2 things i was thinking??? Do you rekon you could drive from the spain up through france back to home in a mini without it exploding into a million pieces. Taking quite a slow pace though, (missing the motorways) also anybody know where you can get the old monte carlo roof racks with the wooden slats now?  like to hear your thoughts??? |

Yeah you could do it easy! I plan on going on 'The Italian Job' Mini run within the next few years, that is a run down to Italy, all around Italy, and back ;D Just take loads of points, oil, water, dizzy caps, etc and it'll be fine! I would suggest getting it rolling roaded a week or so before you set off so you know the car is set up to its best. The Rack... think the copies are around £150. Ive seen an original one go for over £500 on ebay... Or there are non wooden slat versions with different sides that go for about £100 ish.. Depends which sort you want lol |

thers no reason why a mini would break down on such a trip. if they are properly serviced then they are no less reliable than a modern car.
