Terry & Debbie Drive Schmutzi through Mexico

The little blue Cooper S takes on the roads south of the border
By Terry Sayther & Debbie Stuart


Day One---

     8:30 AM- South of San Antonio picked up a coolant reservoir, ours was leaky.

     12:00 PM- lunch at Kingsville, TX- Saw cowboys with boots and spurs- 29 MPG

     It's good to be heading south again after a brief trip to San Antonio we headed on past miles and miles of Texas.  Border crossing was a breeze.

     The MINI is a perfect car for Mexico, fast, nimble, fun to drive.  30+ MPG when Debbie drives, and 25 MPG when cruising 90-100.  Passing cars like they were standing still.  We ate supper in C. Victoria.

Day Two---
Cuidad Valles, SLP (770 miles from home in Austin)
We'll let Schmutzi tell her own story today:

"Yesterday they drove me like they stole me- what fun! Today they start later & drive slower, but the roads are curvey & I get to pass lots more cars...I LOVE THAT! Then they turned off onto a dirt road & I discovered mud! YUCK! What do they think I am? They bottomed me out and spun my wheels. Finally I convinced them to turn around, I hope they won't try that again. I didn't go far today, but I did stop in some beautiful places...."
