Ok so from the beginning
It involved driving to Dublin from just south of Belfast. Ferry to Holyhead. Then a drive to Folkestone
Getting onto Euro Tunnel
At the old Reims Gueux Circuit
A few dead flies collected along the way
This was down past Grenoble up in the mountains
The views were amazing!
Along Route Napoloen on the way to Castellane
Then from Castellane, I made it to THE south of france, I couldn't go any further!
Along the way
Water!
Then along the coast to Monaco, they were getting all prepped for the F1 which was a shame, I wanted a picture of my car outside the casino
A few small vessels in the harbour
So before I left I had a message from Gerard asking if I wanted to put my car at their club tent, why not I thought. I had the best time with the crew, Chris, Sinead, Ger, Oliver and Julian!! Class craic and very welcoming to me!! Next time theres an MTI I'm there!!!
The event is called MINI United, its held every 2/3 years and is a 3 day festival with live music, events, and you can take your car around the circuit. MINI challenge racing is also on during the weekend. I saw Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Gossip, The Ting Tings and Martin Solveig at the concerts.
MINI always do something special for their fans, so on the Saturday we got the first glimpse of the new GP in the metal, the press release was later that evening
I also met Paddy Hopkirk and Rauno Aaltonen
Back up through France via Millau, our convoy group
And Paris
Then a MINI factory tour in Oxford - my 7th tour
Heres the stats from the car for the trip
39.3 wasnt bad considering the car was fully loaded and in france was sitting at 80
ol: :roll: cough with the cruise control onFor those in km
Whens the next one? I'm going!! I hope you enjoyed reading this. Thank you
