Benidorm Banger Rally

[dawsondj01]

hi guys, ive entered the benidorm or bust banger rally taking part in september, I'm raising funds for marie curie cancer care. its a 1500 mile journey 1 way that starts in blackpool. it will take 4 days. 2 nights in benidorm and then ive got to drive back home, so 3000mile in 1 week. and I'm doing it in this:


I'm looking for anyone to sponsor me for a great cause, also looking for company sponsors to help out, or if anyones got any tyres wheels anything to help me out with the preparation of the car.

That's not a banger though? Looks like a nice little modern daily driver to me.

It's a Fiat, it's more then a year old, so it's a banger. ;D

if you want sponsorship, its best to get a page set up on www.justgiving.com, makes getting money over the internet easier, and you can get more from using giftaid too

and yep fiat older than a year old= banger, lol

I doth my invisible hat to you sir for you are truly barmy ;D

lets hope you have picked up a reliable fiat (if there is such a thing) and it manages the whole journey (I wont say in comfort because thats not really possible is it )

by the way I'm not mocking the little cinqs. I love them. but after riding in a seicento for short distances I can only imagine a cinquecento on a trip like that is certainly going to be an adventure. a good adventure nonetheless

[dawsondj01]

hoping it will be an eventful trip, certainly wont be comfy, i drove it from bath to leeds when i bought it and i was in agony, but it adds to the adventure and hopefully people will see it as been a challeng and sponsor me for it. really looking for some company sponsors if anyone is interested, also wanting somewhere to wrap the car if anyone knows of anywhere.

Sorry chap - charity threads are a no-no, car content or otherwise. Hope it goes wel all the same.
