WANTED - Crew for Landy Rally Mechanical Support Vehicle

We have the vehicle – a fully off-road prepared Defender 130 Crew Cab.

We have the event – Landy Rally 4x4 Euro Charity Drive (14-22 Sept 2011), a 3,000 mile, non-speed on & off-road treasure hunt/social gathering encompassing 11 countries in 9 days.

Now we desperately need a crew!

Mechanical experience useful but remarkably not essential as the owner Cheyne Walker is an ace ‘bush mechanic’ anyway. However, a full driving licence is required as you’ll be part-driving “The Beast”, his remarkable LR 130. Allow 14 days for the complete event, taking in Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg,France, Austria,Germany,Liechtenstein,Switzerland,Italy (includingStelvioPass in the Alps), off-roading in Val d’Isère (at the largest off-road site in Europe), visiting duty-free Andorra, some amazing greenlane tracks in the beautiful Spanish Pyrénées, plus meeting up with a French off-road club in the Dordogne to drive their very own quarry!

Cost: £600 per person. This covers your contribution towards ferries, fuel, additional vehicle insurance, camping, prize-giving dinner, basically everything except your everyday food and liquid refreshment (hic!)

NOTE: This is the last ever Landy Rally open to the general public (plans are afoot to run a ‘Celebrity Edition’ next year, but this is still to be confirmed), so this is your last opportunity to become involved in an event that has raised over £100,000 for good causes since its inception in 2007 – a fact we are extremely proud about!!!

FINAL FINAL NOTE: We also know of a Defender 90 owner who wants to enter Landy Rally 2011 as a competitive team, only he needs a co-driver. Interested? Likewise, contact us and we can pass on his telephone number.

Once again, thanks to the mods of the forum for allowing this post.

You'll have more takers if you pay the crew £600 as opposed to charging them £600

and if you want me to share a tent with someone called "Cheyne Walker" then the cost will be £6000....

If Cheyne Walker has a beard, then I aint doing it for a penny less than £6 000 000.00

£600 quid,**** right off

Id love to go and ive skied at Val D'isere and its beautiful. I have all the qualifications you need but i can afford 600 pounds unfortunately. Good luck with you search though.

Stick your spam up your bum. If you need a crew it should be free or covered in your initial plan when you worked out costs v charitable donations.

I'll pay you the £600 but in return I want that 130, it's V5, both sets of keys and a full tank of diesel

and all the tools in the back. And a blowie off some fit bird...

Well, at least a sensible post from scrappyloz! Cheers mate.

And what's spam about this appeal storm99? There wasn't going to be a Mechanical Support Vehicle this year until Cheyne said he'd help out. Makes me wanna spit. Folk try to assist and all that the ****-takers out there want to do is 'have a go'.

Look, to enter a team it would cost £860 (that's for the driver & co-driver BTW), then fuel, ferries, etc. Cheyne on the other hand has volunteered his time, his mechanical knowledge and importantly his vehicle to help the teams.

Basically, for £600 anyone who joins him are going to have an experience of a lifetime ... not to mention making friends for life!

As for "a blowie off some fit bird", you never know your luck!!!

Pure CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE coated spam

Its one thing to 'donate' your time and knowledge, its quite another to 'donate' £600 for the privilige of sitting alongside someone who hasn't paid!!

As I said before, you should have factored in these costs when you came up with the idea of doing this, all legitimate deductions that nobody would question....instead of some ballpark figure you've pulled out of your arse.

As I said, it never was the intention to supply a Mechanical Support Vehicle until Cheyne said he'd help out, so how could I possibly cost that into the budget?

Fair enough if that's what you want to think, and I don't blame you for being sceptical, but the figure's based on doing four previous Landy Rally drives, so we know exactly how much it costs. Besides, after the fuel, ferries and camping is covered, any Euros left in 'the pot' - no, not the sort of pot that goes under the bed - will be going on the bar bill for the mechanics back in Calais. None is kept by Cheyne, me or anybody else. Seems logical to me!
