Alpine motorsports involving Minis

Post by MiNiKiN »

Skijöring - for some reason less popular in Britain :lol:
Watch this there is a few Minis in this early 70s video, too
This happened in Lunz am See - in the centre of Austria - aka the middle of nowhere 8-)

About 20 years ago I witnessed such antics on classic Monte Carlo Rally stages in ski resorts but not on skis but skate boards being towed up the stage and then descending - much quicker than me. No boulders appeared on the road at that time. :lol:
