Laughable, when will you morons realise these are just scams! they are not exclusive in any way shape or form! These rallies are ten a penny now (and have been for a while, except more and more are jumping on the bandwagon for a quick buck)

They just serve as a tool to make a stack load of cash for the organisers for doing very little other than planning a route, driving along, then going shopping and spending the £6250 (minimum in this case, ive seen other rallies rake in 15k+) of your money.

If you want to go on a rally and earn some cash for charity or whatever, just do your own euro trip, just randomly mash some pushpins into a map of europe, now thats hardcore.

Think outside the box bitches :twisted:

staples to napels is the best banger run, the organisers put alot of effort into it.

Had a couple of mates that did it in a £50 allegro last year.

Anyone would for the £15k minimum profit they made.
(interesting how previous years teams lists have dissapeared, lets just say they had well over 100 teams @ £150 min per car - only 2 people)

ITS FOR CHARITY!


sure it is...

(the individual teams however DO raise money for charity)

I got my registration email!!

My team got there *just* in time as they closed the registrations this morning!!!

Ill pay the entrance fee and anyone who wants to join the team then you just owe me a quater or 3rd of that fee!.

I preferably want 3 others to come along!

Alan can be 2nd in command, I have a friend halfway down the country who is going to see if he can get time off work and will hear from him in the next few days! So 4th person?

Do you want to be in the team? Ive always wanted to go to moscow and Berlin and so we could make a trip of it perhaps? Moscow one day and then Berlin the next then back to blighty.

Found a nice model, 760 GLE Estate for £75 however its in Bedforshire and it looks to good to do the journey in, although it needs a little work.
