Friday involved registration, car checks and briefings before driving off on our first course to a local vineyard for lunch. There's a good mix of old and new (fake) minis, i.e. more old, which will be terrorising the roads on italy for the next few days. After a spot of lunch and a couple of daft tasks involving driving the cars round in circles we head back to the hotel for a wee bottle of Prosecco - when in Rome....
Today has been an amazing day driving though little towns like Asolo. Great views, wicked switch backs and good driving. Absolutely knackered after the small drink last night so secretly we are quite pleased that the runs in the afternoon were cancelled! Thankfully the sun was shining on us today which sadly was not the case yesterday - although we managed to keep the rain out of the stereo this time!

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).

I think I'm going to "Report inappropriate content" on your picasa web gallery. That prancing BHJ 369J is RUDE!
