Another few hundred miles of scenic driving today, through Utah and a little of Colorado.
Salt Lake City to Grand Junction
MTTS 2010 swag
It’s a curious collection of stuff being handed out at MTTS this year – starting with the bag itself which is supposed to be made from recycled MINI posters!
In addition to the large pin above, MINI are giving out a small pin at each overnight stop – I bet there will be some eBay selling for folks trying to collect the full set!
There’s also some nice purchasable stuff, including a metal plaque like the MTTS’06 one, and some better quality shirts (pics some other time!)
Today, we drove to Grand Junction … many MINIs have already left Salt Lake City for the Bonneville Salt Flats, but when it emerged that it will be a parade, led at a limited speed, and not a “free for all” – along with the issue of salt all over and under the car, and the fact that it’s a three hour detour, we chose not to go! Maybe they will let the MINIs get to 70mph, but I can legally go faster than that in Utah!
So instead we’re heading straight to Grand Junction, and more scenery!
MINI of Murray
We headed down to the MINI gathering for Salt Lake City, but it was rather disappointing – especially after last night! Food was a couple of sad looking wraps, or some chips … but there were a couple of nice classic Minis – and a very dirty GPMINI from the Mount Nebo drive!
