Greetings oh generous and weary web surfers (with deep pockets!).....
The gauntlet has well and truly been thrown down....
On the 30th June, Mike Tinsley, Ollie Gray and Ashley Goodchild AKA "Lexus Entertain You" will be undertaking the Urban Allstar Rally, a 5 day, 2000 mile round trip from High Wycombe to Prague in an old banger that costs less than £200!
The rules? Simple. Make it back in one piece, raising as much money for charity as we can and performing whatever ridiculous challenges that stand in our way.
The Charity
This year, we have chosen to support The Iain Rennie Hospice at Home Trust who provide specialist and supportive care and advice for patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses in their homes. they also aim to help the relatives and those carers close to the patient during the illness and bereavement period.
It costs £4.8 million each year to provide their services which they offer for free, but less than 10% of this cost is refunded by Primary Care Trusts.
Every person at some point in their lives will know someone who has cancer or who has lost someone close to them through life threatening illness - so please do dig deep to help such a worthy cause.
Please feel free to make any sponsored suggestions to us of anything slightly off the wall that you would like us to perform whilst on the rally - of course we will take photographic evidence! Go on, Lexus Entertain you!!!!!!
The Charatable Chariot......?
We've trawled eBay, AutoTrader, GumTree, Scrap yards - you name it we've been there, trying to find the creme de la creme of bangers...
This year, we will be putting the ultimate 90's yuppie machine - the mighty Lexus LS400, through its paces (and hopefully not into a hedge around the Nurburg Ring! ;-) )
The route
On the outward journey we will be taking the Ferry from Dover and over the 3 days will travel through 6 countries from the windmills of Rotterdam, through the volcanic lakes of the Eifel mountains to the famous German race track the Nurburgr ring named the 'Green Hell' by famous racing car driver Jackie Stewart. The outward leg of the rally ends in Prague the picturesque party capital of the Czech Republic. Returning home via the picturesque Black Forest High Road over the next 2 days.
A big thankyou to all of those who supported us in 2009 and 2010 and we hope we can raise even more this year for a very worthy cause!
