MINI Takes the States Release On Your Mark! Get Set! RALLY! The 2010 MINI TAKES THE STATES route is official. After motoring across the country and leaving no stone unturned and no road untraveled, we are pleased to announce the official rally route to Denver for MINI TAKES THE STATES 2010.
In each of the 5 kickoff cities the festivities will begin with an exclusive MINI owner’s only MINI Countryman preview
party, and other exciting activities as we rally from all points to the middle of the country (kinda’ sorta’). This summer’s event will not only bring the community together to celebrate owning a MINI but will also give owners and future owners the opportunity to preview the all new MINI Countryman, along every route.
Check out the routes by visiting the MTTS2010 on Facebook.
Get ready to rally.
IT’S A BIG COUNTRY. BE MINI.

<p>What a great way to end the Summer! SF to Denver here we come!!!</p>
<p>…THIS is going to NICE! I can’t wait…</p>
<p>Can’t wait, going to be legit!!!</p>
<p>That’s some nice planning – well done MINI</p>
<p>We’ll hook up in Dodge City and join the East drive in to Denver. Looking forward to it!</p>
<p>Should one have their U.S. Passport when on the L.A.-to-Phoenix-to-Las Vegas legs of this? 🙂 Maybe skipping AZ altogether would be best.</p>
<p>They should really skip Arizona.</p>
<p>This sounds great to me. I was hoping for a more northerly route from SF, but not too bad. I will be going from LA to LV direct though, extra day in Vegas and I’ll be able to skip AZ. Of course this is all contingent on the wife giving me the go ahead.</p>
<p>A track event near SF to kick it off? Cuz we’ve got some sweet tracks…</p>
<p>I’ll gladly bypass AZ as well. I won’t spend another cent in that state.</p>
<p>they should really skip AZ</p>
<p>Looks like it should be fun… nice to see all the Eastern routes connecting in my backyard. Sorry, but I don’t have enough room at my house to give you all a place to sleep.</p>
<p>Pittsburgh not Pittsburg, otherwise cant wait!</p>
<p>Love AZ! Visit the Navajo reservation again, Sedona, yum!</p>
<p>checked their website. No updates :(</p>
<p>AZ is kinda outta the way. Would rather cut AZ out and save my vacay days.</p>
<p>Keeping fingers crossed for a Philly stop of some kind. PhillyMINI would like to participate in some way…</p>
<p>So, if we join up in Columbus and head to Indy… is there a stop there of some sort, or is straight through… can’t make the whole trip sadly… Anyone know?</p>
