Sniff Petrol receives many e-mails from people wanting a plug for their entry into one of those cross-Europe-in-a-knackered-old-car rallies and normally we say no because there appear to be far too many of these things going on and frankly who cares. However, when a bloke called Richard Sargeant took the trouble to repeatedly pester Sniff Petrol about his forthcoming participation in something called the Scumball we decided to make an exception because a) he made a nice Sniff sticker and put it on his shagged out BMW and b) he’s doing it to raise money for the Friends of Chernobyl Children which seems like one of these very worthy causes that doesn’t get enough publicity. Plus, Richard actually takes in kids from the Chernobyl area who have been affected by the aftermath of the nuclear disaster which makes him a thoroughly decent human being and not just some git who’s pointlessly planning to drive to Murmansk in a £50 Sao Penza painted to look like the Starsky & Hutch car.You should therefore go to teamchernobylracing.com and give him some money. 100 percent of the cash goes to the charity apparently which means if you don’t make a donation your heart is black and tomorrow you will sit on a dog turd. So there.
