What happened with and how far did we get with that moving the thing around the country thing? Only I've had a few ideas on that one, can it be done though?

Posh Ted is still firmly -not- moving around the country AFAIK...

Posh Ted is ready to go but I haven't let him go 'cos I didn't know if he would get any lifts.
I will get him a log book for details of all the lifts he gets.If it's a go I set him off at the weekend

who or what is Posh Ted?
Can I suggest a (further) wait?
It may be nice to try to get him around the various shows and get one of the comics interested in his journey.
It would be even nicer if he were at Marque Day - as there are going to be some very nice 'other things' happening there and I'd personally like to see as much possible like this going on as Christopher Savidge (obit, passim) was partly responsible for getting the Heritage Run and Marque Day established. His widow, Bonny will be there and she collects Teddies - may be nice for her to play a small part in Posh's journey.
Just my initial thoughts :-)
I have'nt been subscribed to this list for ages. Last time I read anything in this group there was the idea of travelling from Lands End to John O Groats and getting all the main dealers along the way to donate the parts to build a new LR. It was then to be donated to charity.
Did it ever materialise and if so what happened?

This is a very good idea and I am sure that PT wont mind waiting again.
As for his log book I was thinking of details like

Posh Ted, or PT as his freands call him, is the Teddy that lives in my Srs1 and hopefully he will be visiting all the members of A.F.L soon by hitchhiking around the country.

My idea involved getting a money box, there has to be a Land Rover money box available, and organising it to start at one end of the country (I can cover eastern Cornwall by the way) and all the Land Rover dealers dip into their poskets whip-round style en-route. Tin is then passed on and so on and so forth through the length of the country or even around it. the resultant bulging tin is then donated to a chosen charity. Logging and photographs en-route would be a great idea too.
I also thought that banking the money as the tin filled up would be a good idea from a security point-of-view.
Any thoughts folks?

What about a forum or site to document the travels as well as piccys...we could all keep up to speed then :-)

Great idea. By the time it gets from Cornwall to peterborough there should be enough for my forst service :)
Seriously, I'm up for it.
Well volunteered that man!

I'd suggest raising a couple of quid for the Alzheimer's Society, MacMillan Cancer Relief and the Air Ambulance. Thoughts anyone?
Sounds good so far, how about a line of window stickers, purchased such that profits go towards the charity too... in fact if the same printer did some alt.fan.landrover ones we could also have profits from those too "for charidy mate!".

We're in Leicester and Posh Ted can come and meet Patch the Bear that Isaac brings home from school every few weeks to visit. We have to write what Patch and Isaac did when he visits, and last week they went to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the Jag showroom in Leicester. I'm sure Patch would love his photo taken with him.
Any ideas on the charity at all?
