day/ night in Detroit or Ann Arbor for college tour if she is with us. this year is going to be a tough year for anything http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/image.php?u=1132&type=sigpic&dateline=1367319111

NUTTY Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 Who is still going? We’re leaving on 8/1 and getting to just north of Ann Arbor on the first day. The next day, we’re driving over to near Lansing to meet up with a group that’s going to drive the Tunnel of Trees on the way to Saint Ignace. On 8/4, we’re going to meet up with the Canadian Bacon group and will run with them until the ferry to Newfoundland. After that, we’ll work our way home.
melissa99 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 I'm driving up on Friday 8/2 and meeting Sherri for dinner at Wienerlicious. No timeframe on that yet, but if anyone else wants to meet us there we can do a group text like we did last time. Heading back home Sunday morning.
Goose Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 We are heading up with Corinne and Devin on 8/2. Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)
wyretrip Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Posted July 25, 2019 Yeehaw! We'll be driving to Sandusky, OH 8/1 and arriving in St Ignace 8/2. I can create the group text when we head out! If you want to be included on the chat, send me a private message with your cell number!
Tiger's_Mom Posted July 27, 2019 Report Posted July 27, 2019 Looking for route recommendations. Both fast (if I have to drive it all on Friday) and slower, if I can get out of the office a tad earlier on Thursday.
Goose Posted July 29, 2019 Report Posted July 29, 2019 Current registrations.... If you are thinking of going, go. I don’t want the total cars to be less than 2015. Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)
