January 2002 - Daniel Chick, Alex Froom, Colin Fisher - New MINI Cooper

Our first adventure in the new MINI, we also made our first journey with more than two people in the car! Our adventure would take us all the way across Europe from London, England to Krakow in Poland. Preparations were meticulous, the weather was terrible in Poland with 6ft snow drifts and -13 degrees reported in some places!!

Our non-stop journey across Europe went fantastically, and we reached Poland in an incredible 18 hours!

The 4 days in Poland were spent mainly drinking Vodka, the traditional drink in Poland, and not much else! We even managed to meet up with one of our previous drivers, Alex Bassett, for a few drinks in the town square in Krakow!!

The return journey was a little less successful, with bad weather and bad roads slowing us down to a sluggish 36 hours journey home!

Have a look below for links to the daily reports from the adventure - very amusing!!!

Unfortunately, Dan's camera got stolen in Krakow, so we can't show you any pictures of this adventure.... probably just as well really!!!!
