Hello, as promised, one final, but belated, post showing a few of the shots from our trip.
The only other team to do the trip in a classic car older than the oldest team member. a 1968 Triumph TR5.

Bruce the Mini on the first morning, all packed and ready for the trip.

Bruce modified for the Alps... Engine cooling on a budget. (Also, note the budget beam deflectors.)

The great Convoy to the Alps.

Pulled over for the engines to have a breather.
From left to right: The Ken Block Focus, The 106 Rally Light, The Volvo, The shiny Corolla, The Fiat Brava Camo (in hiding, rather fittingly), Rodney the Rover and finally, Bruce.

In convoy again. Team Rodney and their Rover. Also called Rodney.

Proof that Bruce made it to the top of the Stelvio Pass.

The Stelvio Pass.

The TR5 on the Stelvio Pass.

The convoy on the beach in Croatia.
Left to right: The shiny Corolla of The TESTTUBES, The Ken Block Focus, Bruce the Adventurer, The Volvo Mansion, Rodney and finally, 106 Rally Light.

Are we nearly there yet? Yes, sadly we were.

And finally, the UFO Bridge in Bratislava. Our unofficial finish line in Slovakia. Mixed emotions here, overjoyed that we made it and sad that it was nearly over.

And a final update, £759.50 already has been donated to Prostate Cancer UK, not including Gift Aid. And over a £100 to come from offline sponsors which will be donated to EWB (Engineers Without Borders).

Cheers Duck.
