TPi Magazine – August 2019

TSL’s Anthony ‘Turbo’ Hall set off on Friday 19 July in ‘Poppy’ – a wholly

unsuitable 1000cc Perodua Kenari – with his teammate Abby ‘Henri’

Cooper. Over the next 12 or so weeks, they will drive

through no fewer than 22 countries.

The car joins a fleet of vehicles as part of the

world-famous Mongol Rally. Turbo and Henri have

named their intrepid team the Nomadic Numpties,

which is certain to be eye-catching as they race

through eastern Europe and into lesser-travelled

terrains towards deepest Russia. “I’ve known about

the Mongol Rally for many years and it’s always

something I’ve dreamed of doing,” said Turbo.

“When the chance to enter arose, we jumped at it.

It’s an unsupported drive, which means we’ve had to

take care of all our own travel arrangements, accommodation, visas and

other elements, so getting ever ything sorted has been quite a process.

We’re excited for this adventure and proud to be

raising money for such a good cause.”

The team has already smashed its initial

fundraising target, raising almost £4,000 for Backup

so far. TSL HQ will be tracking the Nomadic Numpties’

progress over the next few months via their Instagram

page. They are inviting the industr y to make a

donation to Backup, the benevolent fund set up to

provide financial support to technical professionals in

their time of need, via the TSL Lighting website.
