You beat the train and I'll chuck £25 in yer bucket (I don;t mind if you do 80mph on a M-way that's still legal in my book) If your journey costs work out less than the cost of a train fare and you beat it I'll double that to £50 However If the train beats you - then sorry it might be a great charity that is also dear to my heart but you get nowt as I bloody hate public transport no each way arrangement from me sorry Congrats on the weekly feature

Really the "race" ought to be from Linwood to Ryton, since the Imps were originally assembled outside Glasgow and then transported - by train - to Coventry for finishing off due to the Government not allowing Hillman to extend the Coventry works. That'd be a great historical recreation of your car's first ever journey. Still, best of luck with it. I'd suggest choosing a day with light drizzle rather than actual rain, that'll make the traction worst for the train. Y'know, leaves on the line and that
