Launched in 1990 with the aim of raising money for children in a fun way, the Italian Job is 10 glorious days of driving in a Mini through some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe.

so - one mini, one mother and son team, no satnav - bound to be a mini adventure all in the name of charity

The adventure has started ......   I would like to thank everyone who has donated so far and thanks in advance to those who will donate while I am away

Many Thanks go to

Ian Kildin for the artwork

Peter Wilkie for the vinyls

Everyone who has put up with me rabbitting on for nearly a year about the Italian Job

Once again - THANK YOU for your money - it is going to a great cause - photo's will be loaded on Facebook and Kodak on my return
