Floppy Throttle - The Blogs Dollocks

Savage

£250 car, 3,000 miles around Europe, 1 charity, 300 Loonies

 

The true story compiled from blogs written by a competitor of the world famous Scumrun rally. Can a banger make 3,000 miles in 4 Days. What car to use, how to get it ready, and most of all, how to form a hatred of Royal Mail. Eating roadkill, upsetting police, causing gridlock in Bruges, arguments, urination, breakdowns and energy drinks. Those were the high points of the rally. Cheap car, cheap booze and fags, 120 cars, a film crew and an irritating Welsh co-pilot... What could go wrong?

The potential here is huge. You have an eye for observational comedy and a very visual writing style. As a work in progress it is well worth pursuing. Patrick Barrett (Cuthbert-how mean is my valley)

This writing is easy on the eyes - although it's not really the kind of thing I read, I can see there are plenty of people it would appeal to. I like the way it starts - that was the sentence that started it all' and the conversational tone. A few grammar/spelling issues as you mentioned in the intro (pot pourri, for example) - let me know if you want those pointing out. Good luck with this!
