I'll do more once you've got more data... will start hitting the world for contributions.

Excellent...thanks very much Mike

Dick...as Steve (Riverking) says, there's a very good chance we'll bring at leat one of the vehicles back (that's because by law they'd HAVE to be LHD vehicles to stay in the Gambia)

This does actually have the potential of working superbly.....I now have well over 14 people on the list, although some are still only tentative yes's........

If it does come to it, we could almost do this thing in two shifts........drive everything down there, not having to worry about the very expensive LHD conversion, then the second team could fly into Banjul to meet us, spend acouple of days bumming around (or even better, doing something usefull at the Sambel Kunda clinic where the landies live

This would mean we can expand the list from 14 to 16 or 18 if we end up taking two support vehicles (very much trhe prefferred option)

I've got a second vehicle (Merc' G Wagon 4wd)

Wow, nice one Steve....you kept that up yer sleeve

Philip.........listen to me very carefully......

you are not having any chrome, ok???

or tassles, or leather bags with frilly bits.......

BTW, how about giving the ride a name !!! Something to identify it !!

Officially we'll be Team UKGSer again, particularly as I'm registering 'UKGSer Challenge' as a charity......

Unofficially, ideas more than welcome for something 'in house' and more catchy

[ART]...thanks for that offer mate, we may well be in touch.........it wouldn't be any good for the other teams on the challenge though, as all vehicles being left there have to be Left hand drive

Keep it coming..this is all good stuff

 

[(RIP) Kaister]

sounds like good fun to me.

don't forget to take the original shocks with you to re-fit if you're going to give it to a charity.
They won't want oversprung hard shocks.


you really want those aussie C110 postie bikes - much more 'suited to the job - but i sp'ose thats not really the point though........

How about asking ewan or charlie if they want to get 'involved' - do a stage ? etc ?

nice

...itd be great but I suspect unlikely......

A celeb involved would undoubtedly boost money raising though......anyone happen to know Richard Hammond (he's a gs'er )

Mr Hammond has been e-mailed

Dude, I'm soo confused between my right and my left! I know the car left there need to be LHD.

So let me restate that properly. The espace is a french car, so of course it is a LHD. I'll shut up now.

Bill,

I'll PM you his home e-mail.

T.I.T.S it is then

(on here anyway....perhaps not the image we want to portray for charidee purposes )

If it seems it's all gone quiet, it has.......

We're waitin on confirmation that we have acquired 6 (potentially8 ) c90's from an ex-traffic warden fleet......it's looking positive but it's not written off yet......

In the mean time, if anyone else has any leads on where we might be able to get another 8 bikes, shout out!!!

Hiya,
I was wondering already where all that traffic to hondaheaven was coming from.

Too bad it is in a box, the complete link can be found here:
http://www.hondaheaven.org/Sections-article88-p1.html

Another thing
- You need a driver from the netherlands? I think some crazy stuff like this can be arranged by some manipulation at the workplace.
- Must I bring my own Cub? Dont have one at the moment , or should I get one that is sponsored?
- I dont really get many visitors (about 6K a day atm), but any advertisement is welcome I think. Can you keep me updated a bit, I will make it a running link fest on the news section at HH.

That is all for now, I will keep an eye on this thread.

Grtz,
Keeton

 

[Fanum]

Hiya Keeton, welcome to UKGSer

I'td be great to have you along, however I now have over 20 people who want to come, so I'm afraid we're really over the numbers needed already.........



Thanks for the links though, and I'm sure we'll be perusing Hondaheacvan a lot more as we get closer to the day....and we have to start fettling the machinery
