Hi guys

One of my best mates phoned me today, he told me about his cousin, who i havnt met. The lad is 16 years old and has had cancer now for some time, but things have got alot worse and hes only been given 3 weeks to live. Hes really into modified cars but has never had the chance to go in one or go to any shows.

What im asking is, would any of you guys be intrested in spending a morning cheering the lad up? My friend wants me to go and take him out in my car and i thought it would be a bit more special if i could turn up with a load of cars and really make his day.

He lives in chester, just a trip up the m6 from birmingham for me.

Hope you guys can help me, think its the least we can do to try and make the time he has left, as good as possible.

Will be going up next saturday morning.

Thanks for reading. Karl

If my car also wasnt in bits i would have came over for the weekend for this! I have a contact in the boats now who can get me cheaper fairs.

Really saddens me to hear about that young fella. My auntie died of cancer and before she died we got a signed photo from normal wisdom sent directly from him to her! She was really touched and it made her feel at peace!

I think this is a real great thing your organiseing for him karl. Hope he has a day he will remember!

Aiight

As I do not have a car at the mo (well apart from the punto which my dadf uses) so i cant really take him out, but i can organise some lads to come down (200 cars hopefully) but i can not promise anything as these lads can be very busy !!! I need road directions and the place we are meeting and the day, email me on GirlracerUk37@aol.com with these questions

cheers xx

Thanks guys, cant believe how many people are willing to help! it really does mean alot to me and i ow you all big time!

Due to the amount of people intrested i have asked his mom to find a decent car park for us, so when i have the details i will post on here or mig if thats ok. Plus if anyone has put a link on another web site could you let intrested people no the details. To many people have mailed me to keep track of who i have told and who havnt!

Speak to you all soon and many thanks, wish i could afford to buy you all a drink.

Hi guys, had to change the day to sunday because of the amount of cars involved (atleast 300 now i think) if we went down saturday we would not be able to find a carpark big enough!

We have set up a forum purely for this subject now so please find the link on www.migweb.co.uk, follow the link and please post if you are coming, just so i no who to expect.

Will post all the details of the venue and time on there if thats ok.

Many thanks. karl

Sorry for the delay, but we now have a confirmed date and venue. Thank you to the guys that have been doing there research into chester, this would not be going ahead without you. Details below:


Location and date confirmation


The date is Sunday 31 August
The time is 12 noon
The location is Broughton Retail Park (CH4 0DP) off the A55 near Broughton

The family have asked me to pass on their gratitude to everyone who is going to attend
but stress that this is a 'static' meet and don't want it ruined by a small minority and
to remember why we are doing this.

Meaning this is not meant to be a cruise, by all means enjoy the day but please i stress no burnouts or racing in the area. I dont want to give the police a single reason to brake the day up.

Look forward to seeing you all there, and again i would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has been intouch and planning to come. Words cannot explain how gratefull we are for your support.

For any info you need now either pm me, or use the forum we have set up,http://www.cljf.com/xxgcab/forum . Directions will be posted on there.

Many thanks. Karl

i'll add to that about racing etc, the police are nasty round there, and with it being mid day there are lots of shoppers there, who are likley to call the police!, i'd love to turn up but cars still in the garage :(
