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.
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;
