Great to see Alan Gibson Fiat, the Basingstoke dealer, step in and loan a car for Fred Dineage to film for ITV Meridian's regional news today - he interviewed the crew setting out from Cape Town to tackle the World Record for the non-stop drive back to London on Feb lst. Good exposure for the Panda in general and a fine initiative from a go-ahead dealer when nobody else could help out.

Donations to the charity Farm Africa are steadily moving upwards...the Alan Gibson Dealership are the among the bigger donors, having promised £500.
