This weekend look out for The A-Team who will be rattling donation buckets during this year's Brits at the Beach festival in Whangamata.

The A-Team will be taking part in the 2015 Pork Pie Charity Run which raises funds for the KidsCan Charitable Trust who work with disadvantaged children.

The bi-annual charity event replicates the 1978 Kiwi film ‘Goodbye Pork Pie' where a stolen Mini is driven from Kaitaia in the North Island to Invercargill in the South Island.

Registrations for the 2015 event sold out within two weeks and will feature 60 Mini that span a variety of years and models.

The A-Team is made up of two families – the Agnews and the Morgans – who will drive three Minis for the epic journey.

Gavin Agnew says it's a real pleasure to indulge his passion for the Mini while raising much needed funds for KidsCan.

'I work as a teacher in Papakura and every day through my job I see cases of what KidsCan are trying to eradicate.

'But I also see the children which the charity helps, they do great work and need all the assistance they can get.”

This will be the third charity run that Gavin and wife Teresa will complete in their 1980 Mini 1000 which is identical to the car used in the film.

They will be joined on the road by his sister and brother-in-law Eryn and Mike Morgan who will sit behind the wheel of a 1975 Mini 1000.

Rounding out the A-Team are Gavin and Teresa's son Ben Agnew and his partner Tash Pollitakis who will undertake the journey in a 2000 Mini Rover Sport.

The charity run follows the exact route taken in the film and drivers covers a total of 2613km over seven days.

'Our Mini is a vintage car with 1970's and 1980's technology, so they bounce around, rattle, and have never been the most comfortable car to drive, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

'In the last run we used two tanks of petrol a day and every time we missed out on the discount for spending over $40 because we could squeeze that last little bit in.”

To date the A-Team have raised about $2900 for KidsCan but they are setting their sights much higher than that.

Everyone who takes part in the run are expected to raise $1000 for the charity, but Gavin says there have been individuals who have raised over $10,000.

The 2013 event saw roughly 42 cars enter and around $190,000 was raised for that year's beneficiary Starship Children's Hospital.

'This time we thought $1000 wasn't going to cut the mustard, so we set the goal of raising $4000 for our team.

'But because we're a team of three cars we are hoping to raise $10,000.”

Gavin would like to thank the Brits at the Beach organisers who have given them their blessing to fundraise during the festival on Friday and the Sunday.

This weekend will be a mix of business and pleasure for the two families – they're looking forward to checking out all the classic British cars and motorcycles while hopefully rustling up more donations.

'We just want to thank everyone who has donated so far, your contribution will go a long way to helping KidsCan in the future.

'This Friday and Saturday we'll be out with our buckets rattling, doing our best, and we would be eternally grateful to anyone who would like to help us along the way.”
