They came, got fixed up and left to conquer the Atlantic!

Well ahead of schedule, the brave team of Oscar and Mini Gp 1922 arrived to Moscow on late night of Tuesday, september 16th. Due to uncertainty of the time that they would arrive, our MINI Club could not arrange a proper meeting ceremony. However, I did my best to guide them into Moscow's suburbia and arrange a hotel for them.

Here are some photos for you:







After the night excursion to Red Square, we went to Moscow American style iner, where we sat and talked untill 4 in the morning. Then I took them to a small hotel and left them to rest. The next day, one of our oldest club members to them to Moscow's, hence Russia's oldest MINI dealer. While Oscar car was being brought back to it's showroom state, he was taken around the city by dealer's brand manager Kathrine. They left on Friday morning heading west towards Poland and over to Portugal. Thier plan is to end their epic journey on the east coast of the Atlantic, as it started on the west coast.

Got a text message from Oscar a few hours ago. They should be in Lisbon by tomorrow morning.
