3600 miles in a 30 year old Porsche - its got to be worth something ?

Richard Crocker and Alex Fife plan to drive from Plymouth (UK) to Banjul (West Africa) in a car they bought on e-bay for £151.

We will face three ferry crossings, one desert crossing, one minefield crossing, six border crossings, mechanical breakdowns, punctures, heat, cold, oil and sand.

Our journey will be made as part of the Plymouth-Dakar Challenge 2007.  See www.plymouth-dakar.co.uk for details of the Challenge and other teams who are participating.

Our progress towards the Challenge can be followed on our blog at www.cheapusedcars.com

We hope to raise £2000 for Cancer Research and hope that you sponsor our efforts by making a donation.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now !

Many thanks for your support.

Richard & Alex
