My Daddy's Tractor

So with today's generation saying this 6-7 nonsense, it made me think that with the vanguard turning 67 yrs old during Lunchbox Rally 2026, maybe that should have been our name. Then I rolled over, things hurt, cracked and sounded like popcorn being cooked in the microwave and thought, no, an old tractor with a tractor motor suits us..

So today as we reflect on what brought us to this position of taking part in the Lunchbox Rally 2026 we announce that we are dedicating this rally efforts to two special people in our lives. Dennika has chosen to dedicate her fundraising efforts too Dee, her mother and my partner who took part in Mystery Box Rally 2025 but has always supported our efforts. Dee has had multiple melanoma removed and continues to remain vigorous in her fight to find others and support those whom also have been victims of this horrible cancer. Tony is dedicating this rallies efforts to my late Grandpa, Brian Watkinson, who passed while preparing for Mystery Box Rally 2025. As we work towards our fundraising goal we thank James Freeman Box Rallies for his incredible efforts (and the team) to get rallies mobile, that give us incite into the research teams that dedicate their lives to finding that vital cure. We are proud to be apart of an organisation that is making a difference. Jump on board, follow us, follow the other teams and take 5 to check out https://www.boxrallies.com/ to find out how you can support and be involved. Why caravan around Australia when you can do it in utter discomfort and breakdown in the middle of nowhere and have the best time of your life in a car worth no more than $1500. Ps, the people and the stars are amazing. Follow us, share us, give a little, give alot, the choice is yours, the same choice many cancer victims don't get without our support 💙 💛

Tony and Dennika are excited to announce that we're taking part in Lunchbox Rally 2026! Lunchbox Rally is the newest fundraising project by the people who do Sh*tbox Rally and Mystery Box Rally, these projects have raised over $55 million for Cancer Council in the last 15 years!

At the 11th hour until eternity, we will remember those whom payed the ultimate sacrifice

Notice something new?

As Sh*tbox Rally Spring came to an end seeing the last rally over for 2025, Team One More Time (Mystery Box Rally 2025) is rebranding into My Daddy's Tractor in preparation for an exciting 2026 with Dees daughter, Dennika, one of our 12 rugrats, and 5th eldest of the 9 girls.

Clearly for those that know Tony Watkinson, this was some time ago!!!! Tony has less hair and grey and Dennika is in high school... maybe the two things are because of one thing! hahaha

As always Dee will be right there with us helping us reach those funding goals. Once our Deed Pole arrives at HQ we are not even close to go.... um yeah, something about a fan going through a radiator (hunting down cheap replacement). Apart from that, the only other thing planned is an upgraded seatbelt for Dennika!, cant compromise on our kids safety.

Bring on the sponsors, the fundraising, the ability to help again, and well, who didnt love seeing the oldest car on the rally, a 1959 Standard Vanguard!

Is it too early to be this excited?

Keep an eye out!
