Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I thought I'd give it a try.
I picked this up from my 2nd favourite internet forum, tripadvisor.com from the UK section. The poster looks genuine enough - been a forum member for quite some time and has made a fair number of real (i.e. non-commercial) posts offering and seeking advice. Should be easy enough to check bona fides as well. Apparently bagpipes are part of the set up, so if you're not a music lover, maybe not for you.
A possible opportunity for a birder with a driving licence and a bit of time available this year for a few weeks birding across the Atlantic.
I've written to the poster and will be happy to pass on any queries or details.
BTW - the only things stopping me from snapping this up is that our leave commitments are already sorted out and it coincides with the annual Whale and Dolphin Watch and we're planning on joining in.

" Yes, this is a genuine post and not some dodgy time share offer!
Looking for anyone aged 25 or over who is free to travel to the US from about 20 June to 9 July and has a clean driving license.
Bodega are a young Scottish Band, winners of the Radio2 Young Folk awards 2006. They are booked to do a small tour around New York state, Connecticut and Massachusetts but there is just one small problem - they are all too young at 18/19 to drive a hire a car in America.
So they are looking for a driver - the hire car could be arranged by their agent - and offering in return paid flights and most of their food and accomodation. Apart from driving and helping load instruments, the driver would have loads of free time ( there are several whole days with no commitments) to go sightseeing, etc as they please and it would be really great for anyone with an interest in traditional music festivals.
In trad music there are no mega bucks on offer but this could still be a great opportunity for someone who fancies travelling but is tight on cash themselves or just fancies something a bit different.
Please feel free to contact me on the Forum or by private TA message if genuinely interested.
Or if anyone out there has any advice on other ways to do this!"
