Mini Team Bonaire
As the event was getting closer 'Mini Team Bonaire' was
gearing up; Jan-Willem is making
sure of that :)
Here is the scoop on a newspaper-article
that came out on Bonaire.
The Team now consisted of 3 Mini's with Bas, his girlfriend
Carmen, his brother Jan-Willem
and wife Yvette and Inmar :)
Here are some pix of the three MTB Mini's;

a 1972 Morris Mini Pick Up 850 (the blue with picnic-table-cover)
a 1991 Austin Mini Cooper S 1300 (racing green with white roof)
