Hello everyone
I wanted to share the adventures of my day yesterday with you all, if that's OK!
Firstly a bit of background. My Dad's mate Geoff has built himself a replica of the Land Rover used in the original Italian Job film. They drove it to Italy last year as part of The Italian Job rally which happens every year (more details: http://www.italianjob.com/). They are going this year, only this time Geoff will be driving a Mini Cooper and Dad will be driving the Land Rover. They have another two drivers as well. The rally is great fun, and raises lots of money for charity.
Saturday 26 September was the Mini World day at Castle Coombe in Wiltshire. A small contingent of 'jobbers' turned up to help spread to word about the rally and to raise some sponsorship money.
I was lucky enough to take run down to the circuit in the Land Rover it's awesome!
This is what it looked like at 6:30am before we set off:

Meeting up with Geoff at Chievely services on the M4:

Technically it should have been a four door with the rear windows painted out though
