Plymouth Banjul Rally

Post by **Ronnie** » 21 Nov 2005 07:59 pm

Always wanted to do this - looks like it's full for this year, but we could get a team sorted out for Dec 2006?!

Has to be a 360 with trick dust snorkel, jacked up suspension with big steel wheels and sand ladders bolted to the roof.

Who's up for it?

Indeed, I wouldn't mind having a go at it.

Either that or entering a team for Scrapheap Challenge.

Hmm... the latter option is an opportunity to meet Lisa Rogers

Well, is it me or is Scrapheap Challenge getting worse, the tasks are ok, but the contestants are next to useless of what I've seen lately! I think we could submit a pretty good team, there are plenty of clever, hands on, skilled people who frequent this forum. Plus,

who'd not want to see her! And Cathy Rogers, who originally presented it (no relation to Lisa apparently) should make a comeback for us!

Anyone getting Deja Vu with this topic?

Oh and by the way Lisa distracted me there, the Plymouth Banjul Rally sounds like a laugh, but a lot of work, time, expense! I know someone bought a 360 off of Ebay to do a charity trip abroad in a car bought for under £100 or something, but that wasn't quite so extreme, and I seem to think they sold the car on Ebay when they got back, from what I might add was a trouble free run!

Yeah the owner of that 360 resides somewhere on here, black car with some unusual decals, can't remember the name though! It was a £500 budget, and the car was about £450BIN... nice car though!

Post by **petefarrell360** » 22 Nov 2005 12:05 am

Ah that's right, budget was a tad more than the £100 and £15 tinkering money on this one! I wasn't 100% sure if it was the black car or not, that'd be D4V2K1 then! Nice looking car.

I'd be keen for either idea suggested

Now... how many are allowed in a team

Todays Challange/Rally (delete as applicable)

Round 1: 300maniacs A team vs 300maniacs B team
Round 2: 300maniacs C team vs ukTbrickers A team
Round 3: We've given up, the Volvo guys won!

One team is one vehicle with as many people as you want inside. That would be a maximum of 4 travelling in our case I'd suppose. Of course, doesn't stop many more folks helping get the car ready.

Don't worry too much about recommendations on money spent - rules are made to be broken. And we could substitute lots of graft for lots of cash anyway. I reckon we want a carbed 360, is that a GLS? I'm sure we can get one extremely cheaply. Modifications can be done cheaply too if enough man power is involved.
