How strange.......We won a Trophy :-} Horaaahhhh !

Yippee!.We managed by some miracle today to be lucky enough to win a trophy, and no, it was not for the "Best Red Scirocco towing a half Scirocco" category !.
The category that we won was actually the "Well Loved,Well used" section, and I guess that it was quite a fitting category for a car that has spent the last 2 and a half years of it's life helping to raise money for charity, and in between, getting me to work!.


Great result, and just a quick thanks to Pitstop again who delivered a battery to me during the show after the original expired whilst supplying my 600w inverter (running the Laptop,monitor to show Glens brilliant DVD which covers our Little adventure in a quite amazing way.
Thanks also to our mate Nooky Nauyokas who put in an appearance at the show (in civvies) with his wife Liz, to help us raise some dosh for the help to hero's charity. You can just see him stood behind his better half in the photo, but sadly he was "guzzumped" by mini me who got into the foreground as i took the shot...bless him!.Good job that Nooky had gone by the end of the show as i am pretty sure that he would have been rather pleased about being refered to by the announcer as " Cpl Nico's of the channel 4 programme lads army"....oooppps !



One last thanks must also go to Matt of Xtreme Valeting in Sleaford who kindly offered to cast some of his magic on Scarlett's rather dirty looking tyres (well she does work for a living you know!).The result was that he made her footwear (or is that tyre wear?) look fantastic, and made her make over complete...thanks Matt :-).

Bad Lads Army star to trek across Sahara for charity

Our local Celebrity and long term Scirocco 2 Morocco supporter Nooky Nauyokas has managed to get himself well and truly roped in helping yet another charity, but this time he will be accompanied by his wife Liz and they have both got some serious walking to do in a rather warm place.

They are raising money for the "Help For Hero's" Charity (a very worthy cause!), and you can sponsor them by emailing to this address: lizannuk@btinternet.com

Come on folks, Nooky is a great fella and has helped us out lots in the past, so if you can spare a bob or two (or perhaps donate a few gallons of suncream!) ,drop them a line.

Good Luck Nooky and Liz !

Nooky Video now on YouTube.....Oeerrr ! :-)

Just spent the morning putting together a short video which is to promote the 2 Donor Clinics being held at Newark and Mansfield in a few weeks.
Hopefully if I manage to get the word out to enough people, and they in turn answer the call from Nooky, maybe we can make the 2 sessions a fantastic success and help swell the numbers of those already on the register.

This is the video which is now online:

Stand by yer beds!...Nooky is helping us out again !

After a long and pleasant chat today with the man himself i am pleased to be able to confirm that CPL "Nooky" Nauyokas famed for his role as one of the very loud and very motivating NCO's in the hit TV show "Bad Lads Army" (Currently being re-run on ITV4 on Saturdays 9-10PM), has agreed to assist myself and the Anthony Nolan Trust in promoting the donor recruitment sessions that are scheduled to take place in June 09.

As luck would have it, Nooky lives in Lincolnshire, and (if you are a regular reader of this blog!) you will be aware that last year he very generously offered to assist myself and Glen at the RAF Waddington Airshow when we went there over the 2 days looking to promote and secure donations for our Scirocco " Morocco trip. Lets just say that Nooky has a way of motivating people, and the end result was that the weekend was a resounding success.

In case you don't know what Nooky does, here is an article describing what it is like to be on the receiving end of his wrath....although those that know him are aware that he is actually a very nice man who would fit in well working for the AA !
