Hi All, I was packing away my mini experience calendar for 2012 and noticed a little red 850 set up for rally. John Cooper from Sydney owns the car. I just wanted to know if there is a write up on it in Ausmini. He drove Sydney Melb via the Snowies it says. Can anyone help?

If it is the same John Cooper that I know, then you can contact him directly through the classic rally club.

Yep, that's the same guy/car.
he did a writeup in the Classic Rally mag about the drive. You may be able to find it on the website, but I think they only keep a few months worth of mags on there maybe. The writeup was much earlier I think.
