Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page

We are inviting you to follow us and support us through this page, and above all, sponsor our challenge and raise as much money as we can for Eastwood Memory Cafe that is very dear to the local community and relies on donations and fundraising..

So how did we get here?

It all started with a conversation in the pub, like all mad ideas do, 😁

Our friends were talking about the Rust Bucket Rally and the driving adventures they have whilst raising thousands of pounds for charity.

Lake Como, Alps, cars and antics were all mentioned. We were hooked and before you know it, committed to a trip to Lake Como and back in 4 days in cars costing around £1000. (Hence the rust bucket).

Our team - The Grand Tour(ment) was born

We have invested our own money for our car, running costs, hotels, ferries etc to raise money for our local charity - Eastwood Memory Cafe.

The challenge will take in 5 countries, over 2000 miles, 2 alpine passes, taking shifts to drive in old cars where anything can happen. But we don’t just do it by our selves - there are another 20 rust buckets in convoy!!! I haven’t even mentioned the antics that occur with the water pistols, silly string and all sorts of other shenanigans!!!

Please help us smash our target of £1000
