I have got the Gumball 3000 DVD and it looks great. Its good that this one is for small cc engines. Plus I could do it (once I pass my test of course).

Looking on there forum, and it shows the cars they try and get to do it. One bloke bought a Fiat Panda for a ?1. It had 40,000 miles on the clock and its MOT had run out. Really good buy for ?1.

a pound? blimey!! that was good, most people apparently just leave them over ther i read when they do this rally. Also the mongolian government excludes a tax which needs to be paid when you enter the country, becuase its for charity!

Whens your driving test John?

I have never had the reason to drive. So I did not seee the point in doing it.

I just want to get a car fist. Then start my lesson, again (make me dad give me some lessons too). I have done lessons before, but I hated my driving instructor after my first lesson. Put me off driving, all together.
Thats why I got into monkey bikes. Only needed a CBT to get started. Only lasted 2 years, but I done it twice. But I am fed up of, getting almost hit buy cars. So I want to get into cars. Safer.

Will be cheaper to buy a Fait 126 in good condition. Compared to the money I was spending on these monkey bikes.

Picture below is my only bike I restored in the last 4 years (the others was never completed). Cost ?1600 to do. Sold for ?900. I was gutted. To top it off, the new owner gave it to his grandson to ride on the local fields!!

Hi
I Would be well up for doing this rally but have a limited knowledge of mechanics. If anyone is thinking of doing it and needs a buddy to go along with them or would come along with me then we should chat.
