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).

And we're off

Well at least I am. I meet Miles in London tonight. Finally managed to leave the office at 6ish last night. Packed while watching a disappointing Scotland Georgia football match and started to head down south. Made it as far as Yorkshire where a couple of fine pints awaited....

Better watch out in that village, they'll have your car in a dumpster before you know it--nice find.

Best of luck.
