Is there a link for the rally so people can see what distance your covering and terrian type so informed suggestions can be made.
Well done for going for it mate i wish it was me.

Hi Horses.. theres a set of 16" AT's on knuckleskinner at the moment, just got back from the shed.. yours freebie gretis.. rims i'm flogging when knuckleskinner is fired up to fund brakes and martha is funding (partially) the rims / tyres.

wont be for a few months , not much tread left, 3-5mm? at a guess.. good for spares but your more than welcome..

A worthy cause, buried a friend (Jim) on Monday in Aldershot, RSM in Paras, left wife,kids and grandkids..

needless waste but again a worthy cause..

John

http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/4x4_eur ... rally.html
this is last years but basically the same route so about 2000 mile over 10 days ending in austria

Hey Horses,

I got some AT's down the side of the house. They look nearly brand new. I know one is reserved for Roo, but if you want the other two, there yours.

Next up, which truck you using? How much room is there not covered by stickers already? And how prepared are you to get it covered in stickers?

Are you looking for sponsorship from companies, or foggers?

I have a jerry can with spout thing that you can have, but bear in mind they won't let you take it on the ferry with fuel inside it.

It's a bit beaten up, but I don't think it leaks :roll:

Hey Rob, I have 2 20ltr jerry cans you can use and any recovery equipment I have.

On another note. do you have a co-driver yet as I would be up for that and it also halves the cost. Dont mind if you wanna go in Angelina either

On a slightly different subject but still related to the original post.....

How about a fund raising day of some description for all the foggers who want to help fund the trip ?? Even if it just be a BBQ or party somewhere.
That way we could all donate prizes for a raffle and all monies made go to Rob to help subsidise fuel, spares, etc, etc.

Just thinking out loud sorry.

Cheers
Dan

If you need the use of a decent camera and camcorder to document your trip let me know.
Also would you be willing to put my company logo on your truck in exchange for a fuel donation?

Are you looking for a min amount for fuel donation in return for a small sticker on yer Fronty? I don't have a company but might be able to scrape some cash together to get my blog advertised on your truck! And as you say, its a great cause
