well at first I thought it must be Dekay ( having withdrawal symptoms )because of the PINK flower on the roof.
however on further investigation the guy is from Milton Keynes .
Now there aren't many houses around here like the ones in his background and certainly not many garage blocks so I may be able to track it down and leave him a calling card .

this is what he has brought it for

CzechWrecks 2006

Hi

So, what is CzechWrecks. Well it's one of a number of events organised by StreetSafari that involve driving 1500 miles in 4 days in a car costing no more than £100 .

I'm entered in this event which travels from Calais to Prague between the 1st and 4th September.

We're raising funds for the Down's Syndrome Association and would really appreciate your support. Find out more on our blog and sponsor us here.

Many thanks

Steve

CzechWrecks

Welcome To CzechWrecks!
[ 2005-04-09 ]

Welcome to the next chapter in European Banger Rallying! This time we're heading for Prague.

Four more wild days piloting old bits of rubbish towards an Eastern Europe scrap yard!

Same rules as per normal - car must cost less than £100 and be M reg or older.

As we are going over passes, brakes and clutches are VERY important. A decent cooling system is a bonus.

CzechWrecks will be taking in Stelvio Pass. This isn't optional, this is mandatory (unless your car is in such bad shape you need to avoid it, of course).

The event will also be spending an evening in the beautiful town of Annecy. The two is divided by canals and is known as the French Venice.

CRX will then head into Switzerland crossing over the Simplonpass, and heading onto Bormio in Italy at the foot of Stelviopass ready for the climb to the top of the pass first thing the next morning.

The event will continue on past the submerged town of Reiser and then on into Austria for a stopover outside Salzberg.

The final day will see us crossing into the Czech Republic and heading to Prague over the back roads rather than the motorways, which is apparently the better way of seeing the real country. It has been said that it will be like stepping back into time. Who knows!

just a thought but if every member donated just £1.00 (or your countries equivilant ) to these guys ,

it would boost the money for their charity by nearly £600.00

It's not really a garage block, it's just my double attached to next-door's single. Seeing as next door is around the corner, it looks like I've got 3

don't exactly need a calling card now YOU'VE found US, do you Steve

I've just twigged why you mentioned garage blocks. You'd struggle to find the houses or garages in the pictures on Cardomain if you trawled Milton Keynes for months, 'cos they're in Orpington!

The car actually belongs to my mate, I'm just "looking after" it at the moment.

lol , that explains it Steve,

well I didn't like to say too much and upset anyone because I thought it looked like Netherfield , (S)Tinkers Bridge or Springfield .

which wont mean much to anyone who lives outside M.K. but means a lot to us that do.

Mick T wont even leave his car on Netherfield , he garages it on another estate and walks to it.

I've heard it said that you have to get on the bus while it's moving on Netherfield 'cos they steal the wheels if it stops!

I do sometimes leave the car here and get a lot more respect from neighbours for leaving it in the garage when I need a break from it.
I feel more secure as a pedestrian going perhaps to a bus stop ?? knowing at least I have control of where I can put my car These small things make a big difference to life here .

BTW good luck stemll on your trip I will join your list of sponsors

Cheers bit more charity at home Mickt
