Three MINIs, 10 countries, one giant adventure Three MINI Cooper S hatches recently completed the final leg of a 49-day, thrill-a-minute adventure. At the end of the 8,000-mile journey that took them from South Africa to England across 10 countries, they arrived at Plant Oxford, the home of MINI. Having set off from Johannesburg on 8 March 2006, this overland voyage saw the trio of MINIs navigate the eastern side of Africa, travelling through Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. Decorated top-to-toe in South African flags, the MINIs were tested at every opportunity as they sped across Africa's diverse terrain, conquering demanding mountain paths, vast expanses of desert land and gazelle-filled grassy plains. The continent-conquering MINIs needed very few modifications. Aside from raising the ground clearance to approximately 230mm, changing the shock absorbers and adding steel rims and robust tires, the cars were mechanically identical to the MINIs available to customers. A further requirement for MINI Odyssey was that each MINI Cooper S be essentially self-sufficient for the entire journey. This involved the removal of the rear seats and interior cladding in order to accommodate the supplies needed. Each car carried two spare wheels, food and all sleeping equipment required by the team. The team put the MINI trio through their final few paces as they crossed the Mediterranean by ferry into Italy. They then headed up through France and finally reached England. The entire MINI Odyssey was broadcast live via the MINI Odyssey website, www.miniodyssey.co.za. PURCHASE FINANCING AS LOW AS ON EVERY HONDA TRUCK 2.9 % 36 Months O.A.C.
