TWO Launceston men are set to take part in the charity Banger Rally Challenge — dressed as characters Austin Powers and Foxxy. The challenge will see friends Matt White and Lee Harris, who work at Global Koffi Ltd, driving to Pula, Croatia. Matt took part in the challenge two years ago, which went to Barcelona, dressed as Wilma Flintstone in a white convertible Astra, but he said the experience had a 'dramatic finish'. He said: "On the way back we stopped for an evening in the centre of Paris. The next day we travelled half a mile and broke down." His team had to pay 800 Euros to be recovered to Calais for the ferry and then back to Launceston. This time Matt said they have European breakdown cover and the car they are going to use will be fully serviced the day before they set off.
