With their cars still intact the team arrived home victorious after successfully completing the 2016 Motoscape Banger Rally Chalenge which seen them drive across the country whilst raising a fantastic £775.00 for their chosen charity, St Margaret’s Hospice.

Joining twenty-nine other rally cars the team made up of three of the college Motor Vehicle students and their two lecturers, covered twelve countries taking them through the beautiful sights of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia and Czech Republic before arriving at their final destination Prague.

Twenty-nine year old David Henry from Paisley said,

It really was a trip of a lifetime.

"For me it was all about the scenery and driving meant we got to see parts of countries that you wouldn’t normally get the chance to see.

“The Stelvio Pass in Italy was the most challenging part of the journey. The bends are so sharp that we could see cyclists falling off their bikes, but luckily we managed to get through it unscathed.”

Also commenting on their trip was twenty-six year old Allister Linsteae from Knightswood, “As a team we got on great, which was just as well given that we had to spend up to nine hours a day in a car with each other.

“There was a great sense of team spirit across all the teams and everyone helped each other when needed. 

“We were fortunate not to have any problems with our cars but others weren’t so lucky. Murray our lecturer came to the rescue of the MG team who needed a whole new set of breaks fitted at the side of the road.

“It really was an awesome trip and given the chance I’d jump at doing it again.”
