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!

Hicost does the endurance rallys but in better cars
google the above and get cars from pistonheads search
Pistonheads is a good source of cars for our mission.
Unlike fleabay its mostly petrolheads selling their roller skates.

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

you've even painted the wheels I never got round to that in 4.5 years
