My story

 
You're going to think that we are totally mad - but following on from the great success of 'Two men in a Volvo to Naples' the event is being repeated. However, there is a team lineup change this year. We are now :

Laurence Pitt - Joint Team Captain
Rod Graham - Joint Team Captain

And the car has changed as well. The Volvo last year was just too good - apart from a mild rattle in Italy when past the 100mph mark it didn't even twitch. We wanted a challenge, and so this year our steed is :
 
                                       BERYL

                         1984 998cc Mini Metro in Banana Yellow
                                 40,000 miles, FSH, Single owner

Just given her the full service and she runs like a charm.

So, even though we're totally mad, please think about making a donation? This is a wonderful charity which provides care and respite for children all over the south of England.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Naomi House Children’s Hospice (Wessex Children's Hospice Trust) 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.

Many thanks for your support.
