<p>We are driving our cantankerous 1978 Mini 1275GT 'Tigger' to Italy and back on the 'Italian Job' tour 2011, raising money for the children's charity The Variety Club. Have you been following our story and photos so far on Facebook - we've had ups and downs and haven't even reached the ferry yet... We need as much help as possible please to reach our sponsorship target!</p> <p>We have covered the rear of the car with gold bullion bar stickers, and will add your name and good luck message on one when you donate.</p> <p>THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your generosity, Alex and Suzy xox</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, and your money is sent directly to the charity.</p>
