MG enthusiasts 'sniff petrol' for charity! |
| 06 Jan 2006 |
Leading MG and Rover enthusiasts' website MG-Rover.org has teamed up with satirical motoring website Sniff Petrol to launch a very special calendar, which is sure to prove a hit with car enthusiasts everywhere!
The calendar features MG Rover themed 'advertisements' from Sniff Petrol, and is sure to take pride of place in the home of any 'petrolhead'. Beautifully printed on high quality A4 paper, the calendar takes a sideways and satirical look at the history of the MG Rover - from the launch of the MG Saloon range in 2001, right through to the company's untimely demise in April 2005.
Highlights include the venerable Rover 25 pictured under the headline 'Let's Get Leathered' and a startled cat pictured ahead of an MG TF, with the caption 'It runs over kittens and enjoys it!'
The calendar was produced by MG-Rover.org with the kind permission of Sniff Petrol. All profits, will be used to assist MG-Rover.org's very own 'Dee' Walker, in her battle against breast cancer.
Dee explains: In July 2005, I was diagnosed with aggressive cancer, which at 29 years of age came as a shock. I had surgery in Summer 2005, then a course of chemotherapy, followed more recently by a course of radiotherapy.
My prognosis isn't too good at the moment. There is a high chance of recurrence. However, I found out that the cancer is HER2 receptive. Therefore treatment with Herceptin could provide me with an increased chance of survival and possibly, give me an 80% chance of being disease free in ten years time.
Before my diagnosis, I worked in a body and mind shop and enjoyed driving my MG F... both of which I can't wait to get back to! I'd like to thank everyone who buys a calendar, together with everyone at MG-Rover.org and sniffpetrol.com for their support at a difficult time in my life.
MG-Rover.org's Webmaster, Steve Childs, says: As well as being the largest MG and Rover enthusiasts' website in the world, MG-Rover.org is an online community in the truest sense of the word.
Since Dee's diagnosis, MG-Rover.org members have rallied around in support. The calendar is simply the latest in a long line of initiatives undertaken by members. Together with our friends at Sniff Petrol, we are delighted to be playing our part in supporting a very special young woman at a challenging time. Everyone is 100% behind Dee in her battle against breast cancer.
Calendars can be ordered online at mg-rover.org/dee and cost £12.99 inclusive of VAT and Postage and Packaging. Payment is accepted online by American Express, Mastercard, Maestro / Switch and Visa.
But hurry, with dozens of orders already received and only a limited number of calendars remaining... you'll need to be quick! |
