Well if you are reading this you know what it is, i am 99% doing this now, only total coupe failure will stop me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I have asked a mate if he wanted to come along and do some of the driving, but he added it up and i think he has pulled out <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Would love to do the 3k miles with someone elso as i will get p1ss bored on my own. Anyone who wants to join me for the 800 odd quid fee plus their own expenses (i am paying for all fuel and fines (mine), tolls insurance for second driver etc then pm me or reply here. I am not saving anything by asking, but i think it would be a real laugh with a second person on board... Adam

Only 21 places left!

I'd love to do this but sadly don't have the money and it clashes with my Mongolian job.

Must say the locations, roads and parties listed do sound awesome.

John.

Adam - i'm tempted by this. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

What's in the 6 disc changer BTW?

Ipod mate, get with the times, lol....20 gig of whatever you want. will splash out on a portable dvd player too to make it a bit more bearable! Still waiting on my dope of a mate to "check his finances".... Should be a giggle i think!!!

good luck john on the mongolian rally, looks wicked!

I did this..

www.rustywing.co.uk

in Oct 04. The lads and I are STILL telling stories of the rally. I've done Stelvio and Furkapass in a 1.6l MK2 Golf and did think.. this would be good fun in something with a bit more poke.

I'll have a think as inevitably it'll end up costing twice as much as the entry fee. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cheers Adam - I'm still amazed by how many of these crazy rallies there are (though I have to say mine still looks the craziest <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />!).

John.

@ john, it does if anyone actually does it on the recommended chicken chaser (honda cub, how mental is that)!!!
@ kenno, i think for me with fuel bills etc it will total another 600 quid for food and fuel, but must check italian fuel prices <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well nobody will share a room with me, so my plans of going are wiped out. Just cannot justify £1275 pounds on 8 days away and a room to myself. I am gutted to be honest.

AJG i would have love to join you on this, but i wish i had that sort of money laying about. Would make an excellent holiday after being told im not going to Le Mans now <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I was expecting it to be 950 not 1200 odd... teams of two cost 825 each <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ad's, clear your PM box please

deleted some messages, cheers

It's only £950 if you can find another entrant to share a room with <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/idea.gif" alt="" />

John.

thats what i have been trying to do mate... my mate dropped out 2 months ago, and nobody on the 5k wants to share. good start. i can see why it is nice to have your own room, but there must be ONE person willing to share. obviously not <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> one person getting back in touch with organisers monday, so 50/50 wheter i can do this or not... may try the eurothrash instaed as have more time to find a partner and total cost will be less for me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> just be a bit embarrassed having the coupe tbh, some hot motors on the euro one

Yup, it's going to be a superb event, i will be going (filming the whole event). <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

what name you down as dave, what no and car?

Sorry, only just noticed your reply. I'm driving one of the Jeep camera/support cars mate, it's strictly business for me, although I do hope to have some fun amongst the stress of running 10 cameras at once. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

some pics from the start....

I'm still recovering from the event, rarely getting more than 2 hours sleep a night! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boring.gif" alt="" />

I drove more mileage than anyone else on the event too.

Was good to see a Coupe on the event, and it worked out well having you as a room mate. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

only cos you got lost so much, and forgot your luggage. that doesn't count <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Suprised the coop made it. neefds some extra tlc now, more cost. Hope more of the forum are tempted for the next one as it was a frustrating but fantastic week. Hope i am not with such a terrible snorer next time <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Blimey - the coop made it back without blowing up?!? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I've been on a tunnel run with these guys.. I imagine that i would have been been running at 1.4Bar in top for the whole week!

cos it was 40 deg c on some of the days running high boost was not wise, and in the mountains the fueling was way off too, so kept it to 1 bar (240bhp) normally, and 1.2 on the first day or two. only gear linkage plastic bush gave me trouble, and warped discs, and posibbly a thermostat problem. i let the bad boys go fast alone, and just enjoyed my own driving time

How was stelvio?! Any three point turns? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ah yes, I should have filmed that snoring! How loud?! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Got lost? I was fine, most of the time people were following me assuming I had sat nav! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I must say that your Coop looked good on those alloys, about the first time i've liked a set of non standard wheels on a Coop. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again for taking my luggage for most of the trip mate, see you for the dvd screening. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

2 at the beginning, then got into the swing of things <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

AJG, was looking for you at Brands i was in the sprinter parked nearbye having tunnel runned down to the start, Boss Cerbera commented your car was the nicest on the rally!! good work.

Kenno, i keep getting tunnel runners coming up to me asking whether iv seen the other coupe that does tunnel runs as it's crazy fast, guessed they were talking about you!!! when you on another one?

Gumballer - i'd love to take the honours for that, but i think they're talking about Barbz. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Theres a run thoight which i might be going along to.

Phil aka Boss Cerb is one of the coolest guys you could meet so that really is a compliment. I saw the coop with the 3oo sticker ion it and hung around for a while hoping to have a chat but wasn't to be. gonna get my arse down to a tunnel run very soon while i am still stickered up, be nice to see the fb5k people again <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Phil is a top bloke alright, and so is his Boss Cerb <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" />, not only that he has another 4.5 Cerb that has just been remapped and treated to my induction kit <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />, he also has quite a few other exotics in his garage............
