Sorry it's taken me so long to post these up Back in June after we had been to MINI United the KAES MINI Club travelled through the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France & Monaco on a trip called 'Monte Carlo or Bust'. It was an incredible adventure taking in some of the best scenery and roads on offer, here are some photos:

We were privileged to have Quack Quack Jack join us in my R56 Cooper S for the trip. He had prime position in the middle, apart from on the mountain roads where my passenger decided they needed something to hold on to

On an unlimited section of an empty German Autobahn

St Gotthard Pass

Jack is joined by his new friends on the St Gotthard Pass

We went down the old St Gotthard Pass, it was well worth it

Top photo's David.

The St Gothard Pass looks fantastic.
I'll be adding that on my things to do list!

lol thanks, no probs

The Gotthard Pass is brilliant - we've driven down the new and old pass, make sure you go on the old one called 'Val Tremola' (Valley of the Trembling) it's a cobbled road with hairpins all the way down. Open your windows play 'On Days Like These' from the Italian Job full blast and enjoy it
