We have a winner

Congratulations to SEATCupra.net members Scotty_B and Muzorewa who won the two auctions for the SEAT Cupra racecar bonnet and front bumper. We raised over £130 which will be split between the two UK Charities. Our next auction will be a Dyantwist Induction kit for a Leon or Ibiza Cupra 1.8T. Probably start that next week

We've heard from the organisers of the Staples2Naples rally about Saren and its bad news. Virtually all the town centre was flooded and all the hotels have damage on the first floor. The hotel were staying in wont have a restarant and will only have 50% of the rooms available. We will get a list shortly, but looks like we may have to find alternative accomodation or sleep in the car. Never mind at least its not our town. I'm sure that 300 competitiors will help keep Saren in profit in food and drink on the Friday evening!

Floods

As you maybe aware Flooding has affected much of Europe this week, so we are concerned to here that Saren (shown here) , our first hotel stop is currently flooded. We know the Grimselpasse is also closed due to flooding. Were just under four weeks away, but its a worry!

Meanwhile, our auction for the SEAT race car parts (www.seatcupra.net) is going well with the bonnet currently at £107.

We have a new Canadian partner in the form of Relocation 2 BC . This company specialises is relocation in British Columbia, Canada. As their customer base is outside of Canada, exposure on our car meets their needs perfectly. Many thanks for their support.

not long now

Snow fell on Stelvio today! Much earlier than expected. It was just a light dusting, but with the raly a month away, we could be having a bit more Rear wheel drive fun than we originally thought.

Next auction starts in a day or two, a (Damaged!) bumper and bonnet from a SEAT Leon Supercopa racecar. This will be followed by our auction for Dynatwist.
