Hello All,

As you some of you will know, I like to travel - especially road trips. That's why when my girlfriend, Laura, and I discovered the Northern Lights Rally we knew we had to get involved.

What's the Northern Lights Rally?  First of all, its not technically a rally (there are no time trials and no winner). Its more of a challenge. A challenge to drive a cheap, run down banger from Glasgow to Tallinn, Estonia. When we get there the car will be auctioned (or scrapped, I'm still finding that out) to raise money for the Estonian charity, the Sunflower Foundation.

The challenge officially begins in Amsterdam on April 17th so we will be leaving Glasgow on the 16th.  We will be covering about 4000 miles in 10 days on a route that will take us through Denmark, Sweden, up the Norwegian west coast all the way to the "top" of mainland Europe, then south through Finland, ending with a ferry ride to Estonia.

In order to defer the cost of buying & fueling a car across Northern Europe we (the Tartan Eagles Rally Team) are looking for team sponsors.  In professional racing you usually see a couple of giant logos on the car from its main sponsors - we are going in a similar direction.  Everyone who sponsors our car with at least £5 ($8) will get their name printed on the car!  And the more you sponsor, the bigger your name gets.

If you're curious as to who is already part of the team, take a look at http://www.tartaneaglesgonorth.com/sponsors. You'll see Alienation Digital has already got its logo on the car, so if you want to join them, check out our website at http://www.tartaneaglesgonorth.com.

Feel free to forward this on to any racing or charity enthusiasts you know.

Thanks for your support!

John (Eagle) & Laura (Tartan)
