Thought I might create a thread for any tumble weeds that blow by.

I did the 2014 and 2015 Rally, missed this year (got married and went on a honeymoon instead) and have now signed up and been accepted for shitbox rally 2017.

The route is Adelaide to a Cairns. Via the Oodnadatta track and Plenty Highway.

The event is a MASSIVE fundraiser for the Cancer Council. Teams need to raise a minimum $4000 and the total usually reaches at least $1 million each year.
I'll throw updates and pics up as we prep and do our fundraising and then head off.

Our car for next year is a 1988 240GL Volvo!

Team mate delivered the Volvo this morning. It's actually really neat and straight. Runs well. Seems a good car.

We ran the fundraiser bbq at one of the closing down Masters stores on Saturday. Very busy with everyone trying to grab a bargain. And they all decided to get a sausage too.
Total profit for the day $709. Which we're very happy with for one days work.
Nothing happening with the car yet. Still waiting to register it first.

With our team name being High Voltage we found this sign appropriate.
