Peille – Col de la Madone (15.187 km)

The last lap, and poor old PRX is beginning to feel how many competitive miles she’s done. Whatever we try we can stop the slide even though Bill is using all his years of talent to overcome the problems with the car – we’re sure a Mini was never intended to be driven like this !

Finish the rally in 166th place out of 249 cars still running. 322 cars started the rally so the attrition rate was quite high.

The Mini can still hold her head high after so many years as a Cooper finished second overall, and 12 managed to reach the end in one piece – congratulations to all.

We think it’s now time for some food, a long soak in the bath and then bed… tomorrow we can analyse our performance and reflect on what has been a truly eventful few days.

All our thanks to everyone involved, check back later for a proper rally report… John & Bill
