It's only Tuesday but already the week has delivered a number of pieces of exciting news. The sponsorship total is growing daily and as I write this we have achieved about 68% of the target. (Still plenty of opportunity to give though!)
I hope to give this another boost soon as I have been working with a number of friends and colleagues regarding corporate sponsorship and I will be announcing soon a number sponsors whos logos will feature on the car (and probably hold it together).
However today I received a very significant donation from Carcoon. For those of you who don't know what a Carcoon is it is a small inflateable bubble that keeps your classic car warm and dry. I have two of them for my other cars ( Ferrari and Alfa Romeo) and they have been exceptional at keeping the curse of Italian cars at bay (rust).
I e-mailed the guys at Carcoon on Sunday telling them about the quest and they came through brilliantly today with a very significant donation.
Today I also received what I hope will be the solution to my oil filter woes. I e-mailed morris minor spares and they suggested a conversion kit to a spin on oil filter. It has arrived and the weekend after next Steve and I will be taking a full day to try and get the old girl running again.
As this is becoming such a team effort I have updated the blog with links to friends or organisations who have helped me out so please check them out.
Finally yesterday I also received a belated birthday gift from my team at work- they had got me a Haynes restoration manual for the morris (which will be covered in oily smudges very soon as it will be invaluable) and a set of air horns to fit to the car. As yet I am unsure what tune they will play but I am sure it will allow me to loudly proclaim my arrival at journeys end. Thanks guys!
