A few of the WK Honda team (Chris, Paulo, Kev) went for the day to Silverstone to meet the 2010 Honda British Touring Car team. The point of the day was to get closer to what they do, meet the engineers and drivers and see how we can make best use of their brilliance (manufacturer champions 2010) in what we do.

 
We met everyone from the "boy who helps out at weekends" to the Technical Director of the team, and finally the two drivers with 25 podium finishes between them this season (Gordon & Matt). They started off by talking us through everything the do to a Honda Civic to turn it into a race car…

 
…and then we got dressed for some seriously scary/fast laps around the Silverstone track being driven by the two professionals (it was work, honest).

and Paulo is the only person in Britain who could dress for a visit to a garage wearing white shoes. Nice touch.

October was breast cancer awareness month and we wanted to do our bit.

So last Thursday we had a charity day to raise some money. We themed the day around the popular advertising-related drama series Mad Men.

The whole agency joined in the fun by wearing their finest Mad Men inspired attire.
Ladies wore their pencil skirts and the gentlemen came to work in their tailored suits.

Through out the day we raised money by putting on different games and activities where you could donate cash to play.We had a best dressed competition, a raffle, a sweet tuck shop where you could buy the very popular chocolate cigarettes and at 17:30 we had our very own Mad Men inspired bar serving Martinis and Bourbon in our library.

Not only did we have loads of fun, we managed to raise £600, which Neil has kindly said will be matched by W+K. Brilliant news!

To share a bit more of our day with you here are some photos….

Meet our Mad Men (and ladies).
