PictureStew found Lulu and gave her a home
This 1973 Volkswagen Combi is the proud maternal protector of imake a difference's 2013 D-Tours Put Foot Rally team! And she comes with more Put Foot Rally miles (or km's) than anyone on our team.

For Lulu's 2nd turn (in a row - more on this "just now") on the unforgiving and sometimes treacherous roads of Southern Africa, we decided to throw out the free-spirited hippy vibe in place of one that would not only encapsulate the vision of her drivers but also of ever-present yearning on our continent's heart - the protection of our rhinos!



In 2012, Lulu hosted "Team Liz" #27. We hope to do the previous team proud by continuing the rally with the same style and finesse as Lulu's previous owners did.

She even made it on the Put Foot Rally website on the 2013 "Crews" page.

You know they say life begins at 40... With a rack like that she's sure to be a knock out with the lads ;)

I like that the energy for your cause is focused on the positive i.e. "saving" our rhinos and not on the negative i.e. "stop poaching".

    HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE! At imake we have started the “imake a difference” charitable fund to help the plight of the magnificent, and increasingly rare, rhinoceros. Rhinos throughout the world are being poached by international crime syndicates for their horns. They recovered from near extinction in the 1980s, but are now being killed in unprecedented numbers and once again face extinction if this slaughter isn’t halted. The demand is coming from the burgeoning affluence in Asia, where the horn is prized for its supposed medicinal value and its exclusive gift status. We need to act decisively, and swiftly, to help save the rhino from extinction – and we need your help.
