Raising money for children in a fun way.

The ItalianJob is known as one of the most fun events on the socialmotoring calendar and celebrated its landmark 25th anniversary in 2014. The Italian Job Minis will not out perform policecars through crowded Italian city centre streetsbut will take part in a navigational rally, which is designed to take them well and truly off the beaten track. Between them Terry and Steve will be expected to find their way along a pre determined routeusing no GPS or maps but following a set of hand drawninstructions called Tulip Designslaid out in a road book.

Terry and Steve are lookingforward to this Italian adventureand are keen to ensure that their Mini performsas well as possible during the navigational rally. More importantly though,they want to ensure the success of the fundraising part of the event, so that many young people can in turn benefitfrom their participation.
