Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special car?
What happens to the money we raise?
How much does it cost to enter?
No. You can bring any registered vehicle that you want. To keep costs down for our Buc-Car-Neers there are no vehicle requirements so you can bring your daily drive, bash car, hire car, classic car or camper van. You could even bring a motorcycle. We do love to see themed vehicles though so go your hardest decorating a bomb or a daily drive.

Yeah. Why would you even ask such a thing. We dress up as pirates on Talk Like a Pirate Day and potentially on the 'pirate haven' day off. We will also have other theme nights that may compliment the town we are in.
