CzechWrecks-1500 miles in a 100pound car

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.
Our Team name is Air Farce 1 and our challenge is to buy a vehicle worth less than £100 and drive it from Calais through France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria and finally ending up 4 days and 1500 miles later in Zlata Praha (Golden Prague).
The event name is Czechwrecks or CRX for short.
On the way to Prague, CRX crosses the Swiss Alps over the Simplon Pass and climbs the Passo Del Stelvio - probably the highest mountain pass in Europe. We are hopeful that our 1994 Volvo 850 will see us through to the end. If it does not we will be hitchhiking till we get there.
The car cost us £99.99 and the paint job is a farcical attempt at the colours of Air Force 1. The rear wing section offers no improvement in performance or handling.
We are trying to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research so please sponsor us online. No amount is too small.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK 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, the government pays.
So please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support.
Mondo, Andrew and Robert
