Dumball - minus 20 days - Above and beyond.

Last week the staff from the RBS offices in Alton took the time to raise some money for our charity. They all got into the spirit of the day and managed to raise almost £400 for Leukaemia Research by washing cars and having a sponsored dress down day. We would like to say a really big thank you to everybody that took part and to all those who donated their money. A special thanks to Rebecca for helping to organise things and to Luke who agreed to have his hair and beard shaved off to raise even more money.

Thanks again to everybody at RBS Alton.

Dumball - minus 27 days - The Shaguar is born.

With 4 weeks to go we have got "Lil" back from her "beautification". A real big thank you to all the guys and girls at Hawes Signs who worked so hard to get her ready for us. As you will see from the photos below she is transformed. Please pay special attention to the Shaguar rebranding exercise done on the back of the car!

Well our car, nicknamed by Graham as ‘Fag Ash Lil’ due to the high levels of nicotine ingrained in every crevice, has now gone off for her transformation from Ugly Duckling to Beautiful Swan. She made the epic journey from Passfield to Milton Keynes effortlessly and this certainly bodes well for the trip. Graham conveniently felt a trip to the US was in order to avoid the risk of being called out to a breakdown!

Lil (as we like to call her) is being sponsored by ECCE International, who have kindly agreed to transform her with the Union Jack, target etc. We’re hoping to have her back in the next week and will post some photos as soon as we can.

Here's a couple of "before" pictures (Nice isn't it!).

Hi everybody and welcome the the International Men of Mystery Dumball Blog.

First - A big thank you to Tim, Russ and Sammie for getting us up and running with this.

What a brilliant job they have done. "Groovy Baby" Thanks.

Plans for the rally are going well. We have a Toyota Camry (SHAGUAR) which we bought for just £350. It's done over 140,000 miles but seems to be a good runner and we have no doubts that it will get us there. It has a 3 litre petrol engine so if anybody has a fuel tanker heading that way let us know. Next job for the car is to get it painted with a Union Jack. We also have some sponsors that have volunteered to put their names on the car (must be mad!) so after painting we will be applying their logo stickers. Once the car is painted and stickerised we will be taking it to various places to show it off and hopefully get loads more sponsorship.

Please remember to visit the Justgiving site and sponsor us. All of your money will go directly to Leukaemia Research and is not used to fund our trip in any way.  Thanks for your support.
