Driver wanted for Landy Rally 2009 this September!One half of a team that entered Landy Rally last year now suddenly finds herself without a husband and therefore a Discovery! Life can be so cruel, losing a Discovery like that!!! Yet fair play to her, she still wants to compete in Landy Rally 2009.
This being the case, Linda is seeking some kind soul with a 4x4 who at the eleventh hour would like to enter Landy Rally European 4x4 Charity Drive 2009 – 19th to 27th September 2009. A non-speed event (more of a glorified treasure hunt actually) the route is Calais to Calais, taking in 11 central European countries in 9 days. The vehicle can be bog standard, reliability not speed or modification being the most important factor.
She's willing of course to pay half the costs, plus, at the risk of embarrassing her, she must be a pretty good co-driver as their team finished 3rd overall in LR`08. In fact, they were only a whisker away from the runners-up spot … say no more!
This incidentally is the 3rd year in succession a driver or co-driver has been sought for Landy Rally just before the off (crews are always changing as people’s lives and circumstances change), so it would be nice to make it three in a row as forum requests proved fruitful both in `07 and `08. Fingers crossed!
Anyone interested? If so email myself Tom McGuigan (organiser, chief cook and bottle-washer) via the event website at
www.landyrally.com and I‘ll pass on your interest.
