The open road was calling, and I thought too much time had passed, so I had to head back to the USA to do another Big MINI Adventure! MINI USA planned another MINI TAKES THE STATES, so it was only right that I packed my bags and head over for my 2nd MTTS. This year’s event started in Burlington and finished in Greenville-Spartanburg, covering 1,700 miles of memories, laughs and MINI fun.
Over the next five days, over 2,000 MINI owners with over 600 MINI Cooper vehicles from across the model range will explore a total of nine states and eight cities, raising money for Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the euthanizing of dogs and cats in American animal shelters by 2025. Making its return after four years, the biennial MTTS trek will cover more than 1,700 miles in total. MINI owners will be travelling down an inland route from Vermont to South Carolina on state and county roads, stopping in eight cities along the way, with more than 80 pets and their owners coming for the ride. The MMCA will be present at the morning Rise & Rally events in all eight cities where MTTS stops during the week-long road trip. MINI enthusiasts in attendance can learn more about the club and sign up for more information as the club prepares to launch its official membership. More information on the club can be found at minimotoringclub.org
