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).

Stresa

Dinner at the Monza racetrack meant no drinking, so our early departure towards the beautiful lakeside town of Stresa was unfamiliar - No Hangovers! We belted along the autostrada to arrive in Stresa late morning. A quick boat trip to mangy cat island on the lake (not sure on the italian name but it was something about cats...), was followed by a spot of lunch, then a bit more driving to the stunning art deco hotel.






Our third black tie dinner in three days meant we were firmly back on the sauce with the evening ending with a roadblock garage party in the basement of the hotel. Guess whose stereo was providing the chunes?
