It’s all in the wrist
Ha, Ha, Hee, Hee – but it is true. When I first started, some ten years ago, working on car rallies (classic and modern classic cars driving from London to Jerusalem raising massive funds for charities) the need was met by the desire to show off spectacular Ferraris, Bentleys, Rollers, Astons, Porsches, etc, as well as classic cars such as Healeys, Jaguars, Lanchesters, Cords and of course a Rover P5!
Today we need something a little more realistic – and of course accessible to everyone.
It came to us in a fairly unspectacular meal in St Albans – I believe Elton John wrote ‘Candle in the Wind’ in the same toilet – and as the typically insipid American style starter came to an end we hit upon the idea.

Ok so it wasn’t the most pertinent train of thought for the start of a successful business campaign but it did get us started on a relatively non-drug fuelled train of thought (we both take statins so the heart rates never went too far above the norm as we generated a serious amount of excitement – and of course flatulence which is a by-product of the Xenical). Sure enough as eggs is eggs we trawled through various similar ideas and as the days dragged into months the formula came into view.
The most amazing part of this whole process was the fact that we were not inventing the wheel – quite handy given the nature of the idea because we would have had to invent the wheel in the morning and then the internal combustion engine by the mid-afternoon. It would have taken the best part of the next day before we had got to shock absorbers and possibly the weekend before we got to the cup-holders (and you cannot run a Banger Rally without cup-holders!). Banger rallies have been run for many, many years and run successfully. We have even been on a few ourselves but what we wanted to do was make it happen OUR way. And boy have we got some wacky ways.
