00:00We retired this year and we were looking around and we've always fancied doing road trips around
00:04Europe and a bit of driving and we saw the British bangers to Benidorm where 50 vehicles
00:11are going to get all dressed up, drive an old British car that's as unreliable as possible
00:15and try and get it through five countries all the way through to Benidorm, going through Italy,
00:20Switzerland, France and obviously Spain. So I looked around, found a cracking old Range Rover
00:28that had no surface history, nearly 300,000 miles on the clock, no MOT. And yeah, we finally got it
00:34through an MOT. We've decided on a bee theme. So we're going to dress the Range Rover up as a
00:40great big bumblebee. And yeah, and we're ready to go and dress it up as a giant bumblebee and get
00:45everyone who's done it, it's a sticker on the vehicle to come with us all the way to Benidorm if
00:49it makes
00:49it. Amazing. I think people at home might be wondering why you've chosen a bee theme for the
00:54Range Rover. Can you shed some light on that? Yeah, when you look at a Range Rover, it's quite
01:00chunky. It's a big lump. It doesn't go too quickly. And we just thought, well, that suits a giant bee.
01:06The shape of the vehicle lends itself to being dressed up as a bee. So yeah, we've got in contact
01:12with a local wrap company who've done really good price on the wrap. And I've got someone doing that
01:16for me in the middle of September. Amazing. And on that, tell us a bit about the fundraising side
01:21of it. How much money are you hoping to raise? We've hoped to raise as much as possible. We've
01:27tried to say we're going to raise £5,000. It's all towards Huxley, a 10-year-old boy who's got
01:31a rare
01:32form of leukaemia. They're going to need to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds. So our little
01:38contribution, hopefully, will put a little dent in it. And everything we raise is a positive.
01:44We've had donations from everything from £10 already up to £100. And this is only in the last couple of
01:50weeks. And we've had great response to our Facebook attack, if you like. We've generated
01:56a Facebook page and had over 25,000 hits on it already. We've raised over £700 as a start.
02:02So I'm confident we'll hit our target and then hopefully maybe double it. Who knows?
02:06And are you confident that the bee will make it all the way to Benidorm? I mean,
02:10you've done the work yourself. Tell me a bit about how you feel about what's underneath the bonnet.
02:15I'm not sure it's going to make it to Dover, let alone Benidorm yet. But that's half the fun of
02:19it.
02:19We've got five days. Will it make it? I think it will. It probably shouldn't. But, you know,
02:26let's hope it does. It's going to be a journey.
