c_cars 56 Posted August 27, 2014 I don't know whether anyone from here is doing this but thought Id pop a quick post up anyway.. Banger Run is an event run by Help For Heroes, driving 4 days across Europe in a £250 car to Lake Como Italy, taking in 5 of Europes most gruelling roads, including the Stelvio Pass! This years event starts on 30th August (this Saturday) and Im entering a team, and ultimately, the reason for my post is to get sponsorship.. The overall fundraising target is £30000 and as of last night the total has reached £29000! Our chosen car is a 1993 Volvo 850 estate, a part exchange which was abandoned in our compound and with the theme this year being Best of British we've had it painted in the 1993/4 British Touring Car Volvo colours. We've got a Facebook page up and running http://www.facebook.com/jmcbangerrun where there are photos of the car and we'll be posting updates during the run. If you'd like to sponsor us you can text BNGR77 £2 (or £5 / £10) to 70070 or you can donate online at our JustGiving page http://www.justgiving.com/jmcbangerrun Thanks for your support!

c_cars 56 Posted September 17, 2014 Seeing as this has been bumped! We completed the run in our £250 Volvo, with a round trip just short of 2500 miles, including a visit of the Monza F1 circuit and a couple of laps of the Nurburgring and the whole event has raised over £35000 so far for Help For Heroes! My highlight of the trip? Going up Stelvio Pass filming (with the iPhone!) from the roof of the Volvo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
