A Special Day For a Very Special little Boy

And what a day it was!

 

This year’s Northwich Krazy Races will be a day forever etched in the memory of all team members and staff here at Lightcliffe. 

 

Business owner Ian, a man who is no stranger to building creations with wheels and engines engaged a couple of trusted friends and staff members and decided to build a cart for this year’s event.  The decision was taken to support the Patryk Milner Memorial fund in memory of little Patryk who passed away suddenly aged 7 while at school and Ian, who got to know Patryk’s parents Andy and Aggie through the junior rugby club at Sandbach thought it would be a fitting tribute to dedicate the whole day to his memory and raise money for a VIP enclosure through sponsorship.

 

The day was already a success before the race even started with local businesses, suppliers and Lightcliffe customers giving generously to the cause. But no one could’ve predicted what actually happened on the day. 

 

Firstly, there was the driver Eric, schoolboy friend of Ian and transport manager at the Lightcliffe group. Being an ex-speedway racer and posessing the physique of an extremely fit jockey made him the perfect candidate for the driver. Then there was chief engineer James, Ian’s brother-in-law and a local farmer who had the ability to build just about anything with moving parts.  Completing the team was local businessman Dave and owner of Riverside Animal Feeds and a few other friends and sponsors. 

 

The scene was sat with sales executives from Lightcliffe hosting and looking after the VIP guests and Silk FM joining the party.  

 

After the first race Patryk’s rugby ball was somewhere low down on the leader board and optimism for a place on the podium was fading fast. Enter stage left chief engineer James with some adjustments to the steering and tracking and the cart began to fly with the third and final race being completed in a time which qualified the team for the final. 

 

The excitement was palpable with just eight teams left when Eric set off for his final run. Eric completed the whole race without using his brakes managing to negotiate every corner and chicane along the way. A spectacular crash at the end of the race meant that he also stopped short of hitting the finish barrier, which would have meant instant disqualification and instead saw the team finish in an incredible second place. 

 

This result finished off a perfect day for everyone involved and sentiments and emotions were captured perfectly by Patryk’s parents who sent this message:

Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington is a trading style of Clare James Automotive limited which is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Clare James Automotive Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms, and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
