I've been chatting with Mike(A2sumo) over the last couple of days and have come up with an idea (inspired by our friends over at A2-Fruende).
Starting at ADI this year I'm hoping that we can pass an A2 bonnet across Britain by passing it from member to member across the country. This will all be dome with the aim of raising money for charity.
I have a spare bonnet here that we can use.
The format will work as follows:
1. Member A will sign their forum name, location and date on the bonnet (using car paint)
2. They will take a photo of their A2 with the bonnet fitted and post it to this thread.
3. They will send a donation of their choosing to a 'justgiving' page via PayPal etc.
4. They will post on the thread looking for the next member who is willing to meet up with them to hand over the bonnet and start process 1-3 again.
I'm hoping that each person will know who the next person is in advance of receiving the bonnet and this will be arranged via this thread. I will try to help arrange handovers if needed but I'm sure we can all work it out between us.
Photos can be taken individually or can be taken at the handover, it's completely up to you.
The bonnet will deliberately not have a lock on the service flap to avoid it getting locked on anyone's car. The bonnet will fit into the back of an A2 that has the rear seats folded up so there won't be any issue with hand over between members.
There are no rules as such but please can the following be kept in mind
1. Don't lose the bonnet
2. Don't drop the bonnet
3. Don't keep the bonnet for longer than a fortnight before handing it to another member.
I'm really hoping that this will be a bit of fun; will allow for members to meet up with others in their local area and most importantly raise funds for a good cause.
I DO NEED THE HELP OF THE CLUB TO GET IT STARTED BECAUSE I NEED A GRILLE FOR THIS TO WORK. As mentioned I have the bonnet here thatvwe can use but it is missing the service flap so if anyone has a spare one available that we could borrow that would be great. I will send it back to you once the fundraiser has finished.
I'm posting this now because although I'm planning to start this by doing the first handover at ADI in October, if anyone wants to start the ball rolling early and come and collect the bonnet from my house in Aberdare South Wales then I'm happy to get it underway earlier.
Over to you guys, what do you think and who's interested in taking part?
