Tony Dwight
"All these media reports about us drivers and what we've achieved, but without our Support crew, Mike ( the Welsh) Breakwell, The Legend that is TV Kev (Dave)and the HM Polite force( Mark(Jaffa)Jaffe & Marko) it would not have been possible.
But the one Team member who even after the trip has finish is still hard at it, is our Media liaison and Technical support Chief-
Thomas (The Chief) Grimer.
As without his hard work and dedication we would never have got as much media attention as we have as well with the constant updates on Twitter and Facebook throughout the week!
You Sir are a Legend just like you father!!
And we as a Team salute you TG!!"

Never forget what we achieved

Paul Tindall
"I got invited on this trip by Tony, I had only met tony and Daz a few times, and had never met the rest of the crew till the Friday night. As I was the only outsider of the group as everyone one new each other I thought this could be a long trip. But from that that night we started to bond and as the week went on and the mowers started to have problems and the guys going above and beyond to fix them it showed me that I was fitting in nicely. As we crossed the finish line last night as a team I will be leaving this adventure as once a outsider but now with new friends and a larger family thanks again guys. Tindall xx"
Tony Dwight
"Been an absolute pleasure to ride and spend the week with the best team on the planet!! You are all legends in my book, and that includes 'The Chief' (Thomas Grimer) as well!!!
Roll on the next Adventure!!! wink emoticon
