Buckle Up, Budget Ben is about to be living the dream as he laughs & swears his way through the Shitbox Rally!

Hey there, adventurous souls and car connoisseurs! Join Budget Ben on his journey, as he makes his way through the arse crack of nowhere to Adelaide as he takes part in the 2023 Shitbox Rally and raises much needed funds for the Cancer Council. If you haven’t heard of the Shitbox Rally, strap yourself in, we’re about to tell you all about it.

Picture this: a lineup of cars that look like they've just emerged from a scrapyard Olympics. They've been through mud, rain, and probably a bit of existential questioning too. The Shitbox Rally isn't about impressing anyone with a blinding sheen. It's about flaunting your battle-scarred, duct-taped, and sticker-covered road warriors.

Ben and his mate Craig have lined up a piece of Aussie history as their weapon of choice, the vehicle for Pimps and Politicians🤣, a 1987 Ford LTD, gently used with a measly 410km on the clock, this baby is just run in!

As impressive as this beast might be, it isn't all about the car! Participants in the Shitbox Rally don't just show up with their cars; they also bring their A-game in the costume and Mascot department. It's like Halloween on wheels, stay tuned to meet Budget Ben's Mascot, and be part of our Shitbox Rally guessing competition. 

The Shitbox Rally is not a race, but rather a challenge to achieve the unthinkable. Traveling across Australia via some of its most formidable roads and remote communities. But who doesn’t love a good challenge, just like the battle against Cancer, this won’t be easy, but in true Inappropriate Gift Co style, there will be a lot of laughs, an absolute flood of fucks, and a few C-bombs no doubt!

This is a race that sees the odds stacked against you, and undoubtedly, crossing the finish line in a vehicle that has defied all odds might just be one of the most satisfying feelings ever. 

So, there you have it, folks – the Shitbox Rally, where rust, laughter, and a penchant for adventure collide. We will keep everyone updated on the misadventures of Ben and Craig, as they take on the ShitBox rally this October.  Remember, life's too short to take everything seriously, especially your choice of wheels. 🚗💨#makelifefunagain

This year the rally aims to raise $2m for the Cancer Council, which is used to fund cancer research projects nationally. Since the rally launched in 2009 it has raised over $30 million and is the largest funder for the Cancer Council in Australia.
