Ekona Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 You get what you pay for and all that, I guess. Shame, but then I suppose that's why it's so cheap if they're not giving you half the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously man, this wasnt " a bit of a **** up", this was a full on con and even the staff have admitted it. Theres more here: https://www.facebook.com/LADbible/posts/756264551087404, even their Twitter feed is private which isnt the usual way of making the most of free marketing ........

Grundy Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 To be fair, at least this time they've worded it better to cover them selfs from last time (was reading a post on the GTR forum) I.e. instead of saying 4/5* hotels, they now just state hotels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hmmmm sounds great:- So, what is Pure Rally about exactly? In one short sentence Pure Rally encapsulates fast cars, lots of partying and the ability to travel, and combines these three elements into an experience you won’t ever forget. For some, participating in an international car rally might once have only been a distant dream- but with affordable prices offering high standards, Pure Rally is here to make that dream a possibility. Picking only the best destinations and hotels, most gorgeous girls as well as celebrity guests and a whole host of top DJ’s, this is one rally that gives you sun, sexy girls, swish hotels and clubs to help give you a seriously good time that’s worth every penny. And if this isn’t enough! Not only can we guarantee that we won’t be asking for more than you need to spend, but we’ll be throwing in a load of free gear for participants too. Like the thought of partying for days in several different countries, not only with the gorgeous Pure Rally babes, but with some of our celebrity guests too? "Fast Cars, lots of partying and the ability to travel" Who wrote this tosh!!!!!? This guy is a genius, he "can pick only the most gorgeous girls and give you sun and sexy girls together with swish hotels and clubs" And of course he'll be fully ABTA registered so your money is completely protected. If it sounds too good to be true................................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 And there's this:- http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/NewsEvents/News/2011/August2011/Bournemouthweddingphotographybusinessceasestrading.aspx Mr Bouzad is also the only Director of Pure Rally. I'm not trying to pee on your party boys, just giving you info that's "out there" make of it what you will, personally I wouldn't be going anywhere near it.

docwra Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Docwra did you actually go on it? Nope, sponsored a car for the first couple of legs and didnt get anything we paid for - no vinyls on the car, no banners, no promo girls and more importantly no reply when we chased it up. Fortunately it wasnt a lot of money but it caused me to look a bit further and find these stories which dont exactly inspire confidence - its more the lack of communication/deleting people on FB/not actually bothering to answer any accusations that worries me. Anyone can **** something up but if you dont try to resolve it then it looks very suss IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'd be walking now and considering myself lucky. I wouldn't want to be associated with something like that. Seriously mate, put a run together on here over a long weekend on the same route for the same budget, and I bet you'd have a better time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'd be up for it. I'd start in South Wales, one stop in North Wales, then one in the Highlands, then another in Northern England to finish (maybe a wild night out in Newcastle?). You could do it on a budget easy, call it £60 a night for a hotel then the rest on fuel and beer. Job's a carrot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 wales isnt a 'rally' tho is it? No but is this Pure thing really a rally? The point I was really making, as I think Dan was too, try to organise something amongst freinds or at the least people you know. Wales is a great social weekend with some not bad drives but that isn't all me and others get up to Organising something privately with smaller numbers is sometimes a better idea but I guess it depends on what your ultimate aim is and only you know that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
