Always There Automotive is proud to announce that Sean and Glen are participating in the 2025 Autumn Shitbox Rally, driving a 1979 Honda Prelude 1.6L Petrol Manual. This event is not just about the thrill of the drive; it’s a mission to raise funds for the Cancer Council, supporting cancer research and patient services.
What is the Shitbox Rally?
The Shitbox Rally is an annual event that challenges teams to traverse Australia’s rugged terrains in cars worth less than $1,500. It’s not a race but a test of resilience, camaraderie, and a shared goal to make a difference. Over the past 15 years, the rally has raised over $50 million for the Cancer Council, making it one of the largest community-led fundraisers in the country.
The 2025 Autumn Route: Canberra to Townsville
This year’s Autumn rally kicks off in Canberra and concludes in Townsville, covering a distance of approximately 3,500 kilometers. The route is far from straightforward; participants will navigate through some of Australia’s most challenging and picturesque landscapes, including a detour via Birdsville. This path promises both breathtaking views and demanding driving conditions, truly embodying the spirit of adventure that the rally is known for.
Meet the team: Sean and Glen
Representing Always There Automotive, Sean and Glen bring their mechanical expertise and adventurous spirits to the rally. Their vehicle of choice, a 1979 Honda Prelude, which is, in Sean’s words, “a real beast…”, has been meticulously prepared to handle the rigors of the journey.
Why support the Cancer Council?
Cancer affects countless lives, and the need for ongoing research and support services is critical. By participating in the Shitbox Rally, Sean and Glen aim to contribute to the Cancer Council’s mission of preventing, curing, and supporting those impacted by cancer. Every dollar raised brings us closer to breakthroughs that can save lives and improve patient care.
