Default Doing the Cannonball Run !



Well I certainly ever think I would get the chance to do this but I have, not quite the Gumball which I wanted to do a few years ago but a damn site cheaper and looks to be just as good although not quite as far.

Basically a couple of mates of mine who I know from trackdays and another site I use had booked up to do the Cannonball this year in a Capri, however just recently the Co Driver was found to have Cancer, it all came up a bit quick and before I knew it he has had a operation to remove it, this all went to plan but later blood tests have found cancer in his blood so he has sadly had to drop out of doing the Cannonball (for this year)
The place was offered to me and I could not refuse, its a huge shame for Ollie but there are realistically much more important matters to deal with right now and I hope his chance to do it will come next year.

They both have everything planned and sorted so there is very little for me to do except get my passport and clothes and turn up, its going to be a very memorable couple of days.

Any advice from Martoon or Porkie on things we should maybe be aware of would be appreciated, no doubt there will be something we have forgotten off our list !
