Tomorrow morning Margaret & I fly to Monterey, CA to enjoy a couple of days vacation before picking up GP #0203, and then hitting the road on MINI Takes The States!
I’ve packed – I found “chili red” and a “thunder blue” luggage, and I’m also accompanied by Quack Quack Jack:
QQJ ready for MINI Takes The States
Quack Quack Jack is a tribute to Ed Smith, a friend to all including so many people worldwide in the MINI community – and QQJ has travelled the world over the last year – he just got back from a trip to Alaska! Now he will travel coast to coast on MINI Takes The States.
QQJ has his own travel booklet – hopefully MINI owners across the country will leave messages for others to read; just find me and QQJ!x
M&I / GBMINI 
Safe travels Ian, will look forward to seeing GPMINI….
Have an absolutely wonderful trip! Hopefully I will meet up with you in Nashville.. Good Luck and safe travels to you both.
See ya in a few days… RB
cya ian have fun i know you will 🙂 miss you 😦
drive safe now (in my fav mini) go safe too
I can think of no better adventure for QQJ! No doubt, if Ed were still with us, he would have deftly cajoled a certain GP owner into letting him ride shotgun for the entire journey.
Hopefully, you will take many photos of your journey including QQJ in front of some memorable sights along the way.
See you in NJ.

I will see you in Nashville and then Jersey City. Look for Phil Wicks and me promoting the Minnie Pearl Challenge charity event in Nashville scheduled for November 4th. Come by and get a free postcard with Phil’s autograph. I will even mail it for you!
Have a safe trip!
Ian,
See you in Jersey City. Safe travels.
