1 week down, about 8 more days to go. If you are still running, don’t worry, you are almost there!
I actually wanted to take this time to recap the week in pictures. There are lots of excellent pictures getting posted around the MINI Community and I wanted to get a few samples posted here!
Today, Todd is on his way home after participating on the first 5 stops of MTTS. He gives us his thoughts on the event and, of course, his new GP.
But don’t think our coverage is going to stop here! Fireball Tim will be on-the-MTTS-road correspondant from here on. And, if you like, you can too. If you are participating in MTTS, even only 1 leg, feel free to call in to the voicemail line at (206) 33-WHITE with your experience and we’ll post that later next week!

On his journey from New Mexicon to Amarillo, Texas, Tim had a run in with something that actually caused the run flat tire to go flat!
But, who came to his rescue? That’s right a Cooper owner! Becky was kind enough to loan Tim her spare for the GP. Tim said the wheel was a little scratched, but not bad. And, he was able to get everything fixed up by MINI Roadside in Amarillo.
Big Thanks to: Becky Smyth, S. Carolina (She’s the blonde that gave us the tire!) Re’ne Bynum, Texas Keith LeWarne, California John Griffin, Studio City, CA Greg and Marcia Sorini, San Diego, CA

Todd gets some mic time with one of our favorite MINIUSA execs, Jeff Stracco! They discuss MTTS, the GP and Jeff even asks Todd some questions.
They also have a great discussion about the R56 (’07), competition for the MINI and a few other things. Definitely worth checking out!
Big thanks to Jeff, and everyone else at MINIUSA, for taking the time to talk with us!

Wow! What an awesome event!
As it turns out, I did go on to Las Vegas and I have to say that MINIUSA is doing a great job in putting on this event. Top notch the entire way!
Oh yea, I got to ride in Todd’s GP. No, he didn’t let me drive it, but I was good with a ride. And, I’m with everyone else on those wheels. Pictures don’t even come close to doing them justice. They look awesome, as does the color.
Finishing off this update again with Fireball Tim, who grabbed Andrew Cutler, who talked to us for a bit between washing cars
