MARIE CURIE LADIES DRIVING CHALLENGE 2007 at KIRKISTOWN

On 20th October 2007 Liam attended the Ladies Driving Challenge in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care Fund for the second year running (you think he would have known better after last year!),

The ladies had to raise sponsorship to drive various challenging vehicles around Kirkistown Race Track, these vehicles include oil tankers, stretch limos, army vehicles, ambulances, police land rovers & Fire Engines, this is where we came in as we will be donated a Series 3 Forward Control Fire Engine for the day

up at the crack of dawn to catch the early ferry, all on my own

 

 

 

 

arrive at kirkistown and spot another land rover

 

 

the rac where on hand to scrutineer me
(i didn't tell them i was with the AA)

 

hope they're not all waiting for me

 

this year we had 2 fire engines

 

mine spent more time on the grass than the tarmac though

 

 

 

 

for some reason most of the ladies wanted to go in the real fire engine
must have been the power steering and automatic gearbox

 

which suited me fine as i could take more photos of the fire engine
but these ladies kept getting in the way!

This year was the 10th anniversary of the event

 

thanks to all the ladies who drove the rusty old fire engine, i have to say that i was quite impressed with the driving standards, but some of you remember that left here means turn left and stop means STOP :-)
looking forward to next year

 

a final word of thanks to our team sponsors
