Rich and Russ are revving up their Mini's engine to raise £1500 in aid of KidsOut (www.kidsout.org.uk), the fun and happiness children's charity.

On October 24th 2008 we will join around 100 other Mini and classic car enthusiasts in Imola to take part in The Italian Job (www.wordserf.co.uk/italianjob/), an event that has so far raised over £1.9m for childrens charities since its inception in 1990. From there we will "rally" back to the UK.

We're really excited about taking part in The Italian Job and raising money for children in a fun way. We are seeking your support by sponsoring us. Any amount will help us to reach out target of £1500 and make a real difference to the lives of many disadvantaged children.

Rich's company, Temenos (www.temenos.com), has sponsored the bonnet of our Mini and Stuart McLaird's company, Elevation Scaffold Services (www.elevationscaffoldservices.co.uk/), has sponsored the roof. The boot and wings are still available for sponsorship and we would be delighted to hear from anyone interested having their logo displayed on them.

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Rich and Russ
