i am game!!!! anything that involves driving LONG distances and raises money for charity can only be a good thing!
 
not trying to burst ya bubble but Mate of mine has been arranging a gumball rally for the summer i will try and get ya the day so it dont clash. he's been sorting out the legal stuff and the gumball bloke who ever he is is even getting involved with it now. he is trying to sort out the hire of northwild market @ the cost of about £30000 for the weekend. he recons that there will be about 10000+ places avalible for this rally and loads of prizes like get ya car pimped, cash prizes and loads of runner up stuff like head units and full systems. its aimed @ everyone not just the gary boys of this country but everyone. will be advertised after new year on vibe fm and will be in all the car mags. rally will be from northwild to newquay then back again the next day. think there is going to be a big market sort of things with loads of display stands.
also none of this has been confirmed and no dates have been given but if it does goes ahead then it should be a good weekend.
and if it dont then he aint gonna hear the end of it as its all he has been arranging for the last few months lol

if ya need any info on the legal side clio mk1 then let me know and he will probabley be able to tell ya how he sorted it. good luck with it it dont seem easy task he's giving up his job to sort it out.

It is being held in May, exact dates are on the website along with more info!

bsimmer3000, that sounds good but this one is just to raise money for charity and is not a race as thats when you have to get into the legal side of stuff! Which is really 2 much work for me! Im just wanting to get a good group of cars on a tour around the country! Ask your mate to get in touch with me and we can discuss ideas!

Take the 182! By the time you pay for the hire and then diesel it'll be cheaper! 1000 mile round trip, how much 4 petrol in a 182 4 that?

would a sign written car be allowed? reckon i could borrow a car from a local garage here, they would make a v.nice sized donation too, but would probably want their signwritten car to enter, is that allowed?

What difference does it actually make which way you go?! If anything I'd want to start at the furtehr away point so that its not so far to get home afterwards when your knackered but hey ho I live in Scotland and will strat wherever the run starts from

Exactly, as we said before everyone still covers the same distance no matter where they start!

But becoz of the amount of work arrangeing 2 events there is now only going to be one, around the country!!!

Website will be up tonight or 2moro morning, just putting the finishing touches to it now!

Cheers

Mmmmm thats for ponting that out 2 me!

So therefore I have changed the run a little bit so that it will mean we can all stop off at the FCS, coz again I want to go as well! So it will be an early start on the saturday morning if you want to get to the FCS! I think by including a event like this makes the whole event better as people from the event can go on the 1/4 and stuff like that! and it will also drum up attention to the event!

Cheers

sounds really good, definately liking the idea, entering as soon as i get paid, i think there will be alot more than 100 people intrested though, i think it will be closer to 250 by closing date.

I'm abit shocked at the change in route,
what about people who dont own a french car are they all gooing to want to sit at the FCS all day?

If I might make a quick point.

As this is in aid of charity I can imagine alot of people will be looking for sponsorship.. Indeed the site encourages you to talk to local businesses with the possibility of placing stickers/logo's etc on the car.

As it's for an extremely good cause I was looking forward to 2 days of driving through the whole country while no doubt promoting the charity as we went. However I'm now unsure as to how willing potential sponsors will be upon finding out this is now effectively a 1 day run through Scotland with the second day spent at what in their eyes is a "Hot hatch meet"..

i am guessing ou cant say too much but in the first day is it Liverpool to Scotland then an overnight stay or Liverpool - Scotland - Newcastle then an overnight stay? where in the UK is the FCS?

Well as 99% of the people on this forum have french cars I though that as you guys helped me a lot in making the event possile then its a way of making sure as many of you as possible can enter!

The event will run from liverpool to scotland then to newcastle in one day, then off from newcastle early on day two to the FCS and then back to Liverpool to finish.

People wanting to go the the FCS can leave early on day 2 to make it there on time but if you dont want to go then you leave later and just arrive at the checkpoint then set off right away for Liverpool. Stopping at the FCS is optional.

When you enter the event you will be sent a information park with sponsorship forms in it, these are offical and will be sent back to me after the event. I realise the site is a bit vague in detailing this and I will up date it now.

Cheers
