The end of the road

Well its morning and just had breakfast. The team are still asleep and probably be nursing the results of a night out in Monaco soon.

Just like to say thanks to the team for a memorable enjoyable journey. Thanks to Miranda an Pauline for supplying an in car sweet shop for the journey. Thanks to Robin for endlessly placing his foot in his mouth with the girls. Thought that would be me. The sugar highs apparently saved our lives from tired drivers ;-)

2 days in costume... man it feels nice to be abandoning El Barto

Finally a massive thank you to all of you that have sponsored us for this worthwhile cause

Till next year :-)

Location:Boulevard Rainier III,Monaco,Monaco

Chase with Lamborghini and Porsche

Still on the move

238 miles to go and Pauline finally passed a rest stop ;-)

It's finally here

Hi Bart here. So excited about our trip I was up at 4 making loads of noise in the house. Can't wait to get this road trip going. Those French dudes don't know what's coming. Laters

Marge! What's happened?

Operator!! Give me the number for 911!
Marge is here, but she's looking a bit hairy

Marge Collected

We got our teddy :-)

Location:Canada Square,Poplar,United Kingdom

New car, new backseat

I'm going to the backseat of my car with the woman I love, and I won't be back for TEN MINUTES ...

Girl's sports

If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports, such as hot oil wrestling, foxy boxy and such and such.

I'm not so sure they should be responsible for driving a car.

Love,

Homer x

Mrs Krabappel has forced us to go green :-)

Hey guys we have just made sure this trip is green by buying carbon offsets, not sure what all that stuff means. Lisa says that's what we should do blah blah blah. Laters!

Ned Flanders' car is now mine... all mine!

MARGE!! Look at this great car I found at Ned's!

It was just sitting in his garage so I thought waste not, want not. So I told him "Ned, I'm taking your car, the boy stole mine"

And he said "Okily dokily Neighbourito"

Spider Pig, does whatever a spider pig does

Woohoo! We have a spider pig. He's coming all the way with us to Monaco, upside down on the ceiling of the car.

He is going to be chief doughnut supervisor

Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff!

Homer no function beer well without...

If something's hard to do it's not worth doing, but luckily I found some Duff beer today to take with me on the trip. All I need now are donuts. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmgggghhhhh donuts.....

Check out the Homer-mobile!

Hey hey LowGear fans! Krusty here. Yesterday (Sunday 21 August, that is) was an important day for the LowGear team. Yes, we picked up our Homer-mobile! A 1995 Mercedes C180 Elegance, in dashing silver. For anyone that knows the team members, they'll know that this is quite fitting as elegance is our mantra. Well, everyone apart from Michael Clark!

An absolute bargain at a competition guidance beating 440 Queen's sterling pounds. It drives like a sophisticated banger with the odd strange noise and some questionable methods for locking the doors, but that just adds to the excitement of wondering whether we'll make it to Monaco or not ;) A mechanic will be giving it the once over to give us the best chance of success.

Next it will be onto the paint shop where it will be transformed into the Homer-mobile, together with sponsor and Simpsons stickers.

Also a quick note to say thanks for all of the extremely generous people who have made donations. We've collected over £3,200!

TTFN!

We've raised over £3000. Smithers, release the hounds

Massive thanks to all that have sponsored us
