Default Screwball Rally

Hi all

My company is entering the Screwball rally and raising money for Great Ormand Street Childrens Hospital.

The Event will take place on September 27th - August 1st.

We have to buy a car costing no more than £750 and drive through France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Lichtestein

If you would like to donate, our just giving page is:

http://www.justgiving.com/Noisy-Drinks-Co

Any money donated will be hugely appreciated by this great cause.

Also, all of our progress from buying and prepping the cars to the actual event will be updated on our facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/events/4420...context=create

If you are a company wishing to donate, we will sell you advertising space on the car, all I would need is your company logo so I can digitally print it onto vinyl and apply.

Thanks for your time in reading this.

First update!

We have now secured our car - a pretty tidy VW Passat VR6 estate.

Seeing as though this charity event is for Great Ormand Street Hospital, our theme is Thunderbirds!

Noisy Drinks are GOOOOOOO!!!

We're going to be vinyl wrapping the car in pink - FAB 1 Styleeee

Pics of the car and the prep work will be posted as it happens.

If you can spare some pennies, please donate using the above links - it's for a great cause and apparently I've been informed that I'm going to be Lady Penelope, please make it worth my while for me to drive across Europe in a dress!!
And no, contrary to popular belief, it's not my normal weekend attire!

The Passat has finally landed in our workshop!!!

It's almost mint, just needs a little service and TLC.

Loads of updates can be expected over the next couple of weeks - as long as the donations come in It's for a great cause!!

The Screwball Rally is the weekend before the Posers Cruise.

If there is enough sponsorships coming from the ESC, I will do the complete cruise in our Pimped up Pink FAB 1 while dressed in Charactor of Lady Penelope - can't say fairer than that!
