I been trying to think of a way to help Warren at Kai Performance raise more money for the brilliant charity they support. A good charity that is close to my heart as i have had they use of one similar for my family too… http://www.gtouk.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=38503&highlight=charity
So this is what ive come up with whilst starting my 2000 mile road trip…
I was watching the miles tick away and suddenly thought :idea:
What if loads of people pledged to donate 1p per mile i do this week ?? I will be covering anywhere from 1500-2000 miles, So at worst you will only have to part with £20, and to be fair that is nothing compared to the money we can waste on one night at the pub.( i know we would prefer to spend it on beer )
Emma and i will start it off with 1p each per mile i do this week. NO money is to come to me or Warren, You will donate it DIRECTLY to the charity via thier website.
The best part of it is nobody will actually know if you do or dont make the donation after i put up my final miles next week, However live with your own guilt if you dont :twisted: I will tell you how many miles i covered next Sunday night when i get back home…
So come on guys and gals… lets have a big shove here for a ■■■■■■ good cause…
Elton 1p per mile
2 Emma 1p per mile
3 Davebates 2p per mile

I wish i could finish there to tie it all together, but i will still be in Lake district coming home on Sunday evening,…
Thanks for Support Dave… 8)
Any more up for it ?

Day 2 and about to set off on a few more sight seeing trips and then to meet up with Ad087 and paul just over the Forth bridge…Tomorrow we off to Inverness and the Johno’ Groats the following day…
the roads here are just beyond belief, there is a road called the A68 that is just the UK version of ‘The Ring’ for me, awesome views and weather been spot on so far.
We have taken shed loads of pics too.

Just a 2 min update while i can find an internet cafe
We are now in Oban and have done 1500 miles… The GTO is A GOD and has returned an average of 420 miles to the tank and a total overall 28mpg. That is uphill and downhill all day at 80mph through many a mountain pass. Car has not missed a beat so far and has required zero maintance apart from her regular top up of 97 :lol:
Thanks so much to the few who have donated to this good cause Wazza has going. Please guys lets get some more names down.
NOT one penny of this goes to me or Wazza, the donations will be paid direct to the organisation via cheque from yourselves. Have aprox 500 miles left before we return on Sunday night. We are off to the Lake District tomorrow for 2 nights and then the trip back home.
I cannot describe the journey we have had, Driving for 8-10 hours a day and still getting out of car feeling as if we had only done 10 miles. Views are breath taking and i know photos will do it no justice. We have now taken over 300 pics :shock:
Will update next on Monday after a few hours kip…
Take it easy and once again please please get some more names up !!!
Thanks to the few who have put thier names down, Please send a cheque off to the value of £21.36 each or as in generous Daves and Mo’s case £42.72 each. So that should be a total of £170.88 for a good cause. Well done guys.
the details are on the link in a few posts up.
Will do a bit of a detailed write up with pics soon. Need some snooze first !!
had to pay mine to thier online donation thing as im offshore at the minute
