So for the time being, ARMCOB is closed. Thank you to everyone who popped by, had a mooch around, left a comment, or shared a link to our pokey little corner of the internet.

If you have just stumbled across our site, then welcome! The Blog was the most up-to-date part of the site. It covered everything from selecting a car, getting it roadworthy and liveried up, to the endless travel arrangements, including selecting hotels after a skinful of ale, and daily reports from Europe as we covered the 2,200 miles in our tiny cars.

The Blog also included quite a lot of interesting filler, ranging from curated playlists for each team, works of art created from the places we were visiting along the journey, to videos of the Top Gear lads hooning around Lake Como and the Monaco race circuit.

The site also shows the Route we would be taking, with a neat little breakdown of each stage of the 12-day trip from Liverpool to Monaco and back. There is also a cracking animation showing the route. There is also a brief look at the vehicles we used for the trip, heroes the three of them. There is a page explaining what Bust Rallies are, the history behind the event and the different routes they cover.

Finally, there are two really important pages: the one that explains the charity we supported along the way and the JustGiving page we used to collect the donations. The donation page for our journey is now closed, but you can still donate to New Start via their direct link.

This little site has been a labour of love for me over the last two years. I've taught myself stuff I would never have thought I would need. I've bought a domain name, linked it to a basic site, and spent hours and hours trying to get it to look the way I imagined it. I've written hundreds of posts and created/manipulated hundreds more images to accompany them.

It has been SO frustrating at times, but ultimately worth every second I spent on it. Now it is time to hang up my, erm, editor and move on. It's been a blast. Until next time...
