Queen and Country (BABE)

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.

OK we know a few people have been dropping out of the lottery syndicate but that's a bit pathetic :-)

"Scrip Are you suggesting that they whore themselves for more money:-) "

I understand they are experts at this?

Gausie - 24 May 2007 12:28 - 206 of 269

Scrip - name the sign and the price, and I shall instruct Martini.

We havent 'pimped' our ride for nothing :-)

You can see Queen and country on this website among other photos of the competing cars. " Brits and their semi convertable Olds"

Had a look and the integrated radio station was playing The Who's Baba O'Reilly. Perfect!!

edit - maybe that's the only track on there.

Bullshare - 24 May 2007 20:50 - 214 of 269

Just spoken to them while they are on route. They are on Route 66 and have done about 350 miles so far and all is well, famous last words.

P*ssheads :-)

Sat in carpark in some hick town in North Carolina smoking my hooka after a long day on the road with some phenomenal views. Some real doozy pics to post, which I'm sure M will post up soon.

Thanks for todays donations!

Martini - 26 May 2007 11:49 - 221 of 269

OK some pictures from the second day.

Obviously we were asked to dress as Elvis and during the 350mile drive down to Asheville North Carolina through some stunning scenery we set the task of getting 10 photos of ourselves with as many other people as we could. The Lorry that had dropped its rear wheels off the road nearly stopped us on one of the smaller mountain roads but we squeezed the Olds through.

Today we drive Gadsden Alabama through the famous Deals Gap 318 turns in 11miles one every 50 yards.

Regards
M
