Calling on Cabrio drivers to cross Europe.

MINI Convertible drivers know the word 'always open' like no other. They prefer to drive with the hood open, even in winter. A good reason to take a select group of MINI Cabrio drivers through the rugged landscape of Scandinavia and Eastern Europe - to Murmansk in Russia to drive.

The journey will head from Amsterdam through Scandinavia, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Berlin back to Amsterdam. The start and finish at the Amsterdam Auto show which runs from April 12 to 23 at the RAI in Amsterdam.

MINI will also feed back images of the challenge to the AutoRAI, so the people at home remain fully informed of the exciting trip across Europe. Participants are fully catered travel: everything has been thought of with extraordinary hotels, visas, permits and insurance. MINI delivers the complete lettering on the car and warm 'MINI Cabrio Always Open' outfits.

Up to 25 teams participate. The participation fee is €2750, - per person and the organization is owned by CarChallenge, known for the Amsterdam-Tokyo Challenge.

Lovers have until March 20 to apply. Visit - www.mini.nl/aoc
