Trying to Save the World by Driving to Mongolia

This July, I will be driving from London to Mongolia, in a piece of #### car, all in the name of charity.  I'm taking part in the Mongol Rally.  It is, in fact, as ridiculous as it sounds. 

What: The Mongol Rally is an annual charity race across Eurasia where 500 cars traverse 1/3 of the world in 1-liter engine vehicles and, with a lot of luck, make it all the way to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. There’s no route and no help, but a whole lot of road and good deeds along the way.

Come on, that's great that its for a charity, but does it have to be using long distance driving? Not trying to be a buzzkill, but in our economy/ climate crisis, it's terrible how your using your car like that. I'm only in high school, but even I know not to do that.. -sad face/ maybe ride a bike all the way? Hahah..

I did this in 2006, it was excellent fun, though pretty hard going at times! Which route are you doing?

My flickr set of the pictures is here...

I reckon a car with a 1-liter engine actually gets superb fuel economy, maybe even better than a prius! For instance the thirstiness of the Daihatsu Cuore, a car which slots nicely into the rally rules, is effectively demonstrated here: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/daihatsu_cuore_a_lot_less_thirsty?size=_original

Went through a bentalyser last night on the way to KFC and then 10 minutes later all the coppers on their dinner break came to the KFC (round the corner). It made me wonder if they setup the drug bus around the corner from the KFC on purpose. Not only that but if you were stoned and in the KFC when 20 cops turn up...I think you would give yourself away like this bloke.

ps: that copper has a laugh
