The aim is to raise $100k and offer a wild experience

As a member of the Central West Car Club, Richard Jefferay has featured on numerous occasions with his many and varied vehicles.

Most have been meticulously restored with dedication and care.

Sadly, the same can't quite be said for his latest build - a 2003 Kia Carnival with only one purpose in mind - to demolish it!

Putting all jokes aside though, there's more to this shoddy rebuild than you think, so I spoke to him and his co-conspirator Brenton Trainor about it; only to discover that for only $10 you could be driving this beauty.

"The motivation is to try and raise up to $100,000 for Prostate Cancer and this is just a small part of it," Richard said.

"Last year we ran a Fergie tractor trek and raised just over $40,000 so we decided to up the ante a bit".

So here's the deal.

For $10 a ticket you'll be in the draw for the chance to drive the Kia in the Demolition Derby at this year's Parkes Show.

All the work has been done. Richard, Brenton and Lindsay Wall got together over a couple of weekends and built the car.

It's a V6 auto so for any newcomers it's easy to drive and sure to be plenty of fun.

The derby itself is on Wednesday, August 28 and there's plenty of rules in place to keep the drivers safe.

Richard and Brenton will supply overalls and helmet for the lucky winner and they'll even deliver the car and remove it at the end.

Who knows; if it's still a runner and you're keen they'll get it going again for you for another crack at Eugowra Show.

As expected, there's always a back story to these car stories, and it couldn't be funnier.

By chance, Brenton currently uses a Kia Carnival as his daily driver and he'd parked it at Richard's home workshop while they tackled another job.

When Richard's brother offered to help strip the Kia for the derby, you can guess what happened - unbeknowns to the pair, he started pulling apart the good one instead of the white one in the shed, and it wasn't until the penny dropped that the correct car got stripped and Brenton's got put back together.

If you're interested in the chance of a lifetime to drive your own demolition derby car, $10 tickets are available at Parkes Tyrepower and Parkes Auto Wreckers or at the Parkes Show.

For the less adventurous, donations to their Prostate Cancer cause are greatly appreciated.
