Lots has happened since we last updated the website. We've got Barney back from the Rally Preparation Services guys and have been running the new engine in. We've been up to Birmingham, Nottingham, Bristol and even Wales. We've also had a bit of trouble with the car and had to replace the head gasket last weekend! Preparations are going well though and its now only 26 days until we set off!!

We went on an off road weekend in Wales which was a real treat! Got to meet up with a load of people who we'd met before and some that we'd not. I think everyone had a good night and it was really good to see everyones cars.

The car's been at Rally Preparation Services with Simon for the past few weeks, and the transformation is amazing. There's a new engine, gearbox and exhaust, there's a whole load of stiffening inside the car to stop the famous Allegro body wobble and there's now a much greater chance that our little Barney will make it to Mongolia!

Just added photos of our trip down to Kent to buy spare parts and also our trip out to Oxfordshire to see Barney and drop off the spare parts at the garage.

Its been a while since we've updated the site but here's the latest. The car is now at the Rally Preparation Services garage in Oxfordshire. Dominic and a friend limped it over there with a broken clutch but it gave out on the Oxford ring road just around the corner from the Garage and made the rest of the journey courtesy of the AA. We'll be doing an engine transplant next weekend. Photos and videos to follow.

Tried taking the car to a friends to work on the water leak and it broke down!! The throttle jammed open!! Its fixed now tho and running like a beauty. The water leak has been held at bay by bits of rubber gloves!

To make things worse Pats Golf 'John' has pissed oil everywhere!

We have a car!! Bought on ebay the other day and Dom picked it up today! Has a slight leak in one of the hoses to the radiator but apart from that its great! Click here to take a look.

The map feature has been added, looks pretty good even if I do say so myself! With this you'll be able to track our progress in almost real time as we drive to Mongolia. Click here to take a look at our planned route. B

The first car viewing- Dom, Vicki and a friend Andy went to view a car. It looks like its the one for us. Hopefully we'll get it!

Website launched. Its a bit basic at the moment but hopefully you'll be able to see where we're trying to go with it.
