...are planning a trip to Moscow, to help you celebrate the clubs birthday!

But we need some help!

1. when is the party happening?... date?

2. where will the party be happening?

3. What have you planned?

4. Are we welcome?

5. we want to take the same route you guys did....have you any advise for the ferry? Can you send us the route you took anf the name of the ferry company?

6. Will getting petrol be a problem anywhere along the way?

7. How long does it take to cross borders? And what do we need to pay there?

8. Could some of you meet us in St. Petersburg and drive the rest of the way to Moscow with us?

9. We need you guys to send us an invite for Visa / insurance purposes.

10. there will be probably be 3 or 4 Minis coming.

11. Where can we sleep; and where our Minis will be safe.

12. a german Mini dealer may support us up to finland. Could Mini in Moscow support us for the rest of the trip...have you any contact person there? In case we break down etc.

13. Can we drive on our EU / canadian licenses... do we need special permits?

We are very excited about coming, but as you know there a lot of things to plan.

Can you guys set up an english page here in your forum, so that we all can easily

access info about the trip.

Chris is planning to come from Cananda to germany and then to drive across with us.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Talk soon,

Michelle, Thomas and Chris :078:

ps. we will be the winners of the longest drive competition!

pps we heard its very cold in Moscow at the moment...hope you, your families and your Minis are all ok. Can you start the engines at all in that cold?!

Hello,, hello, hello!!!

Realy nice to hear from you. We have a meeting this coming sunday where we shall start some planning. All the questions seem very easy to answer, but I am going to take 10-14 days to prepare a complete guide.

We will do everything in good time, so that no-one would need to rush things. One thing I can tell right now, that the celebrations will be held on the 17th and 18th of June (Sat&Sun).

Watch this space for more info.

It's cold, but bareable. Thank you for your concern.
