Sponsor Your Queen and Country

BABE Rally 2007 - From BA (Big Apple) to BE (Big Easy), a total drive of 1500 miles in four days on the east coast of the USA, in a banger yank tank that has to cost less than $250.

In a moment of madness, Martini and Gausie have entered a team - "Queen and Country", the entry has been accepted, and so long as we can get all of the prelims in place, at the end of May we'll be setting off from New York with "New Orleans or bust" ringing loudly in our ears.

In case you're wondering, we'll start with Martini as Queen (Gausie will be Cunt-ry) and we'll swap over every now and again.

We'll be raising money for Save The Children, and hopefully, in due course, some of you guys will dig deep.

We're planning on getting a car in late April and flying out a week early to prepare it for the journey - which is at the end of May.

We'll be looking for a car with acres and acres of metal and rust, a decent set of brakes, an engine and gearbox that stands a chance of getting us 1500 miles, and a very loud stereo. We've decided that an open top is mandatory - even if we have to take a cutter to a saloon. A custom paintjob is planned, given sufficient time.

Arrived The Staten Island Hotel

Plenty of room to park the car in the foyer.

Grumpy arrived yet?

Take the yellow thing with the open cab is my tip. Great bull bars just in case. ;-))

Cant wait to see the resprayed car:-)

SoS
And me - exciting innit :)

The Grand Unveiling .....




Hoping to take the car when we meet DCB at the airport in 4 hours time.

Where are the white hoods & burning crosses :)

PS - looks fantastic - well done guys

Lerve the hubcaps ;)

What can I say? C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas assur

I note the CB antenna. So what's your handle?

PS: Historical note: the Union Flag should get a good reception in the Deep South. In far gone days, the Brits assisted the Rebels.

Excellent stuff guys, wish I was there, looks great fun.

well done guys,it's the dogs,have some fun,
maybe you could auction the master piece of to the rich yanks at the after party,

OK I'm happy to British rather than Welsh for a few days guys.

Good luck.

Not sure the spoiler at the back is terribly aerodynamic :-)

Nice idea putting a sail on the back.

Gausie's artist's impression was pretty accurate:

I'll make it 250 if you put 'P Dil Young, England RFU and Sir Clive, my heroes' on the car

Mike your wish is our command. Cough up.

Dead Cat Bounce has arrived safely and is in the hotel. I will leave it to him to tell how we collected him at Newark International Airport. :)

M, G and DCB: Superb!!

Did you know that if for some obscure reason those letters got disturbed as the co-co-driver leaps into the back seat you could end up with a BUM PIPE YANK?

dcb, been dying to ask - can I call you coco for short?
