mongol rally

Huh. If I'm careful with my vacation time over the next 18 months, I could have a very comfortable six week block saved up for the Mongol Rally. And if we get done early, well, Beijing would be just a 30 hour train ride away...

Heh, like me you can then return to the city of your birth (or some other place you've been) with a non-zero winding number.

Yes! That would be particularly pleasing about flying back in that direction.

if i have some sort of enormous financial windfall by then, count me in. Even if I don't I should be getting a little geo metro (a 1 L motor) that I would love to fix up for a rally :)

That would be cool. Even better than a motorcycle trip across the states!

I'm still hoping we can buy a vehicle in Europe instead of having to ship one over. More in the spirit of things anyway to buy some beater the week before. :)

i'd still like to own a baja-geo with a rally light bar.

To clarify/expound on my comments yesterday, I would be more than happy to come to .uk to help get the expedition ready to go, but I don't think I would actually be up for the expedition itself. Although I'm reconsidering...
