Contrary to our previous statement. I'd like to assure everyone that we're not going to die on this trip. I hope this assurance doesn't take away from the entertainment.

Arise Hyacinth - honorary Micra!

The more observant of you may have noticed that Hyacinth is infact not a Micra. Now for some teams this would present a challenge, but not to intrepid souls like ourselves. Coops seems to think the fact our car isn't a Micra injects much needed humour into our otherwise trad name. I tend to feel that modern life enforces too many conventions and rules limiting our ability to achieve amazing things. Would Richard Branson have circumnavigated the globe in a balloon, would Scott have been the first man to the Arctic if they had bowed to such rules? Ok, so you may say that Branson failed repeatedly in his balloon, and Scott wasn't the first man to the Arctic.

To which I simply say we couldn't find a Micra in our price range, and we were scared it wouldn't get us there anyway. Arise Hyacinth - honorary Micra!
