It seems that retailers are bringing out the Christmas decorations earlier each year, but Mini’s premature holiday spirit could be one for the record books. The day after Black Friday, the “Mini Goes to Santa Claus” adventure will depart from BMW headquarters in Munich, Germany and head up Rovaniemi, Finland (just outside the Arctic Circle) to deliver Christmas letters to Santa Claus -he must have an mail outpost here for his North Pole workshop. Guinness World Records is also getting involved with this trek, by competing for a for the longest-ever wish list to Santa.
Mini has assembled teams of vehicles from 16 countries consisting of all of its current models to drive the almost 1,900 miles. Although it won’t be a part of the convoy, the Mini Paceman will be in Rovaniemi to welcome the groups along with former rally driver Rauno Aaltonen who will “demonstrate his unequalled talent” while driving the Paceman. We’re not exactly sure what this means, but snowy climates and rally drivers always seem to be a recipe for great entertainment to us.
Scroll down for Mini’s press release, but we’ll have to wait until later in the month to see what should be some pretty cool pictures of the trip.Continue reading Mini headed to North Pole to meet Santa Claus
