Jace Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Had seriously considered taking two weeks off work to drive down to Monaco in mine next year but this sounds like a blinding idea. If the timings right I would definitely be up for some if not all of this. In terms of Charity don't the factory have some link with the National Autistic Society? I would have to admit to a bias for this as my youngest is Autistic... Jace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideways Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 ....................following the coast it's about 2750 miles on major roads ......................... Makes it a major expedition. Some trip!!! if my figures are correct, that would cost me about 500 squids in go go juice. would be a fun 500 beans though Spent less than that with the Westy V8 in the USA and we did 4500 miles!! Buzz I only get 100 miles per 20 squid tank full. maybe i should look at my mixture or stop driving in lead foot wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy1700 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Since my Daughter was diagnosed with Cancer 4 years ago and thanks to the excellent care and support she (and we) received over 2 years I have wondered on many occasions how one could ever repay and give something back to those who pulled us through.. I think i've just found a fund raising plan that may help me help those that helped us so much !!! keep me posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogman Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 January 22nd meeting with Julian Turner at Westfield, I will post an update afterwards Thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'd be interested in doing all or part of the route. I agree as per earlier posts that to tie in with a few events (factory open day, Curborough etc ) would added interest. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
