Joachim Größer - Lomax
| In the section News #1 we reported that we
were happy to have received a deposit from Joachim who will be driving
his Lomax 223. We published a picture of a Lomax as an example of the
vehicle he will be driving on the Raid. One month later we received a very nice e-mail explaining that the picture we had on the web was that of a 4 wheel Lomax - his Lomax however is a 3 wheel Lomax. His car is pictured below. |

record breaking run of 2443 kilometres in 24 hours and by doing so
raised a substantial sum of money for a childrens cancer research
charity. Joachim will be driving this vehicle for Raid 2000. Auf Rekordfahrt für guten Zweck. Joachim Größer sammelt für Kinder. Seligenstadt (rra) - Exakt 2443 Kilometer legte Joachim Größers

Advantages of using a Lomax 223 on the Raid !!!
| 1. Less petrol used - as the car always
running downhill
|
| 2. Can be brought to Australia as hand luggage |
3. The Raid deposit is $100 or $25/wheel. Should the deposit be only $75? |
