Story

21st-23rd May 2010, Bristol-to-Barcelona in a car that cost's less than £200!  "No problem"


As with most succesful racing teams past and present we have left nothing to chance with our racing machinery by teaming up with Mercedes-Benz. We have two cars in our team in case of reliability issues, that way if one car breaks down the other can help by spraying the occupants with water from their Super Soaker Canons and drive off into the sunset choking with laughter.
Unfortunately we dont quite have the full factory backing from Mercedes and have had to make do with a nineteen year old 190E costing £150 from a slightly shady character in Horfield, and an E220 which came from an ex-mafia boss in a witness protection program somewhere near Bath.

We've also had a few problems getting professional drivers to pilot our finely tuned German racing machines, Despite having a rock solid contract with Michael Schumacher he let us down at the last minute when he decided to race for the Mercedes F1 team, he will be hearing from our legal team soon. According to McLaren Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton could apparently be "a little tired" after competing in a short 2 hour race in Monaco the week before. So for our marathon event we will be relying on the slightly less well known petrol heads listed below.

 

CAR 1

Nick K - Some say that his genitals are on upside down, and that he was turned down for I'm a celebrity because people have heard of him... all we know is, he's not the Stig.

Chris C - Some say that he appears on high value stamps in Sweden, and that he can catch fish with his tongue... all we know is, he's not the Stig either.

Paul M - Some say he can swim seven lengths under water, and he has webbed buttocks... all we know is, he could be the Stig.


CAR2

Steve A - Some say he isn't machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve... all we know is, he's not the Stig.

Richard A (sometimes referred to as Rich, Dickie or just Dick) - Some say that he once lost a canoe on a beach in the north-east, and that he once did some time in a prison in Canterbury, because his teddy is called The Baby Jesus... all we know is, he's not the Stig.

Harry A - Some say that each of his toenails are exactly the same as a woman's nipples, and that he thinks that "credit-crunch" is some kind of a breakfast cereal... all we know is, he's not the Stig.

Gary S - Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York. And that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face... all we know is, he could be a reincarnation of Black Stig who was killed to death when he crashed his Jaguar off the end of an aircraft carrier.

Seriously though, we have dedicated this to a very good cause so please give something to help St. Peter's Hospice. They give so much care & support to so many and need to raise mind boggling amounts of money to keep going. You can find out more here http://www.stpetershospice.org.uk/

Also we want you to know that ALL the donations will go to St. Peters and will NOT fund any part of our trip, we are funding everything ourselves.
