Today we drove round really hilly and windy roads on the outskirts of Turin.
We stopped outside the mansion that was used in the film:
James,
Charlie,
We then drove to a square in Turin and the local mini club was there to meet us!!!
We then went to a Martini factory for lunch, Nice!!
After lunch we drove to a wine factory and got a chance to try some local wine.
Drive to the factory:
At the factory:
My birthday, a birthday 40 on the job and an Italian 40, mmmmmmmmmmm, nice!
Then we drove up some winding roads to a cathedral right on the top of a hill.
We then drove back to the hotel and took a drive by picture of the church where the Italian job minis race down the steps:
I couldnt get a pic of the wier but we did see it!!
We then got back to the hotel and some of the guys had organised a football match so we got 2 taxis to the astro turf pitch. What an experience!
We had a great time playing football and as we were running late we told the taxi driver to hurry back. Ahhhhh!!! Scary stuff!
We got back and walked to a Car museum where we were having dinner and as we walked in the door we saw this!!!:
A BMW M12!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
We had a great meal and got to see some really old cars, 3 bhp.
Oh and there was a Fiat jet car:
After the meal we went back to the same Ice cream place near the hotel and had some more Ice cream!! Some people had more than others (like a 500g tub)
