A movie-inspired European banger rally

We did Monte Carlo.
Now we're taking on Turin.

In June 2027 we're setting off on another 10-day European road adventure. This time the inspiration is The Italian Job, with Minis, Italian cars, classics and good old-fashioned bangers heading across Europe towards Turin.

The full story, route and event details will appear here as the plans develop. For now, this first page is deliberately simple: it introduces the event, explains the idea and gives us a clean structure to build on.

The sequel to Monte Carlo or Bust

Last time the road took us to Monte Carlo. In 2027 we're doing it again, only this time we're heading for Turin — and building the rally around another classic motoring film.

This section will eventually carry the full introduction to the new event, with a link to photographs and stories from Monte Carlo or Bust.

From Monte Carlo to Turin

What sort of rally is it?

The cars

Cheap, old, interesting or completely inappropriate. Minis and Italian cars will be especially welcome.

The adventure

About ten days on the road, crossing Europe, sharing the highs, the mishaps and plenty of memorable stops.

The people

Come with friends, make new ones, and enjoy the social side of the rally just as much as the driving.

More details coming soon

We are still working on the route, hotels, final itinerary and practical details. Those pages are already in place and will be filled in as decisions are made.

Registration will come later in the journey through the site, once prospective teams have had a chance to read about the event and decide whether it is for them.
