Well for Thame resident David Monument and three of his friends, the idea of traveling to Venice in a stretched limousine is now reality. The four of them who all work for Activision in the town, are taking part in the Crumball rally, they set off on Thursday on their European adventure, aiming to raise money for the charity Transverse Myelitis Association, this charity supports the victims of a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord.
David quoted ‘Our aim is to get to Venice in four days, there are 84 teams in the rally so I gues our aim is to win, or come somewhere close, but to get there at all would be just great. Its basically for fun and to raise money along the way. I had this stretched limousine and we thought it would be good to deck it out with an Xbox and a plasma TV so that those who aren’t driving could play it, and that when we stopped we could open it up to other races and people could have a play’.
The team will also be stopping at Verzasca dam, in Switzerland, which is where one of them will emulate the opening scence of the 1995 James Bond film Goldeneye by bungee jumping from the 220m structure.
