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!

Motoring Alliance

Another MINI website, another nice “fridge magnet”; a nice badge from Motoring Alliance … though it didn’t quite make it to my “favorites area”:

(but I still don’t like the thickness and quality of Cooper Flags badges as much as those from Motoring Badges (note left edge of Motoring Alliance badge above, where the sticker started to peel off the magnet backing when I tried to peel off the protective sheet)
