Never mind the cold weather outside — it's time to start planning ahead and Minimag are pleased to annouce that we'll be organising another of our popular trips to the continent this year!

The dates for your diary are May 12-14th and in conjunction with Continental Car Tours we'll be visiting the ancient port of Honfleur in France. The trip includes ferry crossings from Dover, two nights' accommodation in a three star hotel and an inclusive group meal on the first night, where you'll get the chance to meet other Mini owners, plus members of the Minimag editorial team.

A full itinerary is included, which will find you taking in some fantastic driving roads and visits to the French towns of Trouville, Deauville, Houlgate and Cabourg. The price for the trip is £159 per person, based on two people per car. You can book via wwww.continentalcartoours.co.uk, or look out for the booking form in the next issue of Mini Magazine, on sale January 19.
