Will try to get a pic and post it here tomorrow. No idea how to do that yet, but I can mail it to Gabe and he can do the honours.</p> They have arrived safe and sound and look mighty impressive despite the distance and conditions.

Michael Palin’s Kittie Korner MINI Adventures.

NS…… Did you read about how long it took them to get out of Egypt?

I noticed the cars were raised a bit.

People think the MINI is just a small car, but they don’t understand how solid it is. This is a great event to show it’s durability.

I have tried several times to send them an email, through their site, and they all have come back. I followed it everyday for about 15 days and then got bored with the lack of the above mentioned stuff. I must admit I did read/hear some funny stuff about Italians while they waited for they're cars when they first got to Italy from Egypt that echoed my visit to Italia.

I’m hoping I win the all expense trip to Oxford.
