Long story short - the posts from 2011 are from the original attempt with my friends to go to the "Race" group of the Bamako rally, to which I (D, real name David ;)) didn't manage to go in the end. Any posts starting October '12 are from the 2012 attempt with me and the wife :)
Do note, I use all kinds of colorful language, and am politically incorrect. You have been warned.

The Car!

Ladies, Gentlemen, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri that live in our garden shed!

It gives me great pleasure, satisfaction and joy - aye, joy! - to be able to present to you on this glorious day (okay, it's actually turgid and rainiy, but let's not go there), the car that will be taking us to Africa in all it's truly insane glory.


Of course, there are a few things which I haven't dared put on yet - mostly all the little wind-powered LED lights... Hell, we need to take it to Slovenia this weekend to pick-up the roof box, and, well, I'd rather not expose myself to too many police officers while doing that.
This, of course, won't be a problem on the actual rally itself, seeing as we can breeze through the entire country in 3.5h :D
