On your way back from Rome if a gave you a trailer to use could you possibly pick up an Innocenti Mini for me? Its in a small villiage just off the A1 about 70 miles north of Rome? That would be rust from Rome then

The wife wont let me take the Land Rover on holiday to pick it up

Shame on you........think of the carbon footprint of this rally............all that petrol wasted on a totally unnecessary 4000 mile journey by not one but at least 8 (and maybe 10 cars) are doing!!

Due to your total disregard for the environment, the earth will warm up by at least one degree, polar bears will have no home and little fluffy kittens will obviously die all over the world due to the climate changed caused.

I suggest you use public transport myself - and not those noisy aeroplanes. Sell all the bangers and buy an electric bus to share between you.


Oh hang on, i'm a petrol head, what am i saying, sod the environment and the green lobby and enjoy life while you can - before the government impose "movement licences" on us to tax us for any non-essential journeys!!

Have a great trip - looks great. Can we all come next year??

Im sorting out the green thing by attaching a plantpot to the end of the exhaust so the fumes will be converted at source

You have to look for them but since the price of fuel has climbed these cars are being dumped for little money.
THe landrover disco is another one you see prices tumbling. ...the small car prices are on the up.....mondeos are toy money
