Hi guys, Russell from the Wishes4kids charity has asked me to help source a COBRA to be part of the 40 strong fleet giving rides at Donnington for terminally ill and dissadvantaged children on Friday 30th July. If you are able to help please contact Russell on russell@wishes4kids.co.uk and offer your services. Here is a link to get a flavour of the event:

You will be assigned a "bus stop" and 2 helpers to load your car, and will be driving an approximately 60 second sprint type course around the dissued historic part of the track. It is perfectly smooth with no chance of stonechips and a quick car will reach 90mph. Please do not volunteer if you have no intention of going as the charity puts a lot of effort into making posters ect. of your car so the kids can pick which cars they would like to ride in. No-shows cause chaos!!! I warn you it is quite emotional at times and do not mind admitting I cried my eyes out in the car once, but it is a VERY rewarding day. Over 200 kids will be attending this year, so if you can help please contact Russell ASAP.

  • * If you also have something VERY rare like a Stratos or similar then also it may be worth contacting him.....

Oh the camera loves you Lee.
Brilliant that you and the rest go to all that effort for the kids.
I take it apart from the Cobra you have enough cars now?

Yes thanks, Roger and Pete do it for GTM, the organisers like no more than 2 of each car so there is massive variety.

Hi Lee
I've just dropped Russell a line. I'd be happy to give the kids rides in my Hawk if he still needs some cars.
Cheers
Rob
