To recreate the trip to Italy of the three Mini Coopers featured in "The Italian Job" film.
This mini would like to get to this cache in Turin:
GCKTTT
“Hang on a minute lads, I got an idea!..” for a travel bug.
The 1969 film “The Italian Job” featured Michael Caine as Charlie Croker, a small-time crook, seeking to make his fortune by hijacking a bullion shipment in Turin.
After planning the robbery and a few practice runs, three patriotically-coloured Mini Cooper S's (driving in the order of red, white, and blue) get to Turin and weave through plazas, over rooftops, across weirs and through sewers in order to make their getaway. The Mini's are then picked up by a coach in the Alps for an unexpected ending.
Our little Mini wants to copy the film and get to Italy, by way of cache boxes, the closer to Turin the better.
In the film there were scenes set in London, a dentist surgery, a graveyard scene (for Great Aunt Nellie), Dover, Turin airport, over the roof of a stadium, up and round the famous Fiat Factory, and over the twisting Alpine roads. Other vehicles involved include a minibus, Land Rover, a coach, a Mafia bulldozer, two car transporters, Italian Police cars, Jaguar E-Types, Aston Martin DB4's, Alfa Giulia's and Lamborghini Miura.
That should give you plenty of scope for photographs (please provide details of the film connection and the GPS coordinates of any non-cache sites).
We would rather our mini did not end up going over a mountainside in The Alps, and wish it well on it's journey.
In December 2003 our second Italian Job mini was released.
The Registered Charity NCH Action for Children organise a fun Italian Job event in Italy, normally at the end of October. Find out more here.
