M6 Toll Road Charity Drive "" Saturday May 10th
As a member of the R9 I said to Jon Lord I would try and round up a few Porsches for this event
R9 has been invited by the people who run the M6 Toll Road to get a few cars to join a simple display to help increase the funds gathered at their event.
There are no prizes other than you will help make money for three charities and you will get to hang around with Ferrari, Aston Martin, and other fast car clubs.
The outline is this. The people who own the M6 Toll Road give all their takings from one day on the M6 road to three charities which they select each year. This year it is Leonard Cheshire Homes, RNIB and 4 local hospices. Apparently they give about £150,000 to each charity.
To increase the number of cars paying their tolls they want some interesting car clubs to turn up at the M6 service station and just hang out so that people will come and look and chat. Then in the afternoon all cars hook up and drive a cavalcade along the Toll Road (at what speed I do not know).
So I hope a number of you can make that day and just come have an afternoon of laughing at Ferrari drivers and their bouffant hair!!
If you are interested will you post here or mail me. Ideally it would be nice to get a simple historical line up. Nothing too detailed, a 356, 912, early 911, 73 car, 964, 993, 996 and of course a 917 and 962 - ahem.
A 944 and 928 to join my 924 CGT would be nice.
I will post something closer to the day as a reminder.
When I get the official docs in a form I can post I put them up
Thanks
