Morris Minor to Mongolia

Post by **iandromiskin** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 1:01 pm

I just saw my local paper in Drogheda, Co. Louth - the 'Drogheda Independent', and there was this story about two lads who propose to drive from Ireland to Mongolia for charity in, wait for it, a Morris Minor. (Although I have to say the paper refers to the Minor as a 'banger' which I consider moderately offensive if I do say so myself....)

Anyway, what do you think ? Can they make it ?

As well as calling the cars "bangers" they also either get wrecked on the way there and abandoned or abandoned on arrival. Its a one way trip. I think they should use genuine bangers rather than classics for this sort of thing.
