Story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We, (Andy, Richard, Dan & Gareth) are travelling 3,000 miles across Europe in an old banger to raise big money for SPARKS and so we are looking for your support please. 

We will be driving in a North Yorkshire Taxi - well a Lexus LS400 ..V8  glug glug - that will be made to look like a New York Taxi but the other way round - i.e. black with yellow stickers! Picture to come soon. ( hopefully Wed or Thurs night this week )

This special car was picked up from a dodgy geezer in Manchester and has been lovingly restored by our motor engineer and co driver Richard Drury (Moorlands Garage, Otley Road, Killinghall) and is now cracker, smooth or what!! Complete with heated rear seats and the pull down thingy has cut outs for fizzy and a couple of glasses …hey style!! Not sure how comfortable (or smelly) four grown men (some taller than others!) can be in a car for four days without resorting to the sunshine roof!!  but it will be a challenge and is a great way to raise money for SPARKS. 

Business / Corporate sponsors.......ADORN the the car with your company logo... we need 1. Your donation via this site 2. Your company logo in EPS or Vector format (can do J.peg or PDF but the logo wont be as good) send to andy@get-physio.com with note and attachment. Basically bigger the donation, bigger the sticker. The bonnett and boot are still available but will cost you !!!...

.OR if anybody has gifts , goods or services that you could donate for future auction / raffle...Meal for two at ..etc etc same rules apply. 

Bob Peacock from Kall Kwik Harrogate  has kindly agreed to provide the vinyl stickers
