Let's sponsor the Morgan!!!
« on: January 29, 2004, 01:46:58 pm »
All we need is a grand between us and as well as supporting the little beauty we even get a chance to win a corking "Team CA Forum" track day car!!

www.maisonblanche.co.uk/n040126.html or www.morganworks.com

Just 25 notes each if we can get 40 of us!! And I'm sure the Grand Fromage wouldn't mind chipping in, would you Dave???  ;)

So will this get us exclusive access to the Morgan pits and hospitality facilities?

Good idea,
 not sure I want to share the tee shirt or sit on the lap of 39 other geezers though, maybe the freebiees could be raffled?

Somehow I have to question how they're going to let 1000 people have exclusive access to the pits etc.  I think this is toss.  At least the Racers Group were offering accomodation etc. last year.

Next they'll be posting on ebay too!

Suspect not - the Morgan website says that you will get race entrance and a reserved grandstand seat (so nothing different from what we normally do there) - the site quotes "The first 300 applications received will be allocated grandstand seats immediately opposite the Morgan pit. Others will be seated in nearby grandstands".   As to access to the team/pits, it seems to be limited to - "Exclusive invitation to the team’s UK media launch and a Pre-race exclusive VIP private function to meet your fellow Official Partners from around the world, the drivers and the team, with special celebrity guests".   The competition for the car only gets to be a reality if they get 1000 members.

first i start the year helping to sponsor the Kart world Mg entry for BTCC, then we add in a URL on the MG Factory outfit.

Now there is a chance to sponsor the Morgan. ..........

I would put in £25, But not till next pay day.

Wor Lass will go mad (again), but count me in. We can have a draw for the prizes/give-aways. £25 is worth it just for that sense of pride/ feel good factor every time it goes round  the track(even though I though it was an ugly beast). Wasted a lot more on a night out. Come on lads (and lasses) dig deep.

It's got to be worth £25.

As Nordic suggested, we could raffle the freebies between us and if we win the car then we can either share it or sell it. Should get £40K for it so we'd end up with a grand each!!  :)

Count me in, come on boys only 34 to go so dig deep. As Stu says it will add a little more interest to the week end at Lemons.

Just had a thought wonder if they would put a ca sticker on it " Real men do it for 24 hours " If the TWATS can sticker a car why not us.
