I am stealing some of these ideas!


Help yourself!!!...... (I wouldn't actually recommend the braking into Stone Henge one though >_< ) Just be sure to put a big sign in your window that reads "AVV IT did this first!!" :lol:


I will get the drywipes out and do it on the roof :mrcool:

But i'm going to suggest going on a 'hoon' with the guys and see what they make of it lol

As a biker I would do that all the time. I'd get on the bike flip a coin to see which way to go and be gone for hours. It gets real fun when all you have is enough cash for gas and a bit of food and you dissapear for days. Its freedom in its purest form. The open road, no phone, no boss, no bitching and whining. It's just you and the road. Look forward to doing it in the Mini this year.

One time I finished my deadline a day early on Thursday so I decided to drive somewhere.

I ended up in LA 24 hours straight drive later (wasn't the mini, obviously), went to Six Flags (I felt like going on a roller coaster ride) and drove back, another 24 hours straight.

I got in trouble at the border because it was so suspicious, they took the dogs out to the car. Good thing I didn't have anything in the car (at the time).

Also, I was psychologically traumatized by what I saw written (with illustrations) on the walls of the toilets at a truck stop.

I know this feeling! Quite often i could not sleep because I had the urge to drive my mini. I used to take my phone which has sat nav on, and what I would do is drive for about 3 hours without reading any signs or any directions and see were I end up, I used to love doing and I found some incredible roads doing so. Then once i decided enough is enough, id flick the sat nav on and go home. :lol: I never had a problem sleeping after that.
