Save The Planet - 4 years running - GOAL REACHED!

Thanks for all the support people have given to this website, as today it turns 4 years old. I can't begin to think about the countless hours we have spent here. Good times. Bad times. But we are still here. Great bunch of fans, friends, colleagues, etc. Sorry if I had to delete your posts from time to time, but sometimes, topics need to have containment.

We are going to do all we can to get to year number 5, but we need your help.

** if you have already made a contribution, thank you. You have helped to keep the site going up until this point. 100% optional , so thanks again.

Those who want to help, can join the premium group and become a LIFETIME member sponsor to the website.

or you can make a site donation via the save the planet button on the main page, left column.


Premium group members will get a 2013 Planet Dakar T-shirt that looks something like this

( rough idea, but the final product will be awesome. )


Again, 100% optional, thanks for the support & lets keep it going for many years to come.

we have achieved the goal!! 100% by the 7-14-12 deadline. Thanks to everyone who helped keep us going. It was 100% optional & we appreciate it.

a few planet members who contributed have businesses they want to promote here ( much better than those google ads ) & once we get a few of their banners up, please show them some traffic & give em a click.

Again, thanks very much for the support & stay tuned for the shirts.

TOG, thanks for the plug!

The 'planet' has been my 'happy' place when things are not going so well in this economy. I feel like I have a whole new group of friends. Need to keep it running and possibly make a few bucks while we are at it :)

On to Dakar ...

That's a pretty heavy outfit with what I see on the website. It never crossed my mind that folks that live here could be a part of the backbone. Perhaps that's why I remain the equivalent of the guy selling fireworks in "Joe Dirt". Case in point I sent out a small...very small bag of Jerky to a fellow member and the focus of that plan was to send the actual marinade not just jerky, however through haste it never left, also when this latest drive started I realized I had never sent the first "package" I was supposed to about 6 weeks ago. Thanks to all the folks around here, I'm sure if we all got together for a party it would be one hell of a giant.................something.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Thank you !! From us yanks down below

I prefer the direct translation of the french (and original version)....

O Canada!
Land of our forefathers,
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As is thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
Thy history is an epic
Of the most brilliant exploits.
Thy valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights
Will protect our homes and our rights

But in all seriousness, thank you to the sponsors that stepped up the plate and to everyone that donated what they could. We are the best racing fans out there.

full credit mj.

nobody ever sings the english translation of the french lyrics.. try and sing it and you'll see why....

I used to be a Toronto fan, until my beloved Jets came back. Now it's only an 8 hour drive to see my team, unlike the 14 it used to be!

Yeah when Chris put up the French translated version I did try to sing it . It doesn't fit with the same melody lol . Hell like I said until he posted it I didn't even know there WERE 2 versions lol . About the only French I know is the numbers and that's only from watching
" HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA " lol . I do know 1 more Canadian word though LABATTS !

Good Afternoon,

We are very happy to be able to support this site, and perhaps at some point provide support direct to RGM. The more people that see what we do with our organization, and how we can provide service to both the energy market, and for the water pumping business the better. Feel free to ask questions, and keep eyes out in your local markets. There are many infrastructure projects cities will complete at their water treatment plants, power stations, etc., we can supply many of our pumps to these projects.
If you are living in an area of oil and gas production, we have many products and services that these drilling companies use. Show them our site; let them ask us what we can do to improve their operations.
The key connection is the race fan, as an ex racer myself I understand the fan, and sponsors are what makes it all work, and the more collectively achieve the better for the sports we love to follow.

Regards,
James MacFarlane,
Managing Director, Torishima Services Canada
