Having spent just over 4 months living out here in Morzine, I have seen one other mini, a french registered one. we have never crossed paths, and never met..... Until today.
I saw it parked up on the side of the road, near where i wanted to park, so why not park them together. Just as i was getting out and locking up, a french man shouts to me! turns out its the owner. A really nice French ski instructor. At least now we know, there is at least one other person out here with a bit of taste!

The French one looks....smaller!
Brilliant video, nicely done and something a bit different. Well worth a watch. I would share it but I'm only on here!
I saw two minis when I was in Austria, both parked up but I was passing too quickly to get any pics.

Went out for a spin today, Stunning weather and amazing roads.
Sorry about the sound quality, pretty weird vibrations. here is a cheeky little VIDEO of me coming down the mountain from Avoriaz back to Morzine.
if you have the opportunity, GET YOUR MINI TO THE ALPS!
also i know some of you are waiting on our snowboard film, we are still waiting for it to go live online too, but be sure it will be up as soon as possible!

Who says these cars aren't practical! we had to move a bed from one chalet to another today, and despite having two Renault traffic vans, we couldn't get the bed frames in with out taking the seats out!
step up to the plate "super mini"
got some odd looks about town with that on the roof!

No Minis were harmed in the filming of this video.
Please watch and share!

Love this, is does surprise me how on a day to day basis the lack of minis on the road and then you go somewhere so far away and see one!!

I haven't posted in a while, as I have been pretty busy out here with the last few weeks of the season. It wont be long now before both the mini and myself return to Blighty. so with that in mind, it only seems fair to get out on the roads and go for a blast in the glorious summer like weather we have been getting out here.
also, check out this little flyby vid here!

With less than ten days left before heading back to the UK, all i can say is this has been an amazing 5 months with the little beast! It looks as if my return journey back to Blighty will be straight forward and just go for it. But i have made up my mind and will be returning to Morzine for the summer months, and again with the mini.
When i return for the summer my plan is to get the ferry to Santander in Northern Spain, and head east through the Pyrenees and then in to southern France along the coast to Italy where i will start heading north back up to the french alps. an epic summer adventure I'm sure you will agree!
This thread my get a bit quiet over the next month or so, but it wont be long before I'm updating you all again on my travels!
Until then....... here is the old girl by a lake!

So, chapter 1 of "A Not So Mini Adventure" has concluded.
After a 700mile nonstop (problem free) charge through France yesterday, the old girl has made it back to the UK completely unscathed following our 5 month jaunt to the French Alps.
It has been the most amazing time, made even better by being accompanied by the little beast!
keep an eye out for this thread reappearing next month when i will be heading back to Morzine for the summer, with many more pictures to come. For now though the old girl deserves a well earned rest, and so do I.
Here is a cheeky snap I took whilst about midway through France yesterday. 
until next time....
