Charity Car Run to Williams F1 Team Headquarters

We took the Jag on the 2014 "Bidgood Rally" which is a bi-annual classic car run for charity. This time around 30 vehicles met at Britwell Salome for coffee before leaving on a 25 mile drive through Oxfordshire to Grove, home to the Williams F1 Team. After a look around their museum and collection of cars up to the 2012 car Maldanado drove, we were back in the cars to return to Britwell Salome for a picnic lunch and ice cream from Daisy's vintage ice cream van. We managed to raise £3,300 for the Spinal Injuries Association and McMillan Cancer Care.

Wallingford Vehicle Rally & Parade

Two of our vehicles were at the Wallingford Rally and Parade yesterday. This charity fund raising event saw 250 classic vehicles gather at a sports ground just outside Wallingford before departing on a vehicle parade around the town. Local residents were out in force to wave to the parade as it passed. The parade reached Kinecroft Park where the cars formed a show for attendees. As well as the vast range of classic vehicles ranging from enormous American gas guzzlers to Vespa scooters they were entertained by various stalls, displays by the emergency services and car rides. Last year the event raised £7,000.

Charity Car Rally

We are not really into the "classic car scene" and don't normally attend car shows or rallies but this weekend was different. Local resident and classic car enthusiast, Chris Bidgood,  organised a rally of 40 classic cars at his home in Britwell Salome near Watlington. Once gathered the cars drove to the home of Dick Skipworth and his Ecurie Ecosse motor collection. The event raised £1620 for Cystic Fibrosis Charity and the attendees got to show off their cars and enjoy a picnic in the sun.
