http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/11/12/win-a-dakar-rally-adventure_n_6145722.html?

Here’s your chance to sample the axle-grinding, wheel-churning exhilaration of the world’s toughest rally, as guests of the MINI ALL4 Racing Team. Or walk away with a seriously tough GoPro camera.
You and a friend could follow the MINI ALL4 Racing Team across South America through some of the most breathtaking landscapes on the planet, as they go all out to land their fourth win in a row. You’ll hit the trails in an ALL4 MINI Countryman to discover the rally stages, meet the drivers and take in the awe-inspiring scenery of South America.
This trip of a lifetime begins on January 1, 2015 and ends on January 12, 2015. It includes all meals and accommodation, plus return flights from London to Buenos Aires.
Three lucky runners up will also be able to capture their next adventure on an ultra-lightweight, gear-mountable GoPro HERO 4 Silver Edition camera/camcorder.
Whether we win or lose,
that we played at all was a winning decision. :D
2011 wins £12,292
2012 wins ...
Thank you to all who post on here!!!! :A
