Minor to Mongolia
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2015 9:58 pm
Greetings all !
So we have decided to drive to Mongolia (yes I know its already been done) and have purchased a 1969 two door with a 1.3 A+ engine in ruddy good condition.
I`m Rory,Irish living in Bath and run a chimney sweeping business, my pal Paul is a agricultural engineer and it was his stupid idea to do the trip in a moggy so is there any other equally daft moggy owners who would like to join the fun (bring your own moggy at least a 1098 in fine fettle) ?
We shall be raising the suspension, fitting a sump guard, modifying the exhaust, fitting Rostyles and various other enhancements to increase our odds of bringing our Moggy home.(did I mention Pauls an engineer?)
My role is procurement,paperwork,visas,route planning and am currently doing a crash course in Russian.
We will be leaving the first week of June, we fully intend on completing the trip in hopefully 8 weeks taking the southern route through Turkey/Georgia/Azerbajain/The Stans returning through Russia via Moscow following the Trans Siberian rail route.
It would be a lot more fun with two moggys and a great advantage to have a tow vehicle on hand !
You only live once so any one interested ?
