In an exciting new link up with Project Mobility, we have acquired the following car:
An '84 MG Maestro 1600 Group A Historic race/rally car in Tarmac spec
It also came with all the gear to convert it for Forest events as well i.e. suspension, underbody guards etc.
More info soon...
++++++++++++++++Project Mobility (as seen on Top Gear)+++++++++++++
The Project, recently reformed (and expanded) under new management (military personnel from Bulford area) is an excellent initiative. It is open to both disabled and able-bodied people (military, ex-serving and civilian).
The project is setting up a workshop near Andover, HANTS for those being medically discharged from the forces to do mechanical apprenticeships (and earn money doing work for motorists, as a normal garage would). From the profits, they will fund their own motorsport program, thereby also developing motorsport engineering skills, teamwork, esprit de corps, self discipline, determination etc. (i.e. all the reasons that the Forces supports any service person doing their sport!). This is a hugely important and positive thing for those who have suffered injuries (e.g. Afghanistan veterans) and gives them a positive purpose after the big 'life change' that results when one comes out of the Forces -especially when not through choice (i.e. losing your 'military family', professional fulfilment, and even status/self esteem in some cases).
Do consider if you can get involved (or just assist in some way).
