September 2002 - Daniel Chick, Alex Froom - NEW Mini Cooper. Our most epic adventure so far, saw Daniel and Alex Froom on a 4,500 mile journey through Western Europe and Scandinavia, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and beyond! Many thought this would be an adventure too far, but it turned out to be rather enjoyable, if a little uncomfortable on the back! We have also published some of our pictures in our Arctic Gallery! 05 September 2002 - We are just going outside and may be some time. 16 September ...

18 September 2002 - Will they make it. Part 2. Tuesday. Only 650 miles to Bergen, so that's alright then. Skipping breakfast, we left Mosjoen as soon as possible - it was still morning even! After a brief discussion as to just how likely it was that the Norwegians would extradite us over a speeding ticket (40mph limit on a long straight dual carriageway. Silly place for a camera.) we continued heading south on the road to Hell. Shooting down a road, towards what was going to be the hardest and final stag...

Our adventures have taken us all over Europe, from Bucharest in Romania to San Marino in Italy. and even north of the Arctic Circle (! Plans are being formulated for more adventures, maybe a trip to Ireland later in 2002. Although all the trips so far have been in Europe, this is by no means a restriction. Our ultimate ambition is to do a complete round the world trip. Maybe next year! Follow the links below for full details of each of our trips so far, or click here. The Italian Job, Italy.

Cooper, ordered just one month after they were released in the UK, was delivered in November 2002, just days after the return of the old Mini Cooper from Italy. With only 1000 miles on the clock, its initiation into the world of Mini Adventures came over New Year 2002, when it was taken from London, England to Krakow, Poland - just over 3000 miles! Is significantly more practical than the old Rover Mini, with the ability to take 3 people in reasonable comfort on an adventure! Where were you sitting?

17 September 2002 - Will they make it. Part 1. 1078 miles to Bergen, and a full tank of petrol. Its not dark (yet), and Dan's wearing Sunglasses. Al had woken to discover that O2, in their infinite wisdom, had cut off his mobile without so much as a text message or a phone call. We will brush over this for the time being, suffice to say it made things a little trickier and made one Fingers Froom remarkably angry. After 9 hours we crossed the Arctic Circle. There was snow blowing over the tops of the ...

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!
