Welcome to the Central Coast Sun

JAX Tyres & Auto Gosford franchisee owner, Peter Bonvino, will be participating in the upcoming spring Shitbox Rally, an iconic event that unites car enthusiasts to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

The Shitbox Rally is renowned for its unique and adventurous challenge, where participants drive cars, valued at less than $1,500, across Australia’s rugged terrain.

This year, Peter will team up with his brother-in-law Nathan Metcalfe for the second time, as the duo return as the Sons of AnaCamry.

Taking place from the October 18 to 26, participants will be making their way from Bendigo to Townsville for the 2024 spring edition.

Peter and his team are determined to complete the distance and plan to visit each JAX Tyres & Auto store on the way. Every donation made to Sons of AnaCamry will be acknowledged with a special mention on their Shitbox vehicle, honouring those who have been affected by cancer.

Last year’s rally raised over $2M for the Cancer Council, and that amount has already been surpassed in 2024, with $2,084,708 raised so far.

Peter said: “Everyone has had someone in their life affected by cancer; I lost my mother-in-law. By participating in the Shitbox Rally, we can make a difference and support those who are struggling. Our goal is to cross the finish line while raising as much money as possible and enjoying the event as a team. I am especially looking forward to the dress-up days, so be sure to follow along and check out what we get up to and how much money we raise.”
