I know that one mate, ever tried going down a massive hill in a classic beetle? all round drums really not upto such jobs, can't imagine how scarey going down that in one would be.. Can't remember what the hills called but between York and Hull theres this massive hill (not as big as that one obviously lol), in my beetle it was 1st gear all the way up, going back down was scarey as fook, by the time i hit the bottom was going about 85mph with no brakes knowing full well theres a big corner at the bottom. Take it this way, if there was a car/lorry going other way at the bottom i would have died

Indeed, my Volvo 940 turbo does those kinds of runs regularly, and makes it home afterwards! It's done 63000 miles in the last 2 years with little more than routine maintenance.
Week before last was Milton Keynes to St Avold monday. Tuesday stayed in the Alsace, Wednesday up to Essen and down to Munich, Thursday down to Salzburg, back up to Munich and on to Stuttgart, Friday Paris, Calais and arrived back in Milton Keynes before midnight. It was 2448 miles in four days of driving, and I actually did a weeks work to boot.
Looks like an absolute blast, like somethign me and my mates would do, and the amount of scrappers we get given.. hmmmm, i reali fancy doing it if view like that are to be taken in!

My mate Steve participated in this with a Spiderman themed Mazda 626 Coupé. The car didn't finish unfortunately but he did raise quite a bit of moolah for charidee.

Sorry to dig this old thread up just wondered if anyone would like to come along?
Ive had all four of people who said they were going drop out so now it is just me
I dont mind going on my own but someone to talk to etc and someone to operate the camcorder as well as some driving if they like (and have a liscence)
Entry Fees are all paid etc may have to split costs of room but that will not be a lot.
Anyone?
Going 31st Aug hoping to be back in UK within 10 days
Would ideally suit student or unempolyed
Refuse to post a wanted add in classifieds

I feel for you had a similar situation myself for the Modball.
Word of warning when getting someone of the Forum make sure they are established members. Stilosporting will testify to that!
not very matey mates, same as my sht out 'teammate' at least he made it to day 5 and eastern europe.
or my mates teammate, who dropped out on the MORNING of leaving for our RRR rally
would love to come along, but my financial situation is dire dire dire
maybe next year I would be up for a smaller european rally or two
