THE OFFICIAL "Traveling Mazda Flag" thread! :D

PM me if you are interested, but in September (15th-16th) I am driving from Providence RI to Phoenix AZ (probably with 1 other 8 owner, possibly a third) to meet with their Caravan group, and on the 17th driving with their group to LA, for Sevenstock on the 18th. I will be leaving LA on the 20th for a drive up PCH to Seattle (passing through San Fransisco and Portland), and then turning back east to drive home, passing through several major cities (though which is still in question as I haven't decided on a specific route yet.

I could easily get pics of the flag in other locations as well, including anywhere along PCH, and if I take the northern route back east, Yellowstone and Rushmore + whatever else I pass by. Again, still finalizing my route choices.

I will be documenting the entire trip via video and blog, possibly live web/dash cam if I can get it set up without being too expensive. The flag would make a wonderful addition to this trip.

I don't want to hide anything though, so I'll say upfront that I will be actively looking for advertisement / sponsors (Mazda or Rotary specific, and tasteful) for the trip to cut my costs down (sitting about $2k at the moment), or even places to sleep to cut down the cost of hotels, etc... and this flag could easily help bring some in. If I don't get any, I am prepared to finance the entire thing myself (The cost of dreams and memories :) I've wanted to do this for a long time). But anything I don't have to spend myself would be always be welcome.

My thread for the trip on RX8Club.com:

Let me know if this is a trip you are interested in having this flag along for.
 
Let me know when it arrives Marc and I'll catch up with you!

Cheers,
Danny

Hell's yeah! We should get a pretty good turn-out for a Brisbane meet :)

I think we can get 30+ cars, whaddya think gentlemen? ;)

Also, how long does the flag have to be with a member & sent off? cause going by my location on the list and if members were to keep it a week and send it off ASAP, wont receive the flag till August/September (nailbyt)
 
Well I'm getting it shipped to me on the 1st? So Should have it like the 3rd? I'm taking it to a meet at OCC in NY on the 5th and sending it out on the 7th. So...should get to scratch by the 9th.

Yep, and I will be taking it with me to EECMM for the week of June 14th, it will be back out on Monday...

So judging by the responses above, it would seem that about a week at each location is fairly accurate.

I dont think that we need to set up a schedule of when every will have the flag, but it might be worthing figuring out when the next two or three people are expected to have the flag (shrug)
 
Put me down for the next available spot. I know exactly where ill be taking this picture. My location is Bayonne, NJ
 
sign me up. Would love to get Central Virginia Mazda Club in on this. Please add me to the list. Roanoke, Va.

Thanks

I'll join up whenever the flag is in MD or VA. Or we could even do a stop in DC to photograph it around the monuments or whatever.
 
Hey. Me too :) not even sure how to add me but ill be down for this, get a few KY folks to pose for pics!! also be down for EECMM soooo....
 
HOLY CRAP! I step away from MSpro.com for a couple of days and this thing blows up! :D Glad to see that this is going off......

Antonie, would you be able to maintain the list for me in my original post? I work like crazy and I might not be able to keep it current that well. If not, Ill try my best.

Depending on the chance that Antonie can help me out with maintaining the list, please PM him (or me if he cant do it) when you get the flag. This way we can keep the list updated with who has it and who is getting it next. Sound good!? :D Also, be sure to add a link to this in your signature!
