Nottingham Saab's very generous donation

The team are pleased to announce that Nottingham Saab have made a very healthy donation to our cause. Their money is a huge boost for the team at this early stage and is hopefully a sign of things to come as the cash floods in.

The outfit have provided much needed expertise and often good old fashioned elbow grease to keep Graemes c900T16s on the road over the last few years. Always there to badger on the phone with questions there will no doubt be some more about the Valhalla run car as the departure date looms closer.

Anyway - on behalf of the team: Thank you very much Wes and Karl.

Nottingham Saab was established in Summer 2004, by Weston Moore AMIMI, a Saab Master Technician and between him and able assistant Karl they have over 30 years of experience. They offer a variety of services from servicing to tuning and bespoke fabrication. Nottingham Saab are an official Nordic Tuning centre and can offer their full range of products.

Check out the Nottingham Saab website for more details or call them on 0115 9309393 for more information.

The Valhalla Run

In Norse mythology, those who fell gloriously in battle passed on to a magnificent place called Valhalla. In bangerese we call that a scrapyard. If Valhalla has a car park, we're sure to be adding to it before this route is run.
Valhalla Run is StreetSafari's 5th European Banger Rally.
We've gone in every other direction: East through Europe; South to Africa; West to America.

Nowhere to go now but North...



The event starts in Copenhagen on the 18th of August.

We cross into Sweden, and then on to Norway to do the impressive Trollstigen (Troll Ladder), before a night in Kristiansund.
For anyone dipping their toes in the various seas and oceans around the world, this is your chance to see the Arctic Ocean.

From Kristiansund we travel all the way to Umea on the Baltic Sea, cross by ferry to Korsholm and then head towards Helsinki for the final night, 22nd August.
The distance is around 1,700 miles, through terrain unlike most people have ever seen before.

This is more different than any other StreetSafari event to date. You can also bet it's more desolate than the other European countries we visit. Norway has less than 5m people in a country nearly 50% bigger than the UK!
