Two local lads are about to head out on an intrepid race across Western Europe, all in aid of a good cause.
Martin Burns (left) and Andrew Beasley (right) will be on the start line for the "Scally Rally" today (Wednesday), in a car which cost them less than £100, a stipulation for entry to the event.
The daring duo, who both competed last year as well, have chosen to raise money for Manx Cancer Care and hope to double the £1000 they collected in 2006.
Martin and Andrew say the race is tough and it's not just a case of reaching their final destination either:
