A very good friend of mine, Jonny Jones (who’s no stranger to this blog’s pages) and some friends are imminently embarking on a road trip down to Monaco and back for charity.
“A road trip to Monaco and back? Sounds like a holiday if you ask me!”
Well yes, you may be thinking the above; a few chaps in modern, reliable cars, driving through France…that’s not a big deal. Except they’re not in modern, reliable cars, for this is the Crapheap Challenge 2008!
The guys have all bought older cars for under £500 and are attempting to make it to Dover…for now, I think this is the big milestone to see how many will blow up or how many will have bits drop off.
The attending cars include the likes of a Volvo 740 GLE, Ford Capri, Mercedes 300SE etc. all of which may not make it to Monaco, let alone get home again.
You can follow the guys and their antics throughout their trip by visiting and subscribing to The Crapheap Twitter Feed. When the trip is over Jonny will be busy editing all the footage and it’ll appear on Crapheap TV for everyone to see.
They’re off at 1am tomorrow morning (August 1st) so please DONATE some money for Naomi House Children’s Hospice, the charity the chaps are doing this for.
