About This Item

Italian Job Love Bug

This VW Beetle car is competing against three other cars in an "Italian Job" race from Italy to the UK. It was released in northern Italy in August 2010. Please help to keep it moving towards the UK! Once it is back in the UK it wants to get to a cache in the village of Biddestone near Chippenham, Wiltshire to finish the race. The race idea is based on the classic film, "The Italian Job", where a group of British crooks tried to steal a large amount of gold bullion from a bank delivery in Turin. There's no gold in this one but please keep it moving along, thank you! This VW Beetle belongs to BlackAndTabby daughter, K1.

Retrieve It from a Cache 8/21/2011 BlackAndTabbyFamily retrieved it from #5 Going Quackers in Biddestone Southern England, United Kingdom   Visit Log

The B&T Family visited Quackers#5 to pick up our daughter's Italian Job TB which has finally made it home after we released it in Italy one year ago. This one came home in 2nd place.

Many thanks to everyone who helped to bring our TB so many miles back home and especially to master-goertz and TANDEM2 for bringing it home the last few miles so we could pick it up.

Took this Beetle Travel Bug and will put it in another cache ASAP. Unfortunately we are on our narrowboat Mr. Heron so we are not able to put it in your village cache but we will try and put it nearer to its destination. We will keep our eye on this Bug as we think it is a brilliant idea.

Discovered It 5/15/2011 BlackAndTabbyFamily discovered it   Visit Log

Stopped off on a cycle ride from Hungerford to Devizes to check if our Italian Job Love Bug TB really was in the Potters Lock cache.......and to our delight it was! We had released it 9 months ago when on holiday in Italy and amazed to see it has got this far already. It's in a race against three other TBs to get back to our village near Chippenham so we would really appreciate if one of the next visitors could move it a little further west (race rules prevented us from moving it on ourselves!) Thank you 😁
