Sorry for the lack of updates!
Time, data and lack of WiFi caused radio silence for yesterday.
But…..
We did it!!!!!
2 idiots, over 1700 miles, five countries, in three days.
No arguments, one near miss, one police pull, countless friends made, over 1 thousand WhatsApp messages received but most importantly £1840 pounds raised for dementia UK and over £83000 raised by the Skinflint Rally so far this year!

Thanks you all so much - I will bore you all with million pictures of mountains, cars and cars on mountains in the next couple of days

This time next week it we will be arriving in Calais to start the skinflint rally!
That’s buying a car for £500 and driving it from Calis, to Dijon, on to Turin, then over the Swiss alps via the St Bernard Pass, through to Monaco, to our final destination of Nice.
Many thanks to all of you who have donated both on line and in the shop we have now raised over £1400 which is absolutely amazing!
Here is the completed car, well there are 2 more names to be added to the side one of which is Ann Widdecombe (because somebody has a sense of humour 🙄) the other is Rigby Motors who helped us out of a tight spot this week, so gets a special thank you https://www.facebook.com/share/1HDsiUQUSr/?mibextid=wwXIfr

As SY Comms feel it is acceptable to leave a business without being able to receive incoming phone calls, unfortunately we will not be able to take phone orders again this week
