Sporting Bears (Motor Club) organise 10-mile passenger rides at a few selected events (some of you already help by offering your cars)

Not all the cars belong to club members so if you have a nice car (and do NOT drive like an idiot) why not follow the links and offer it

Sporting Bears Dream Rides - what's it all about

All money raised goes to children's charities in the UK

Thank you, Nigel

The next event is the big charity fund raiser for us:

The NEC Classic Car Show
9 -11 November

See PH Calendar

and

Sporting Bears Dream Rides - what's it all about

We're in Hall 2 now (not four as advertised)

This why we do it

Great news Harsh could both of you send the forms to Mick please and if you've got a spare 6" X 4" photo of Nancy's 2K that'll be handy

I think you might really like this one Harsh, see you both there, thank you both biggrin

Fantastic idea and glad to see some of the Pistonheads guys made themselves and there cars available.

If ever you are in Scotland then i would be more than happy to attend with the 911 and i am sure i could twist a friends arm with his Gallardo.

Good on you.

I have a big night out on the 8th which isn't going to help and I am coaching rugby on the 11th.

Will confirm in a couple of days wink
Cheers Steve, if you can make it please contact Mick Bryan and send in Drivers Form to confirm

Organisers are messing Mick about with where we are to be (at this late stage!)

'tis a bloody good cause!
i always aim to do at least 3 dreamrides at another show the Bears do rides at, its a simple concept - pay for a ride in one/some of your fantasy car/s and help kids in need at the same time, a great idea if ever there was one! thumbup
