Deal top Dundee Charity run
My son and two of his mates are going to do a charity run from Deal, Kent to Dundee on behalf of the Air Ambulance. In Top Gear style they have each
got to buy a car for under £200 and travel to Dundee not using motorways. They have ask me to set them challenges on route, I have a few ideas, but I
think your guys will no doubt have some brilliant thoughts on what to give them to do. Have a look at there website on www.reverse-gear.com and please
some comments as they are working so hard on it and if you feel like making a donation to the Kent Air Ambulance, you never know when you may need it,
just £1 would be great go to www.justgiving.com/reverse gear Cheers Barry

How about some sponsored laps at a race track to see which is the fastest lap?

nearest track will be knockhill.....
you could have chosen a better destination other than Dumpdee.......
something like Romania or the NoordKaap would be better as theres the language barrier as well. even better send them via tounge and JOGroats
Heck I drove down to london a few times to pickup parts.... down in the night and back in the day 24 hours round trip towings a bugger for slowing
the trip down....

On the other hand, the name of the trip has to be snappy.
Rust to Rome
Deal to Dundee.
I once bought a car off Peter Simpson, the editor of car Mechanics. It had been used for a banger reliability article where 3 £100 auction cars were
taken on such a run. This one started in Peterborough, so it was :-
Peterborough to Peterhead.
I'm sure picked for no other reason than the name.
Next in the series :-
Kias to Kings Lynn.
Toyotas to Torquay
Gumperts to Greenock

On our Ramshackle rally to Valencia last year we had a few challenges:
Car Snooker using a digital camera, passenger takes snaps of the cars in colour sequence as in White Red Colour, White Red Colour & then clears
the colours. The colour values were changed to reflect the rarity of the colour & the reds reduced in number to 8 to make it a bit easier to
finish it.
Most number of items bought for under 1 Euro (in your case a pound), so all the receipts add up to less than £1.
Collect as many different beer mats as possible.
There were more challenges but I'm buggered if I can remember them now!

On the way they will drive past loads of tracks, inclluding Bedford Aerodrome, Donnington, brands hatch (at the start), silverstone (?), to name a
few.
Kindest Regards,
