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!!!!
