COVID UPDATE - ITS BACK ON, THIRD TIME LUCKY

Scotty turned 50 last year!! The milestone event prompted him to create a "bucket list" and a car rally across "outback Australia" was at the top of the list. Luckily Davie was already on the waitlist for the Shitbox Rally and the stars collided...... We submitted our application and it was accepted!! That is how an Englishman, living in Sydney, and a Scotsman, living in Melbourne, come to be driving a car (bought for less than a grand) from Mackay to Darwin in aid of the Cancer Council in Australia. Of course, the slightly longer version is that COVID has cancelled two rallies and finally we are all systems go.

We will be doing serious training for this. We are setting up our lounge rooms to simulate sitting in old vinyl car seats while pounding the 3,000 kilometres of corrugated roads that we will encounter, breathing in red bull dust and listening to Dire Straits on the station wagon cassette recorder...... It is for these sacrifices and the great charity that we are supporting that we ask for your support and sponsorship. We have raised $6,175 to date, thanks for those that donated first time round and we have opened this page to top it up. Please give what you can.

The Event: Shitbox Rally 2020 (Spring)What it is: Grab your best mate. Buy a car for less than $1,000. Paint it up to look cool. Get it to Mackay somehow. Drive from Mackay to Darwin with all the other Shitboxers. Have heaps of fun on the way. Make new mates. Sell the car at auction for the charity. Celebrate with a cold lager..... Fly home. Bore everyone with how much fun you had.

The Car: BMW 318i 1997 called "Aunty" after an extremely generous benefactor who is very excited about this adventure and gave a generous donation towards it.....

The Charity: The Cancer Council in Australia

The swashbuckling rally drivers: Scotty Hadfield & David Anderson
