BoB = Barcelona or Bust
Sadly this never happened as I was made redundant, Craig was a Student & Adam was called to sea. Since then BoB just stuck, it can mean whatever you want it to.
Members of the team change each year but the drive & ambition is always there.

The challenge that never happened (& started it all)
THE TEAM
|
NAME: Martin Hookway
D.O.B: 07/05/1980
OWN CAR: Ford Galaxy (The Bus)
PERSONAL:Martin is the Brains of the operation, well the one with the most spare time at the moment. Martin is married and has 4 children these are the main reasons he is having a midlife crisis. He is a trained Early Years Practitioner and Playworker, and after a brief stint working for a local college delivering NVQ's in Early Years and Child Care Martin is planning on going back into
NAME: Adam Hookway
D.O.B: 02/04/1983
OWN CAR: Volvo V50 (the old mans car)
PERSONAL: Adam spends the majority of his life in a tin can under the sea. Being a submariner he is used to spending a lot of time in close proximity to other males, this may be great experience for him for a tip through Europe, but it does slightly worry the rest of Team BOB!!! Due to the lack of sun Adam sees because of his job he can be easily spotted in a crowd from a distance (even if the crowd is an albino convention). Adam is always the life and sole of any party, if its not his guitar playing that is entertaining the crowds it is his "fantastic" singing and dancing.

Hookway to Hookway 2010
D.O.B: 25/07/1961
ROLE: THE MAIN Support Driver & Navigator
PERSONAL: Dad to Martin & Adam, A very laid back bloke with the patience of a saint (Saying that, his patience were pushed to the limits after spending 24 hrs a day with Adam on route). This man must have gone to the A-TEAM school as he can make anything out of nothing, If you ever get locked in a shed, pray it's with this man!!!
NAME: Adam Hookway
D.O.B: 02/04/1983
ROLE: THE MAIN Support Driver & Navigator
PERSONAL: Adam spends the majority of his life in a tin can under the sea. Being a submariner he is used to spending a lot of time in close proximity to other males, this may be great experience for him for our trip down south, but it does slightly worry our Dad!!! Due to the lack of "normal" people Adam sees because of his job he can be... Well just take a look at his profile pic, he's special with a capital S. He breaks EVERYTHING he touches & can crash anything. (Ed. Since this was wrote Adam even managed to crash his Submarine)
