Ive been wanting to do the Mongol Rally since i first heard about it nearly two years ago! This year however i finally got the balls (and the cash for that matter) and took the plunge being one of the fortunate teams to gain a place on friday night.
Its going to be mad...and yes, before you ask, im going in a mini!

Anyone else on here going/thinking of going this year?

Congrats Chris, you will have a blast. any thoughts on what Route your taking? I can highly recommend the central route

[cdaspink]

Blatently central route to UB! We are currently planning an extended tour of the far east catching the Trans-Siberian train from UB to Beijing for a week then continue to Hong Kong via Shanghai for a week or two in HK. Fly back to London from HK. The UB to HK to London stint can be done for the same price (if not cheeper) than a flight straight back from UB. Time isnt an issue for us students!

Do you know of anyone who has done something similar from previous years?

Going to be awsome!

Chris

[E.L.M.O]

Yeah a couple.
however visas for china can be hard to obtain.

[Timtom]

You must get loads of photos! then show us.

hi chris,

i'm new to this forum but am doing the rally this summer, also in a mini ('83 mini city, 100 quid, was bust but got it running, drove it home, pulled up to house and all the oil fell out the bottom. sh*t. no mot either, do you know if we definitely need to get it done?)

what are you going to do to your mini , if anything, and what team are you? i'll look you up on the website.

i'm going with my sis, we're team flamboyant.

peace

will

[TOMMO0302]

Alright Will,

Congrats on getting a place, make sure you get lots of photos!

Regarding the MOT, you start in London and drive on public roads, so yes, you'll need an MOT

[Elfie]
