TAG | John O’Groats

Safe and sound and ready for the off

The two Toyota Avensis still going strong
We have not had much chance to chat to the other crews face to face (we banter on Twitter mostly) so it was only while hanging around the car park in John O’Groats that I learned that one of these Avensis used to be a taxi. The crew discovered this when they found a stack of taxi receipts in the door cubby hole!

Our nicely liveried Carina E rival run buy dealers, Pentagon Toyota
Bangers4BEN was instigated by Car Dealer Magazine editor, James Baggott, via his Twitter account. Little surprise, therefore,, that most of the teams are also keen Twitterers. Our rival for title of Best Carina is run by dealers, Pentagon Toyota and it was great to put faces to folk I had previously only known as @pentagontoyota.

To the Honda team behind us - the car in front is a Toyota
Friendly rivalry is one thing, but the Honda guys not only spend all day in costumed (60s racing drivers) they went swimming at John O’Groats. We were happy to watch from dry land.

Even on a wet Tuesday in November this is a beautiful country
