Apologies to everyone who sponsored us on the basis of using a Morris 1000.  This fell through at the last minute due to an eBay seller being slightly frugal with the truth.  This left us without the time needed to acquire a moggy and have the necessary work carried out.  So the decision was made to use Rhodri’s own road car.  A BMW 325 with a chipped M3 engine, uprated diff, breaks and suspension.  Basically a road missile that took us from one extreme to the other.  If this bothers you please just remember this is all in aid of charity and your donation has gone to a very worthy cause.  Thanks again, this is team CLSM signing off! =) ---------------------- If you think we’re crazy to bring a 40+ year old car to event like this, you may well be right!  But our intention is to prove all the doubters wrong.  The Morris 1000 was the first ever production car to be built in Great Britain, they were dependable and easy to work on.  Similar to Landrovers many are still on the road today and this is evidence of their reliability.  The rally is approximately 2000 miles over four days so it’s going to be a challenge.  Our top speed is probably going to be around the upper 50’s so it’s going to be slow, uncomfortable and probably noisy. But this is all part of the fun! Similar to the Gumball 3000, the rally is limited by one of two rules, firstly the cars must cost £500 or less and you must turn up on the start line with no less than £500 in sponsorship money for the rally's nominated charity. In each previous year, we have raised money for the likes of the Sussex Snowdrop Trust, Winston's Wish, Whizzkidz, CHASE and CLIC Sargent.  This year the charity is Dreams Come True who essentially help terminally ill children to realise their dreams.  It’s a great cause. Many thanks for your support. Dave and Rhod
