Now most of you know how much I love my cars hence the volvaxo was built, but nothing at all has my love more than my children and there health!
in January my middle son aged 9 was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, this really burst our bubble and now its time to rebuild it.
so here goes... this is my plan!

I'm Seriously considering building a car for charity! in aid of diabetes research

Based on the pic below! but with advertisement for the charity and sponsoring company's!

My idea is to build one with the intention of driving it across Europe in the modball rally taking donations along the way and then to auction it at the end of the trip with ALL proceeds' going to the charity.
Get a few company's involved to aid the process and get them advertisement across Europe on the car. get TV /mag's /papers involved.

That's my plan!

And ARD tuning are on board already! thanks to lucky :)

Looking happy but it all came down on him later on in the day :(

Think I may google this modball, tbh I've only seen cars for sale on eBay post modball.
Always fancied the gum ball but the cost is unreal. Few mates did the scum ball years ago. Lol

Here are some photos of the real car in the Volvo museum in Gothenburg, in a way its a shame the actual 'R' ended up as a watered down version of this, but I'm not suprised...:
