A couple of my friends had booked up to do this years Cannonball Run, for those of you that know nothing about it then click on this link ..
www.cannonball8000.com .
The Co driver was sadly diagnosed with Cancer a few months ago and a operation to remove the cancer failed, he goes into hospital next week so he will miss the event.
For this reason he has asked me to take his place for it, a offer I could not refuse, pricey but well worth it !
We will be driving a 1979 Capri fitted with a Rover V8, its no Porka or Ferrari but its going to be quite a adventure in it thats for sure.
We leave a week this friday from Earls Court London, we travel as far as Budapest where we will try out the Hungarian F1 circuit then we plan to visit the Nurburgring on the way home.
All costs have been covered for the event but we are still looking for sponsorship if anyone can help or has any good ideas then I would be pleased to hear them.
The event will be broadcasted on ITV1 and ITV2 so there will be plenty of good advertising available.
Please make sure you tune in to the show and my aim is to keep everyone updated with our progress along our way.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to writing to everyone from a land that seems far far away right now !
Regards
James
