Simon Small takes delivery of 'The Chill Mobile'





Volkswagen Van Centre Chelmsford's Sales Executive, Paul Higham, had the pleasure of handing over the keys to a fanastic 'personalised' Volkswagen California SE 180PS 4Motion model last week to our customer Simon Small.

The exterior graphics were inspired by the 'BERGHAUS' limited edition model. The vehicle looked superb and Simon was 'chuffed to bits' with his vehicle!!

Simon will be using the vehicle, christened 'The Chill Mobile' most weekends when he participates in a wide variety of endurance events, many of which are illustrated within the exterior graphics, through out the highlands and lowlands of the UK.

You can follow his exploits on his personal blog: http://doingsomethingcrazy.blogspot.com

We can recommend this blog for a great entertaining and an inspirational read!!

We would like to say many thanks to Simon for his business. It was a great project to be involved in.

The Marathon Des Sables is run across the Sahara desert in Morocca and requires participants to run nearly six marathons in six days carrying their own equipment and food. The race is considered to be the toughest foot race on Earth.

Charlie not only won his solo class in the Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race in 2010, but the whole race in 52 days - a new British solo record and the first time a solo rower has ever won the world's toughest rowing race.

So far, Charlie has raised over £45,000 for the Addenbrooke's Renal Unit in Memory of his friend Shaun McLeod Jones who was a kidney dialysis patient at the unit until he died in May 2003. Charlie's expeditions have also raised a further £15,000 for other charities.
