DJ DIDDY SETS MINIS OFF<br />

Legendary DJ, David Hamilton, waves the flag at Top Gear test track.<br />

Former <strong>Mini</strong> owner and celebrated DJ,<br />

‘Diddy’ David Hamilton, flagged off<br />

owners and guests at Dunsfold<br />

Aerodrome, home of the Top Gear test<br />

track, where they enjoyed some fast<br />

parade laps of the circuit behind a safety<br />

car, whilst being bathed in glorious<br />

summer sunshine.<br />

Called ‘<strong>Mini</strong>s at Dunsfold’ the event is<br />

organised and hosted by <strong>Mini</strong> owner and<br />

Dunsfold Aerodrome is home<br />

to the Top Gear test track.<br />

enthusiast, Jon Spriggs, and is part of his<br />

fundraising activities for The Italian Job,<br />

the annual touring event to Italy which, this<br />

year, will raise money Buttle UK.<br />

David was on hand to encourage<br />

owners taking part to take up the last few<br />

places in this year’s run. Now in its<br />

29th year, The Italian Job, like Jon’s event,<br />

is open to <strong>Mini</strong>s of all ages, shapes and<br />

sizes. The event takes participants on a<br />

tour like no other, not only does it take in<br />

locations from the famous film, but<br />

destinations off the beaten track are<br />

explored as well, and local produce is<br />

sampled. Organised by Freddie and Giulia<br />

St. George, The Italian Job has raised over<br />

£2.6 million for children’s charities to date.<br />

Jon raised a brilliant £3,551.24 at <strong>Mini</strong>s at<br />

Dunsfold, which we think is a very<br />

impressive achievement.<br />
