+1 for me. Plus a bunch of zombie hookers, but they won't be eating (food).

Jamie, are you driving the CGT?

If yes to the above, confirm my attendance and I call driving behind Jamie!

I had the exquisite pleasure of driving behind Jamie in the CGT for a good 20 or 30 minutes ago 2 years ago. I tried to be off-throttle when he was on so I could hear it

no .. usually 23-26 from what i remember .. i think 30-40 will be hugely unmanageable.

I think we should designate 3 lead cars, all of which have passenger-navigators, so drivers aren't looking back and forth from road to map, then missing a turn. I'll look at the map tonight and find a rallying point half way through, so we can all take a break and gather.

Suggestion; break the cars into two groups and allow a 15-20 minute gap.

What does the 15 minute gap do?

We just did a run in London with 40 cars, split into 2 groups of 20. Horrible lead car (did not know the route, did not do a pre drive, tried to go onto 3 different closed roads, rerouted onto oil sprayed gravel road with $1.5 mill worth of cars following, and, best of all, kept accelerating to 110 in 80 zones, so the tail end cars were doing 160 to try and catch up)

Splitting into 3 with driver/navigators is a great idea.. The only reason for the 20 min break in the London run was to make the first coffee break manageable for the coffee house.. As long as you know who your lead car is we should be fine without a big break

How did I miss that London run? If you tell me there was a link here for the last 3 months, I"ll punish myself by test driving a Kia.

you have to drive a Rio

That being said, the Rental car I had when I went to MN to test drive my car was a Soul.. How can you not by a 964 turbo when you drive a Kia Soul out the test drive?
