<p><font face="helvetica" size="3">This Christmas James Whyte and Rupert Potts are swapping turkey and trimmings for trials and tribulations in the 2009 Africa Rally. They'll be joining 90 other teams and attempting to drive their trusty 1982 Citroen 2CV6 from London to Cameroon in just 34 days. Only 8,000 miles of desert and jungle, plus a whole army of Nigerian traffic policemen, stand in their way. They're doing this partly to avoid brussel sprouts but mainly to raise vital funds for The Rainforest Foundation UK and Ape Action Africa. Any donations are very gratefully received and are a much better Christmas present than a reindeer sweater.&nbsp; </font></p><p><font face="helvetica" size="3">The start is on 13th December 2009 and you can follow the preparations, panic and progress on this blog... </font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><code class="code_main"></code></p> <object align="middle" data="http://www.justgiving.com/widgets/jgwidget.swf" height="230" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150"><param name="movie" value="http://www.justgiving.com/widgets/jgwidget.swf"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="flashvars" value="EggId=2122337&amp;IsMS=0"></param></object> <object align="middle" data="http://www.justgiving.com/widgets/jgwidget.swf" height="230" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150"><param name="movie" value="http://www.justgiving.com/widgets/jgwidget.swf"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="flashvars" value="EggId=2122349&amp;IsMS=0"></param></object>
