In 2013 a VW Kombi was entered into the Shitbox Rally, which is a charity rally for the Cancer Council.

In 2014 we are looking for an air cooled VW to enter into the rally.

From the website: "The only stipulation that we have for the car that you choose is that you spend no more than AUS$1,000 on buying it and this must include registration and roadworthiness (pro rata for the week of the rally)."

I will do my best to pursue any leads. If you have a spare vehicle lying around, we'd love to hear about it. Last year we performed a paddock restoration on a pretty far gone Westy, so thats the condition we are expecting, although better condition is good too 馃檪

I was thinking of you guys the other day when I saw Fiat/Niki for sale under $1k. Rear engined 2 cylinder weirdness would be pretty epic for 2014 馃榾
