I weighed up whether this should go in the Motorsport section or the transport. Decided on transport as it was non competitive!

A club I belong to organises as bi annual run to Monte Carlo from the UK. We use roads which have a rallying history - this year we used roads which had been used in the Monte Carlo Rally, Tulip Rally and Alpine Rally.

The event was open to all minis from 1959 to 2010.

Now that was a GREAT movie. I can't even think as to how many times I've watched it. Before VCR's we had a party every time it was on TV that we had noticed. Now I have the tape plus a DVD of the remake.

EXCELLENT photos of what had to be GREAT FUN. Sure would enjoy doing something like that.

A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.

That was a great idea & you have some really nice shots from it.
