Story

4th -8th June 2026 - Charlie Bryant, Iain Fairweather, Jack Bryant and Ian Ellison — are taking part in the Rust Bucket Rally, a charity motoring adventure across France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

We’re doing it in support of Petals, an incredible charity that provides specialist support to couples affected by baby loss — a cause very close to our hearts.

Like all the best ideas, this one started in a pub on a sunny summer’s day after a few too many beers… and has somehow turned into reality. Our vehicle of choice? A 2002 Volvo V70 diesel, bravely stepping up as our steed for the journey.

The rules are simple:

👉 Complete the rally in a car worth no more than £1,000.

Any support our lovely friends and family can give — whether big or small — would be hugely appreciated and will go directly to supporting the amazing work Petals does for families when they need it most.

Thank you so much for being part of the adventure ❤️
