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).

Last chance salon


A bit of a long slog from Annecy to Reims to catch a tour in the Mumm Champagne Caves in Reims. Our biggest acheivement today was getting the least amount of miles out of a tank of fuel - 100miles....




Finished off the days driving with a trip to the abandoned Reims Circuit de Gueux. There is not much left of the stands etc but what is left is quite random.
