My story

 

I love a good "caper" movie. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World is a fave, so is Monte Carlo or Bust, and the all time great Gumball Rally. As a kid I always wanted to go on a totally spurious chase across the country for nefarious reasons to a secret destination which would be laden with gold!

FFW many, ahem, many years and now I get the opportunity to do that very thing. I would love to do the Gumball 3000 race, a chase across Europe in the spirit of the Gumball tradition. However with seats at £10 000 a pop it was slightly out of reach. The dream was still just that until I discovered the following!

It's a four day chase across Europe;
Calais ---> Paris ---> Munich ---> Prague ---> Amsterdam

But wait, it gets better.
How Stuart?
Thanks for asking. The 1500 mile journey must be completed in a car which costs no more than £500.
Woo and indeed hoo! My very own caper! We are Team 2 - Dead Stupid Drivers and although I will be schlepping around Europe for my own satisfaction I thought that I could also do it so that other benefited.


Rally has now been completed!!! Click here to see what we got up to...

It's never to late to donate though. Someone near and dear to me has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease which I have decided is to be my chosen charity and if you feel so moved you may donate to it here;
