We're The Sane Ones!

The more we find out about this event, the more we think that we might be the only normal ones taking part (although some may beg to differ!). There is a 'secret' message board where those who are taking part in the 'Run' can discuss their cars, problems, hopes, fears and money raising progress. Reading between the lines, most of those pouring out their hearts on there are totally potty!

Here are a few examples;

There is an entrant called G-Banger who has kitted out a battered white '93 Fiat Poperino as a Pope Mobile, complete with a 'wibbly-wobbly' Pope glued to the bonnet. His dashboard is apparently a mass of red lights (the sort which tell you that your car is on the verge of going to the great car park in the sky). G-Banger rejected the first car he bought, so that must have been in a really bad way!



Dick Dastardly, of Team Pitstop, have a pink Ford Probe (see picture) and matching sequined pink jump suits. They are raising money for 'The Children's Hospice Association Scotland' and 'St. Gemmas Hospice'. I'm pretty sure that Pink wasn't a factory produced colour for Ford Probes! Team Pitstop have formed a close relationship with the Ford Owners Clubs in England and France who have offered to provide an emergency breakdown service should they need it, and they probably will.

Finally we expose Team 'Comeonthecoo', also from Scotland. They have a Jeep Cherokee (the Renault Scenic they originally bought never even managing to make it off the vendors drive) which has been decorated with fur to resemble a cow, or should that be coo? Lets hope that it doesn't rain!

It's good that you can occasionally take part in events like this just to prove how sane and normal you actually are!
