One Small Step for Man. One Giant Leap For Mini Kind!!!

The Mini's finally arrived in Santos on Sunday 10th April.  The containers were removed from the ship on Monday and today the cars were removed from the containers.  (they needed the container back).
We're still a long way from getting the cars in our possession.  The cars still have to be checked by customs, but hopefully with a wink and a special handshake it won't be too much trouble.   Will keep the blog updated when we have news and hopefully some pictures.
Even when we get the cars, the fun is not over....  We stil have to get them registered with Brazilian number plates.   Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Not Long Now!!! The Cars Have Reached Brazil

The ship has been off the radar for a few days while it passed Africa.  Now the ship has arrived in Rio De Janeiro.  The next stop should be Santos.  Fingers crossed!
