New Relationship with Ramshackle Rally

Posted by admin On November - 20 - 2009

Pillow Adventure Travel Company is today (20 Nov 2009) pleased to announce a new relationship with Ramshackle Rally, the UK’s leading banger Rally Company.

About Ramshackle Rally …

Ramshackle rallies are a great alternative to the package holiday hum drum twaddle that your neighbour drones on about over the fence after his annual 7 day stint along the Costa Del Crap. You won’t find any sweaty sun loungers here my friends… No Sir-ee! This is true Columbus spirited adventure, and it’s you versus machine as you pilot your 150 quid’s worth of scrap metal along some fantastic driving roads, through quaint villages and towns and through breathtaking landscapes in search of Ramshackle glory. If you’ve got a sense of adventure, a sense of humour and almost no sense of direction, then you’re a born Ramshackler!

The fun starts when you get your hands on an old banger for under £150. That’s the maximum allowed but there’s nothing saying you can’t get it for less. You then turn your beast into the Starship Entreprise, the Batmobile, a mobile disco or even a skunk. Whatever floats your boat. If you’re going the whole hog then why not slap on some fancy dress to match your theme, find yourself up to 4 foolhardy Ramshacklers and you’ve just about popped your Ramshackle cherry. Once you are kitted out, its time to drive to the other side of Europe in a mass “Ramshackle” rally!


Rick Morgan, director of Pillow Adventure Travel today said

“We are always looking for totally unique travel adventures for our clients, and we are delighted to announce this new relationship with Ramshackle Rally. We will provide accommodation for Ramshackle Rally clients at our Pamplona and Oktoberfest campsites and the end of their rally, so clients can enjoy the Ramshackle Rally experience and then enjoy major European festivals while staying with Pillow. We think this partnership will give our clients a wider variety of “unique and quirky” tour options, and we are very much looking forward to working with Ramshackle Rally and growing the relationship”.
