I am interested in getting in on a few car related charity events/days and I was wondering what kind of things you guys are involved in?

More specifically though I own a 206 so don't think that I would feel comfortable turning up to an event filled with TVRs and Astons etc, not that I wouldnt be welcomed, (it's for charity afterall) but I would feel the odd one out tbh.

what events would you guys recommend?

I always enjoyed banger rallies, but there's some real cowboy companies organising them.

One of the biggest 'companies' who are one of the original startups were quite possibly the worst bunch of idiots I'd ever had the misfortune of paying money to. When we got back we found we weren't allowed to express our displeasure on their forum and were moderated then banned. So we made sure we did on every other forum!

Anyway, back to point, I'd love a PH banger rally. Say £500-£1000 for a proper car that you can drive back, rather than the £100-£500 range that people always lie about the car costing.

In fact, lets not call it a banger rally - more like a PH future classic rally.

You're right, we took 2 E34 520i's on the last one we did.. Maybe points for originality?

Could go perhaps in a big loop like this:

Calais
Geneva
Turin
Monza
Over the Alps, say Stelvio, or one of the better passes.
Nürburgring
Spa
Calais

About 1600 miles in 4 days

Doesn't matter what car you drive. No one should judge you for what you drive.
