Hi. For those who don't know, 3 members of this very forum will be undertaking the Mongol Rally. What's the Mongol Rally? Unlike the other banger rally pootles around Europe (as fun as they look), this one is actually a challenge: link. The rules are simple: One finish line, £1000 for charity and a hilariously unsuitable car.
Team members are myself, jrevillug and Colonelk . Here's Colon eating an ice cream:
So, purposely difficult roads chosen all the way to Mongolia. How hard can it be? It's only 10,000 miles right? Easy peasy. How far is that anyway? Oh...
That far. And with "easy" return route that totals 15,000 miles. And 6 weeks. How hard can it be, right?
Ok, well we could have bought a pretty solid Micra 1.0 for less than £500. So did we? Err, no. That'd be boring, right? A blind decision on ebay got us this instead:
Looks pretty good actually:
Oh wait:
Oh no.
Yeah...
What we've done here is we've spent too much money on a rusty PITA again.
