M6 Toll Road Charity Drive "" Saturday May 10th
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 3 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).

Due to my world travels I have only just got to find the correct people to speak to.
It looks as if the 120 car spaces are full with other 'performance cars'.
I have asked if they will make space for 3 Porsche which they were happy to do.
I will be turning up in my 924 Carrera GT , can I get a couple of others to turn up?
The times are 9am to 12am - but you do not have to be prompt nor wait all the three hours.
As before, apart from the voucher to cover toll costs getting to the event, there is no return, other than supporting the charities;
Chesire Homes
Three hospices located close to the road
RNIB.
Please email me you interest and I will email some registration details.
Thanks for any help
Mike
