Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit The 2012 BottomGear Challenge at JustGiving.

Four obviously absurd guys are setting off from the Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent on Tuesday 7 February 2012 aiming to drive in two vehicles and arrive in Rome at the Stadio Flaminio in time for the RFU 6 Nations match between Italy and England on Saturday 11 February. Not much of a challenge I hear you say!!

Don’t under estimate what’s going to happen….. Chaos will ensue and diplomatic relations will be stretched……

The guys are personally funding a maximum £500 budget for the purchase and fuelling of each car to drive 1200 miles…. Crazy!

With obvious defeat staring them in the face, the aim in true charity style is to raise as much money as possible prior to and en-route in aid of the Variety Club.

The guys are aiming to raise £10,000…..!!

·Will the cars even start?

·How many times will they break down en route?

·Will they even make it across the English Channel?

Setting off from the Bluewater Shopping Centre at 9am on Tuesday 7 February 2012…….. Let’s get ready for what is going to be one of the funniest tours ever!

Any motor critics who hate Marina’s turning up to see the guys off?
