Thanks for the offer but I will decline, this is just for a bit of fun. I have no interest in spending time and money getting a car roadworthy only to trash it and probably scrap it after my trip. I spend enough time and money on my Impreza as it is lol.

At present we are looking to fall back on my car or my mates 911.. Maybe not a bad idea as we know they are mechanically sound  :lol

Shame the Robins are so expensive :)









hey mids.....thats a kitten,a four wheeled robin..........nice thought though,a trip to germany has to be something truly british,whats the chances of finding two kittens.... ;)


I know it's a kitten  Paul.  I was saying shame Robins are so expensive because the 3 wheeler would be more fun :)

Look for an Austin maxi 1750.  It'll easily get you there in comfort and with the double bed feature save you on hotel bills ;)

Pretty sure the mongol rally was always a limit of £500.  Seems it's all change this year though and 125cc bikes can enter :)

Cheers for suggestion. are they not all rotten by now? lol. Already paid for camping so sleeping in it will not be needed.
Nothing quite tops a Jag for the pose factor and having a V8 in my book :)

And the Mongol rally we have discussed doing before. Might get round to it one year.
