spiderpigcity Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Right then folks. I have just reserved myself a place on the Cannon Ball Run Europe for July 09. 5 Days. I am looking for sponsorship or any help with parts and tyres etc. The car will be a t67dbb Auto (modified) silver supra, (some parts from Paul at Whifbitz). Space will be available for stickers on the Bonnet, Boot, Spoiler, Doors, Wing mirrors, Bumpers and front & rear windscreen. S.S.A.F.A soldiers, sailors, airforce association the patron been the Queen. All money raised will be donated to the Charity for SSAFA . All you traders out there get yourselves rammed in and help us out. Any support would be appreciated by members. They will also be making a documentary on it as well , so there is a good chance i can wangle my way into that. 3000 miles of Full Boost!! I will be doing the trip with my old mate Jonhy Boy (age64). He is a right laugh and thinks he's still 18. (Anyone who wants to donate their misses for 5 days is welcome. Only 2 seats in the back so spaces are limited) I will be filming it all the way. (DVDs of the film will be available for a small fee) Again any ideas and support is most welcome. Lets see how the Supra stands up to the rest!!

AJI Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I was hoping these events were going to be phased out. All they do is give performance and sportscar drivers a bad name. And they definitely give the British a bad name in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The profile has changed since 07 when 2 people died. its not about bling cars anymore. its more about charity. a smart car won last year.

Matt H Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Gone are the days where people raise money for charity by doing hardships. Sit in a bath of beans for two days and i'll throw you a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good on you for doing charity work (Even if it is enjoyable!) There seems to be alot of bad feeling towards these cannonball/gumball etc events due to some rather selfish and wreckless action by an individual who killed a couple (Last year?), and now everyone who takes part seems to get tarnished with the same brush. Good on you I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you 50p not to do it to yourself. not really profiled for pissups and chavs anymore, since the accident in 07. its more about charity and meeting people really. they also dont want the verons and stuff either. including fuel and entrance fees you will need about 8k. and a set of tyres.

Oh from experience I know I'd need more than 1 set of tyres lol. The lack of exotica just puts me off more TBH. The days of cross-continent racing are well and truely dead.
