Is that 8000 as in 8000 miles? To Budapest? Must be a lot of u-turns on the way! Wouldn't fancy driving an expensive car through the former eastern Bloc. A friend of a friend is a banker in Budapest and had his 996 taken away from him and then ransomed back to him!

No, it will be 8000 because it will have cost £8k to enter, covering hotels etc.

His parents live in Royton, although he himself lives in Leeds. I happen to work with his dad infact.

He was given the EVO, however only for this event. Took a quick snap of it in our yard the day before the start of the Cannonball -



Cheers

Go on then mate, paypal me the entrance fee across and I'll go

Would be an excellent experience, but I have more important things to spend my money on
