Astroturf Xantia anyone??!
Hi all,
If anyone remembers posts from August, i was going to do my charity banger run across Europe. Well i managed it (more to the point, the car made it,
which is nice).
I managed to blag a Xantia off Avoneer from this site (nice one Pat!), think i did him a favour getting it off his dads drive too though 
Still havent got around to doing the charity website, where i wanted to raise £300 plus for a boys home in Goa, my admin skills are almost as good as
my mechanical skills! Hey ho... but fear not, as soon as i do, i'll be sending the collection plate round!
Anyhow, this is the link on ebay as i now try to offload the car. if anyone wants to see pics!

we did a charity run a couple of years ago and used www.justgiving.co.uk as the place where people could place pledges etc. Its pretty good and you
can get the gift aid relief also, which can add 25% ish to your donations.

I like the last line of the ebay ad "Once auction ends, send £50 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of auction end, and bring the rest in cash,
within 2 days. If you're local i can meet up the same night to swap if thats better for you."
How is anyone going to give you £50 or more for that!!

First off, well done on the run, second, good luck flogging car.
Finally, only stopped by the police 5 times A friend has just done the czech wrecks run, and they wouldn't let him into Poland (via the main
road anyway)

cheers all!
We did in fact feel a lot like dumb and dumber...!
Re the £50 deposit, one can only live in hope! I've in fact had a guy offering £50 cash, think he's a breaker...
Re the cops, only one speeder (my gf picked that up, admittedly i was showing her the best way to over take on little roads, ie accelerate right up to
the car in front, check the gap then fly by!), one in italy started ripping off bits of flapping grass when i was having a coffee in a service
station!
Yeah, if you get the easterns in a bad mood, they can be a pain. One of the other teams (an old 214 with dalmation fur on - not real) looked more
shall we say studenty and got the car searched for drugs!
Still, will be doing it again - thinknig of new 'jobs for the car.
