Dream car drives in aid of Muscular Dystrophy charity

Motoring dreams will come true at the Hillsborough Oyster Festival as on Sunday 6th September when the historic County Down town will be filled with motoring exotica for the third running of the Supercar Dream Rides.

Ferraris, Aston Martins, Porsches, and many more of the worlds most desirable motor cars will be on display and not only will you be able to see and be photographed with the car of your dreams, you will also be able to ride in a Supercar by donating a minimum of £5 to SAM, (Struggle Against Muscular Dystrophy), the Festival's nominated charity.

Hollybrook, the company which is based at the Union Bridge, 65 Bridge Street Lisburn, and deals in exotic sports cars and particularly Porsches, has agreed to support the Supercar Dream Rides event in 2009 and they will be displaying their wide range of Porsches at the event.

Almost £7,000 was raised for the Oyster Festivals charity at the last running of the Supercars and Tyndall Productions are repeating that successful format and adding in a few innovations for 2009.

In addition to the line up of over a dozen Ferraris, Aston Martins and Porsches, some very special

Supercars will be singled out and auctioned on site in aid of SAM, with the next run going to the highest bidder.

The `Back to the Future` De Lorean will be positioned under the clock tower in Hillsborough Square where you can have your picture taken with the mad professor.

A Pearly King & Queen have to be appropriate at an Oyster Festival, but these pair will be ushering you aboard a genuine Routemaster Double Decker London Bus for a fun trip through the village. This will be just one of the Family Fun Rides in unusual vehicles which will be available throughout the afternoon.

The public will be invited to pay a minimum of £5 for SAM. This buys them a photograph taken with a Supercar, and the owners will then take them on a pre-arranged route around Hillsborough.

Each Supercar owner donates their time and the use of their car, and the fuel, and it is hoped that in excess of £6,000 will be raised during the afternoon for Struggle Against Muscular Dystrophy.

Parents or Guardians of children (minimum age 8 years), who wish to have a run in a Supercar must sign an indemnity form. If the child is not taller than 4ft. 5in, they must provide and fit their own booster seat.

Tyndall Productions would like to thank the PSNI, Hollybrook Sports Cars, Carsport Magazine, and all the private owners who are supplying the cars for this charitable purpose.

Supercar owners should apply for entries from:-

Alan Tyndall 58 Edentrillick Rd. Hillsborough. Co. Down. BT26 6PG. Tel. 02892 689444
