Porto or Bust Banger Rally · 26 September 2022

Our overriding aim is to provide practical and immediate support to ex-service personnel who have serviced in the Rifles Regiment whether they have sustained injuries, suffer from PTSD or need vocational training so they can get a worthwhile job.

Story

Me and my old pal Ian are attempting the Banger Rally Challenge 2022 called Porto of Bust.

During which we will attempt to get an old beetle we bought off eBay from Cornwall, around ten countries in Europe and ending up in Porto Portugal. Every day you are set challenges and have no idea where you are going from day to day. All the time in fancy dress, the entire week, never taking it off and staying in character. Then meeting in the evenings at campsites and seeing how the teams did. Our team name is "Free Love On The Free Love Freeway", we are all about spreading love and generally opposing the bombing of North Vietnam.

Just Rifles really got me out of a tight spot, when i was completely on my arse with my mental health they were there in a flash, helped me back up and got me back on the road. They do this stuff all the time in the background for veterans like me, not seeking reward or anything. They are literally saving lives.


We have paid for everything ourselves from the car, to entry and all the expenses of the trip. Alls we ask is if you can spare a few quid then feel free to donate.

Cheers and wish us luck
