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 if you were looking for another reason for sponsoring us how about the thought of Gausie and me dressed up doing Elvis?

From an email from the organisers: -

Each year, we select a character or theme for a "fancy dress" day ("costume
day" for the Yanks among us). This year Europe will see an invasion of
pirates and men in schoolgirl uniforms. Not to be outdone, American will
see....... >>>drum roll< <<......... Elvis.

That's right, boys and girls. How much more American can you get? Each and
every member of your team gets to be Elvis-For-A-Day.

Here's how it works:

Pick your favorite Elvis (remember the postage stamp vote several years
back?) and assemble your costume. Is Viva-Las-Vegas-Elvis your style? Or
are you more of a Love-Me-Tender-Leather-Jacket-Elvis type?

Show up at the Day 2 Start Line in Harrisonburg ready to spend your day as
The King!

While you're at it, you might want to put your heads together as a team and
decide which Elvis song is your favorite and (hint hint) learn a chorus or
two. Remember, there are points involved in daily challenges!!

'Nuff said.

So it's the King-of-Bling older Elvis, the Lemme-Be-Your-Teddy-Bear younger
Elvis, or any Elvis in between, the choice is yours. Team members do not
need to choose the same Elvis era, by the way.

Have fun getting your act together, so to speak, and we'll see you and your
pompadours in Harrisonburg!

thankya...thankyaverymuch

That email is perfectly timed. Am currently checking out white jumpsuits in the Las Vegas King store.

Big problem for Martini - they dont do chest wigs in white.

M + G

It wasn't a donation, it was a bloody bribe for the back seat, do buck up and read between the lines ;)

Martini - 04 May 2007 17:38 - 104 of 269

ptholden - 04 May 2007 18:03 - 105 of 269

Martini - 04 May 2007 18:09 - 106 of 269

Well the free flight ticket comes with donations over 1000 :)

Of course anyone with half a brain would have chosen one of the two sister events, both leaving from Calais :-))
