Hello Everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL.
I am a newcomer to your list. You will be thinking that I have strayed,
having been a member of the Healey list for some months, but I now want to
reach any one who may have an interest in British Sports cars.
My husband Peter and I are embarking on an enormous challenge starting May
1st . We have entered our Austin Healey BT7 in the 'Around the World in 80
days' Millennium challenge for classic and vintage cars.
For details of the rally organisation please look at www.carnet.co.uk
We are looking for help in various ways.
1. We invite people to come with us in spirit by joining our Supporters
Club. Details on our web-site tell you what you will receive. Allow your
imagination to take you along the Silk route or down the Yukon trail.
Gold members will receive a video after the event. Membership can be taken
out by credit card on the secure line. Please check it out.
www.aroundtheworld.scotland.net
.
I got the idea of this Club from Richard Noble of Thrust SSC fame. If any of
you were members of his Mach 1 club please consider helping us by Joining
the' Supporters of the Austin Healey Challenge' Club.
Become involved in this first in motoring history, become part of our team
2. We are also raising funds for the Childrens Hospice Association Scotland.
we invite donations or pledges per day travelled. Every day we drive , we
drive for CHAS. 100% of money raised in this way will go to the charity.
Forms are on the web-site.
3. If there is anyone out there interested in corporate sponsorship with
logos and/or web-site address on the car we can assure them of widespread
exposure. Sky television is negotiating following the rally and we will be
seen by miilions of people around the world. Please contact me for further
details..
4. I am looking for someone to sponsor us with a good quality DVD camcorder
along the lines of the new Sony PC100 which at the moment costs about
£1,490.
Any offers?
If anyone would like more info and /or a photo of us and the rally car
XRU 100,
please contact me direct.
I have received considerable help from the Austin Healey Clubs in America.
Please ask all your clubs to consider membership.
Yours in speed,
Ann Hunt
Member of the Royal Scottish Automobile Club
PS My only claim to speed was a lesson with Anne Hall round the Nurburgring
Grand Prix circuit in an Austin Healey - not quite 200 mph but very
exciting. The word 'brake' didn't seem to feature vey much, more ' hard to
floor, NOW, NOW!'
