• Charity Drive

    Posted by Andrew Boyle on April 20, 2010 at 8:49 am

    I’m doing a charity drive in the summer and I’m just creating a wee bit of awareness at the moment to see if some of the larger companies will make a donation to either of the charities….anyway, if you could become a fan through the facebook link that would great, and maybe a pound a bit closer to the time.

    Thanks A lot

    Andrew 😀

    Count me in for a few bucks, if I can figure out how to send them.

    Looks like quite a trek, but for a very worthy cause.
    The caravan reminds me of the teardrop trailers here, always wanted one.

    Hi folks…

    I just wanted to resurface this thread in the hope some of you could maybe
    help by making a donation. Andrew & Drew have done great so far and are just by the half way mark on their target…

    Go on, you know you want to! 😛

    Thank you very much in advance…

    Thanks John… and everyone else.

    I had a test drive yesterday and it struggled up the Haylie Brae. A lot of paint came off when i removed the wrap…..a similar amount of skin came off my fingers 😀

    Thanks everyone, I’ve been saying thanks on the facebook link so as not to jam this up …Cheers

    Looking forward to dispatches from the Snail and Tab! 😀
