Flymo if you're reading this

So you fire up your computer on a morning and think to yourself "Hmmm, I need to reply to that e-mail I ignored yesterday, and then prepare for that meeting at 11.00, but first up I'm gonna have a little looky at what the Mongol rally boys are upto" and what do you get? Bugger all.

That's my way of apologising for the paucity of posts recently and the shortage of news. Coops is in Notts this weekend so I'm trying to recky some locations for an interview we're doing with one of the lads from Left Lion - Hyacinth is currently in Taunton and I can't find a Starlet anywhere else - people in scrap yards actually laughed when I asked if they had one - I imagine this is becuase they are so relaible nobody ever scraps them...possibly. Might have to think about a new angle for the photos if we can't track one down.

Anyway we're also writing out to the sort of organisations we want to be associated with to see if they'd like to get involved in the fun. Flymo if you're reading this, you don't return my calls, you ignore my letters, we love you guys....

I will try and stick some of the press coverage we get up in one of the sections, so you can laugh at my limbs and coops' flame.

1000 hits

So we have just edged past the 1000 hits mark. If I can find out who was the 1000th visit I will sort them out a T-shirt. Anyone want to claim it get in touch.

Letters are going out as we speak, and we should have Mongol Rally Top Trumps up any day.

Sponsorship Incentives

See the Charity section for the full range of excellent products that could be yours if you dip your hand in your pocket and sponsor us for our long trip to Mongolia. Know anyone who could supply us with useful travel equipment we'll put their logo on our car? All help greatfully accepted.

Arise Hyacinth - honorary Micra!

The more observant of you may have noticed that Hyacinth is infact not a Micra. Now for some teams this would present a challenge, but not to intrepid souls like ourselves. Coops seems to think the fact our car isn't a Micra injects much needed humour into our otherwise trad name. I tend to feel that modern life enforces too many conventions and rules limiting our ability to achieve amazing things. Would Richard Branson have circumnavigated the globe in a balloon, would Scott have been the first man to the Arctic if they had bowed to such rules? Ok, so you may say that Branson failed repeatedly in his balloon, and Scott wasn't the first man to the Arctic.

To which I simply say we couldn't find a Micra in our price range, and we were scared it wouldn't get us there anyway. Arise Hyacinth - honorary Micra!

Vote Labour on May 3rd....and Logos arrive!

You may be wondering why it's been so quiet recently. Coops had the first part of the 'Holy Trinity' of events for 2007 with his final Actuarial exam, but the second part comes on Thursday with the local elections with which I have been embroiled in terms of pulling things together. Thankfully we are now nearly there, which will leave only the concluding part of the Trinity - Mongolia.

Thankfully things are moving along better than we hoped. We now have a car, a website closing in on 750 hits, and now a range of quality logos - take a bow Mr Joe Robinson - contact details in the Hall of Fame. I think you will agree they are awesome. T-shirts and Badges coming soon.





Awesome!
