Hi!
On 14th August, we are embarking on a Banger Run for Help for Heroes that we have organised ourselves in cars costing no more than £250 each. We are driving along a route that covers an ambitious 12 countries in 4 days, including the Nurburgring and Monaco GP circuits, mountainous roads through the Alps and leading up to Andorra at the end of the run, all going well!
