It all started when Miles decided we were going to do the Italian Job this year. What he didn't realise was that my mini just wasn't up to it. This resulted in a search for our ideal mini: Something as new as possible without being a BMW Mini, something that would last the trip in comfort (?) and style, not to mention something that would be great fun to throw around the twisty roads that wind through the Alps.

Why?

Why not it looks like fun……and c’mon its for charity so dig deep in your pockets and help us burst our target of raising £3000 for the UK’s leading children’s charity NCH (www.nch.org.uk).


Gav

Gav 33, lives in Stockbridge, Edinburgh and works as a business development manager (trying to sell people stuff). Gav likes sailing, is a serial wedding goer, and takes the occasional photo. Gav doesn’t like small spaces.

Miles

The Route Plan


The way out……………

Booked on the half nine ferry from Dover on October 19th the boys have set themselves with over 1500 miles of driving to get to the start of the Italian Job in Venice by 26th October. Having never been good at straight lines, and always keen to see places they’ve never heard of, the extensive route planning phase is now complete. Armed with a Little Chef road map of Europe we plan to take in Luxembourg, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest Zagreb, & Ljubljana on our way to Venice.

The Italian Job

Joining around 100 other jobbers the pair will take in special stages, circuits of various racetracks (including the famous rooftop Lingotto test track) and traveling in convoy across Northern Italy and France back to the finish line on Brighton Seafront on 3rd November. Exact details of the route are not yet know but be sure to follow the boys progress on the blog……..
