Thanks Ray! - Yes, that's me (and I painted her myself!)

Thanks for uploading the image - What does everyone think of her?

James.

Surely having been driven to Mongolia would increase a Mog's value. I mean, how cool would it be to say 'this one's been to Mongolia and she's still in good shape..' and have the pics to back it up. I know it would cost a packet to get it back, but any abandoned Mog is a sad thing. As for 'one less...

Thanks for all the messages of support guys - We're going to be at the National Rally on Saturday so look out for us!

We're over £1400 now - Thanks!

Just found the link on the BBC site - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hereford/worcs/3906411.stm Well done to the lady. Sadly, I cannot get the time off work to do that. To address an earlier point, if you want to donate then writing a cheque to the charity of your choice (Save the Children or Se...

It would appear that London-Sydney is about 1800m further than London-Ullan Baatar.

Did the team make it?

I may have to drive back!

Lol

James.

I'd love to drive it back but I'd lose around three weeks wages in doing so! A few other teams are planning to ship their cars back, so cost and space permitting I may find a way to bring her back (don't count on it though!). I'm sure that there must be a motor museum of sorts in Ullan Baatar. The c...

Thanks - The water and fuel cans are already part of our kit. The by-pass hoses are a very good idea - Thanks.

A friend of mine has offered me bits from a Mini in his chicken shed. I believe the two cars share the same Austin A-Series engine.

Thank you for your help!

James.

LOL! I confess, I've actually fitted reclining seats into the Minor.... :S What spares would anyone advise me to take? Currently, in addition to equipment we have 4 x spare wheels (with tyres!), spare points and rotor arm, HT leads, Disrtibuter cap & fuel pump. Are there any other bits that woul...

Thanks Martyn! - Are there any booking arrangements that we should make?

I can't believe it's so close! - I'm really looking forward to that now

James.

Thanks! - Yes, we are interested in in attending the National Rally! Where is Breamore House exactly? It would be so nice to join so many other Minors!

James.

Sorry John, but I have no intention of pulling the Minor out of the rally. I've spent considerable time and effort in preparing the car for her epic journey. Whilst I agree that spotting a Minor on British roads in pristine condition is a joyous treat, I think that one less Minor is no love lost. Sh...

Sorry to be thick, but how exactly do you link to a picture? (for your signature)!

james.

The cars are supposed to be auctioned off for charity at the end of the rally but there has been talk of abandoning this. If I can find a reasonable qoute then I ship her back, otherwise we will abandon her and fly back. Unless anyone wants to collect her and drive her back to Blighty? LOL! Oh, Do a...

Hi again guys. Thanks for the words of wisdom. Maybe being a country lad I'm being a bit naive about this. You are of course, welcome to meet me and inspect the Minor if you're in the Wiltshire area. You will be able to follow my progress (or lack of!) on the www.mongolrally.co.uk site (and learn ab...

Thanks everyone!

You can donate to me direct via www.paypal.com
My email for doing this is su_nioj@hotmail.com

Thanks

James.
