Vado banger rally..not landcruiser

[Andy]

I am off on Thursday in a £300 Chrysler Grand Voyager for a banger rally across Europe, ending at the casino in Monte Carlo on Sunday.
Basically a plumbers merchant that I deal with (a lot)! Have asked me to join 3 of their managers on this little jolly raising money for charity, we have got about 3 grand so far from various plumbing & heating suppliers.
The plan is to cross on the ferry to France on Thursday in this car which was purchased from some dodgy geezers in south London, & meet up with the other 50 odd cars in Belgium ready for the start on Friday morning, I think it's 8 countries that we have to do, all in fancy dress, with various challenges on the way.
We have to go over the Alps etc as much as possible rather than the gothard tunnel etc,
If the car makes it, we then plan on driving it back from Nice next Monday, if not we'll dump it & fly home!
It does say in the rules that there should be no deliberate ramming of other competitors cars, quite what it will be like I don't know, but that statement does seem to imply it'll be a bit crazy, whatever happens I'm sure it'll be a laugh with a bunch of nutters!
Oh and they are encouraging teams to do a bungee jump off the 220 m verscasa dam......

That looks like a shed load of fun Andy, you're gonna have to share some wacky photos on here, or I guess I'll follow the antics on that link.

Good luck, and let's hope the wheels don't fall off!

Keep an eye out for a purple micra, if it makes it a mate will be in it.

I've done a couple of these myself. Always an absolute blast.

Here is a little inspiration for you from one of the ones I've done.
