Contrary to popular opinions in Steve's office, the Mini did make it out of England and the team are now in Troyes, France.
The ferry was slightly delayed due to the moderate seas in the Channel, but we were amongst the first off the ferry and were soon heading down the French motorway system. Apart from a few strange looks from locals as they sped past us, we have had no issues with the car and we are now planning our journey into Switzerland for tomorrow night.
At Dover we met two other Italian Job teams waiting for the same ferry - one of which was team 07, who will be immediately in front of us for the rally stages as the teams leave in strict numerical order. As their car is a two year old BMW Mini Cooper S, John Cooper Works GP special edition (over 200 bhp) we won't be seeing them for long, with our c70 bhp engine!
Total distance covered so far - 407 miles.
