Not sure if such a service already exists but....

Could we set up a 'request a ride in a supercar' type service whereby people involved in caring for unwell children could post their requests for a 'child supercar ride' etc on this forum stating what/where etc and PH members could then offer their services.

It really wouldn't take much to set up and I know that many people here would take much pleasure from giving a terminally ill child a passenger ride in the car of their dreams. Many of us here are lucky enough to own cars that are well beyond the reach of most people, lets share that with some deserving kids/parents.

Can we?
Nice idea.

Do the http://www.sportingbears.co.uk/ have any activity in your area?

Yes, Bachi from Petrol Head Nirvana and several of his kind hearted friends set up this event: http://www.thesupercarevent.com/

It aims to raise money for the Children's Trust and is a great event.

Had a good look at the brilliant Sporting Bears website.

However, the service they offer is limited to a handful of events across the country in 2013, none of which are anywhere near me. Also, these events would mean attending the event for the entire day which will not always be practical.

I just wondered if we could take it upon ourselves to put together a simple 'request a dream ride' service on PH which would open up many more opportunities.
