dreams
So what chance of getting company sponsor a road trip? would they go for signs on the rig and cards to hand out? Been planning a around oz trip for some time now and it all cames down to money. With the stockmarket falling I hate to pulll it out for the trip. Be nice to get a rig there and drive it around then sell it back. Or ship mine from here to there and back again
a new ural runs about $15,ooo canadain now shipping around $ 7,ooo so it be nice to get a deal on one there and vist the dealers on the way around.
So may get a new one next year and offer tours on it here for the summer here then ship it later in the year. Hope to offer a picnic for two and pick them up about three hours later. Locol wine and foods.

!
Let's be clear...you want a company to give you $22000 to drive around giving out cards.
Keep us informed of how you get on.

Check....
We've discussed sponsorship before but there's no reasons not to discuss it again, but I'll just be lazy and post this link to what I wrote last time.
Clickie.
Like I said then, think about what they get in return, with the current economic climate it's going to be of even greater concern.
