Contrary to our previous statement. I'd like to assure everyone that we're not going to die on this trip. I hope this assurance doesn't take away from the entertainment.

Unfortunately this one is neither witty nor engaging, but at least I finally got round to writing to something

Good evening, I hope you're well. Apologies that I've not written for a while, but to be honest with the recent workload I've barely had time to respond to my fan mail.

Unfortunately the lack of blog activity is representative of a lack of Rally activity, which will need to change soon in order to get this show on the road.

Having said that, today has been a good day. You'll soon be able to read our first article after Jon Rouston from the Left Lion agreed to interview us. With the car out of reach and no other suitable props for the photo shoot we had to use our imagination, in the end settling for the obvious settings of a childrens' playground and a scrapyard. It was an awesome day out, and hopefully we'll have some photos and a bit of good publicity as well.

We also received our first response to our begging letters. One of our obvious targets was Halford's and we were holding out for something big. So when the package dropped through the letterbox this morning, we were understandably giddy with excitement. Oli ripped off the packaging like a greedy little tyke, eyes bulging with anticipation... it was soon clear that it wasn't the lego space station he was after. In fact, not only was it not the lego space station, but it wasn't even a sodding spanner, which would have at least been of some use. No, Mr Halford decided that what would really help us get to Mongolia was a healthy dose of spray on fabric protector and rub on alloy wheel protector. Interesting.

However, we do thank them for at least acknowledging our letter and to be fair if it was sent by someone with a good sense of humour, then fair play, it did make us chuckle. Additionally, if anyone is after these products, we will happily part with them for a small charitable donation.

Anyway, I'll try and update you again soon. Please feel free to comment and slag Oli off, it would keep us amused. Also please go to the charity page and donate some money.
