Counter to some posts on another thread that the young aren't bothered by doing stuff, here's a link that worth looking at:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-en...ol-rally-manchester-to-russia-in-a-fiat-panda
...as an aside, what car (or vehicle) would you choose for this (must be old banger status)? I'd go for a 1999 1.3l K11E Nissan Micra - camchain engine, pretty well indestructable....or a 2004 1.4l Honda Jazz - same, but with more space.
Modus 1.5DCI - 80+ mpg, very roomy for a little car, highish driving position and comfy - Mk2 version so you don't have to take the car apart to change a headlight bulb
yip, its my weekday don't give a shit, racking up the miles car. just touching 200k mls, i can confirm having PDI'd it and been the only one to service it, its had nothing more than oil and filters, a bit of brake work, one rear axil and one starter motor. over 70mpg. cheeper to maintain than a modus faster than a modus. handles better than a modus looks better than a modus. panda drivers are cooler than modus drivers.
I think I'd take a Ford Transit or a just buy a camper or a caravan and a scoda, one with those extended mirrors that whack pedestrians and cyclists. I wouldn't take a sat nav. I'd ask for directions like in the good old days. Russia is a big place, can't be that hard to find. I'd also bring a pet, like a monkey. Everyone likes monkeys and he could steal food and do tricks for money. I would call my monkey 'dirty bastard'
A 2CV. Nothing complex on it, it's like a meccano set car, you can easily unbolt and rebolt pieces back on. Mind you it might take twice as long as everyone else to get there. Picture opportunity. Ignore the photobomb by the yellow thing in front of it
only a .......? needs to tell everybody that their other car is an exige. yer gonna need a bigger forum if i was to list my Sunday cars *finger*.
