Well the final leg was fairly uneventful. We made the ferry in plenty of time and we were all asked to embark in convoy – so we could disembark in convoy.
With horns blaring and to the shocked amazement of other passengers this we did.
We then had a very tight time schedule to get to the muster point just outside Brighton- but we made it. The Sussex police boys did us proud. There was a rolling road block along the A23 [not all other drivers were happy about it!] – and we travelled 6 miles, in convoy.
As we finally approached the seafront we started tooting horns – and letting everyone know we were on our way. The finish line was in sight – and emotions were high.
We made it – and more importantly my little car never let us down.

The gala dinner in the evening was brilliant. All the tiredness was forgotton as speeches were made, stories told and prizes awarded.
The winners of ‘best dressed mini’, the different special stages and the overall navigational rally winner were all worthy.
We managed to finish in 24th position [out of 42], Not bad for our first attempt and considering we never really got the hang of the special stages [Paul needs more training in listening!!].
