Took another marathon trip in the Mini a couple of weeks ago to the Mini Cooper Day at Beaulieu. I filmed my 280 mile trip from up north to my over night stop, it only took about 10 minutes to get there.

I think I've got it, he edited out the waiting at the fuel pump! Unless I've missed something else, I reckon that's the reason he got there so quick...

At 0:12 you went past my flat! I recognise that journey as I do Newcastle to Nottingham all the time.

There are only 3 edits, two for the fuel stops and one to change the camera as the battery only lasted 3 hours on the first one.

Used to be red, it's more of an oily sort of brown now!
