We’re stoked to announce that we’re taking part in Shitbox Rally 2027 – Winter!
We’ve decided it’s a good idea to buy a $1,500 or less shitbox and drive the bloody thing from Cairns to Darwin over 7 days. What could possibly go wrong?
But seriously, it’s not just about driving an absolute piece of shit across the country. We’re doing it to help raise money for Cancer Council and support the fight against cancer.
So this is where you guys come in…
If you can spare a few bucks, we’d love your support! Whether it’s $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can manage, every dollar gets us closer to our goal — and helps make this ridiculous adventure actually mean something.
So please dig deep, donate if you can, share the shit out of this post and follow along as we attempt to get a $1,500 car from Cairns to Darwin without it completely shitting itself.
Thanks heaps for supporting us. ❤️
The Piss Missiles are driving a $1,500 car from Cairns to Darwin to raise money for Cancer Council
They're doing what!?
Shitbox Rally is a 7-day challenge like no other. Participants drive cars worth no more than $1,500 through some of Australia's most stunning (and often rugged) landscapes, all in support of cancer research. It's not a race — it's a challenge and more importantly, a celebration of the power of community.
Yes, the cars break down, and yes, there are plenty of unexpected twists along the way, but that's all part of the fun.
The rally is designed to be a colourful and unpredictable experience, where teams travel in small groups, helping each other along the way.
And when the day's drive ends, we gather around the campfire, share stories, and reflect on the day's achievements.
This event brings together people who have been impacted by cancer in different ways — whether it's through their own battles or through loved ones. Together we'll make memories that last a lifetime while supporting the fight against cancer.
