Good luck & have fun!
Where do you get details of how to get on one of these banger rallies? I've often thought it'd be good fun & was almost offered a good car for the job recently but the bloke has decided to keep it, but it's MOT runs out in a couple of months & it'll be up for grabs again then!

are you going to give my old car a paint job like that ^^^

or are you going to cover it in astroturf (like a ramshackle rally car I've seen)

It must be a big thing to be able to legally leave Scotland is it? People even register and decorate their cars for the occasion.

Good luck. That'll need to be a sodding hefty inverter, it'd be cheaper to eat out. Besides, that's cheating
