Sounds like an amazing experience, I'm excited already.....

Hi Dogtanian

We're also on IJ this year and so excited..

Trying to sort out some sponsorship at the moment and if all else fails i'm selling a kidney or 2... Anything to get on IJ.

Are you going to any runs before IJ. Come to think of it is anyone else, who is going on IJ going on anyruns beforehand. It would be good to meet, and compare notes.

Hello,

I'm planning to do the Cotswolds run if you're going to that one? Sounds a good idea though to get together and share ideas.

I suspect the sponsorship will be much harder to get than I am imagining.

Yep, we will be on this years Cotswolds Run, so hopefully we will be able to meet up before the IJ in October.

Sounds like your doing OK on the sponsorhip if you've got someone to take care of your entry fee and fuel.

Hi All,

Heather and I have decided to take the plunge and do this years run, just sorted out the new car and will be sending the pack back next week,

Chris and Jax - if you need a couple of witnesses for the wedding we are planing to be in Venice a few days before as we are giving up our summer holiday to do the run,

Hope to do the Cotswolds run but depends if we have sold the mini or not as we get the New one on the 2nd of September

Excellent news, Jax is wetting herself now. She is so excited you are taking part.

That just about makes it perfect. Was worried about witnessess, and was thinking about getting married before we got there, now we can go ahead as we'd hoped.

Shouldn't worry about the Cotswolds run as we may still be running in the GP as well.

Catch you soon
Chris & Jax,

Chris & Jax,

Even if we have sold the old mini we will be coming over to the balloon festival anyway, will have to catch up then, will pm you nearer the time, also we are hoping to do a factory tour on the Sunday as our new mini should be built that day.

We have 2 weddings in August so we should have nice new outfits for yours.

We are think of taking the car TGV train through France on the way out to have more time in venice before the run starts as we will be driviing back through France anyway.

Speak soon cant wait

Seriously tempted to join in this year and become an Italian 'jobber' myself ... anyone know the closing date for entry forms? Looked on the official website and can find out everything but that ..!

[Heather P]

If you email freddie via the italian job website he usually gets back to you as soon as he can, we have only just joined and it was not a problem,
