The challenge was accepted and completed in style. The three minis and their teams of drivers crossed the finish line on Saturday afternoon. Following 10 days of driving, camping, getting lost, breaking down (cars, not drivers!) and generally having an amazing time they managed to drive around the coast of the UK.

The guys are all doing well and two of the cars are currently flying down the Welsh coast to St David’s

The third car, Porthos, is in the repair shop at Lloyd’s Lakes South Mini as a coolant hose blew yesterday morning, hopefully will be fixed this morning and will catch up with the others near Bristol.
