Do we have warranty?

So finally Dan can stop moaning and start driving! I have repaired the roof with good ol' gaffer tape... praise to the Vixen for being reliable... Dan seems intent on electric fixes. The interior panels get stuck under the accelerator so ripped them out. Brake light on Dash remains on - Jeff can we claim under warranty? ;-)

Route of the Sucata Run 2008

Map of the route of the Sucata Run 2008

Day 0 (Getting to Rouen) — We will get the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Le Harve, having started from London. In Rouen early on Day 1 to be at the start line for the 11.00am send-off.

Day 1 – Thursday 21st August. Rouen to La Rochelle (302 miles: 5—6hrs) We will show off our banger, meet our fellow sucateers and leave town in convoy! Setting off around 11.00am, we will be making our way down through France, through the sunflower strewn landscape of the Loire Valley, to the stunning port of La Rochelle where we will complete our first days driving on the coast.

Day 2 – Friday 22nd August. La Rochelle to San Sebastian (264 miles: 5—6hrs) Wake up the next morning to drive our banger through the endless vineyards of the Dordogne and across the Pyrenees mountains into Spain. Arriving in San Sebastian in time to watch the sunset over the idyllic shell shaped Bahia de la Conchaastianet beach.

Day 3 – Saturday 23rd August. San Sebastian to Salamanca (283 miles: 5—6hrs) Heading right into the heart of Spain we will go from coastal breeze to harsh desert landscapes as the engine's cooling system will be put to the test. Eventually we will arrive in the oasis that is Salamanca; one of the oldest university cities in Spain. It is not only beautiful to look at but also has a brilliant nightlife and loads of good bars too.

Day 4 – Sunday 24th August. Salamanca to Cabo da Roca (310 miles: 5—6hrs) The final day's driving takes us over the Spanish border and into Portugal. We will pass through sleepy ancient stone villages, proud historic cities and beautiful coastal resorts before rocking up at the finishing line at the stunning Cabo Da Roca. The weekend's adventures will then conclude with a huge party and prize giving ceremony where a toast is raised to all those unfortunate souls that didn't quite make it!
