We are endanger becoming a laughing stock.
This bulletin board has over 7000 registered members and is read by over 50,000 non registered people.

We all drive cars that cost somewhere between 8k and 40k. They give low mpg and are not cheap to run, BUT being succesful people we are proud to have our luxury toy.

The love of our car has drawn us to this BBS, where we chat with similar minded people.

So why is it then that Simon's World Record Attempt has only raised 4 grand ????????

Please go to

 

come on everyone, do your bit. its for a very worthy cause, and also ends up simon having some fun (i think thats what he might call it !!!)

how much will the most of us miss a tenner ?

and yes i have pledged.

dave

 

I have an issue here with what charity it is been given to, I know we can all vote etc, but I still may not 'agree' with the chosen charity.

I'd actually prefer my money to go to running Scoobynet, is there anyway that can be done?

Greg

 

Thank you Pete!

It is true.. we ARE all capabable of MUCH more than this.

gregh
Thank you VERY much for the thought.. But scoobynet is not a charity. There are FAR more deserved causes.

You would definitely be supporting scoobynet and helping it to continue by helping produce a value in sponsorship which made us all proud and gave the media something to talk about.

If you would like to support scoobynet seperately there are other ways as well. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the support.

All the best

Simon

Ok done, Come on guy's what's a tenner??? Petrol from your house to the shop's??

 

Greg

Pledge the money m8 - at least for all the advice you've had from me!!!

We'll sort out the charities to everyone's satisfaction afterwards, but lets give Simon some encouragement that its all worthwhile as he's doing it.

 

>> at least for all the advice you've had from me

Fair point Puff, now pledged!

 

Greg

<B>GOOD MAN HIMSELF</B>

Now the rest of you????

 

I have had so much for "Free" from this BBS

So I pledge another £10.00 (Total:30.00)

If I had not paid £K's for my leg operation (Private, abroad) I could afford and would love to be there on the Day....

If at least £10k is not raised I hate to say it ,but I would feel ashamed....

No other "Modification" for the money will make you feel better.

And bollocks even if the event is cancelled I am still paying. Even a little amount could do some child good.

WE DRIVE "SCOOBY'S" NOT "SCROOGEY'S"

 

I have too!!

Good luck Simon!!!!

 

Can i just point out - i read the thread and how i read it i had to pledge £100.

It seems that isnt the case.

I consider myself of "fair to good" inteligence.

Is it clear you dont have to pledge £100????

Could that be holding people back??

i assume the £100 is so you can turn up and watch???

Jza

Pledge to follow!!

 

Up until now, I hadn't even thought about this, but Pete posting made me feel quite guilty.

GIVE SIMON YOUR MONEY.....NOW!!!!!!
(ala Bob Geldof...Live Aid, July 1985)

I did

Good Luck Simon and everyone involved in the event.

 

Jza

A tenner will do, but I'm sure a man of your means would want to pledge at least twenty quid

 

How about a pledge for each <I>USERNAME</I> you have as well

 

Jza

VERY GOOD POINT! Thank you very much..

I never thought that this might be a confusion..

Is it worth me starting a new thread explaining that you can pledge ANY amount?

THANK YOU everyone.. if we keep this pace up until sunday we'll make the £10K! Something we can ALL be VERY proud of...

if you have not yet pledged.. do your bit to make sure the efforts of everyone else are rewarded and we raise a hill of money to be proud of!

All the best

Simon

Simon - dont think it is really thanks to pete's "blanket" posting !! With the speed you must be raising money now, you will probably have it live on TV with Lenny Henry and Terry Wogan presenting it, and a Westlife dodgy cover version fundraising single done soon !!!

Maybe not. Taxi for Dave..........

Hey Simon,

Just a suggestion, but why don't you setup a special ad banner for the event. Connect it straight to the pledge box?

Maybe i am a thicko, but if someone read it yesterday and got the same impression, and didnt look today, they may have missed out.

Can you email every single BBS user? Im sure that some people who dont have 5 days a week access would willingly part with the wedge - can you do that????

Would a re-post of the correct situation hurt??

Good luck and keep it sideways. Its hard work in the WRX - i should know!! Tesco's car park will never be the same

Jza

 

Markus,

With the greatest respect - give over!!
Pete's mails are obviously having the desired effect, right? And that's the important thing, right??
This is a one-off, and the guys only have two days more to get the support they're looking for. Who/when/where/how doesn't really matter...

Terry

 

Hey Markus - It had the desired effect... I got your attention Just hope you've pledged some money!!

Jza I didn't know, but well done M8

 

Just posted on Evo forum in the hope to get some more wonga !!!!

[Evo flame suit on....zippppppp]

Dave

 

OK Done-off to spend rest of money in off license!
Good Luck with it all.

Gav

 

Good point there pete! and yes I have <I>pledged some wedge™</I>

good luck simon!

 

WELL DONE GUYS!!!

we're really motoring now!! KEEP IT UP!

WELL DONE EVERYONE!!!

VERY best regards

Simon

Doh!!! am I a muppet or what?

Simon, was that "Make Pledge" box always there or have you just created it?

 

I'm quite ashamed I haven't already pledged.
Well done to all concerned.
My money's in

 

DONE !
