Dont forget the Plymouth-Dakar Rally.

45 competitors set off on Boxing day for the 4000 mile run. No mega buck budgets here......
Purchase price of vehicle not to exceed £100 and up to £15 to be spent on modifications.

Theres an Ice Cream van on its way and a FSO towing a caravan.....
Last year more than half of the competitors made it to the end......thats a better ratio than the `Offical` run.
Normal practice in Dakar is to sell or give the finishers to the locals and fly home.

Its good to know that stupidty and sheer mupperty is alive and well Laughing
