Plymouth-Banjul Rally - Yes, I am insane...

[morebhp]

All,<br>
<br>
Just a quick note to let you all know that I am doing <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.plymouth-banjul.co.uk/" target="top">The Plymouth-Banjul Rally</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> in February 2007.<br>
<br>
I gather you have to be mad to enter, so enter I did! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Is anyone else in the club doing the Plymouth-Banjul?<br>
<br>
So, my question is does anyone know of any left-hand drive bangers for sale? The simpler the better - none of this fuel-injected nonsense...<br>
<br>
Oh yeah, and the cheaper the better!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

PS If I can find a LHD dolly, that would be even better <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I could afford 3 weeks off in February, I'd have a go! <br>
<br>
Sounds like a good laugh and it is all for charity. Have a great time. <br>
<br>
Have you tried E-bay for cars?

With my luck Adam you'll be right. 2 breakdowns in the final week I was using it including one only 2 hours from freedom from the hateful thing was pretty typical of my luck with that car. <br>
<br>
Best thing about being rid of it (apart from the surprising pile of cash) is that I will never, ever again have to visit an VW dealer parts desk. Ever. Bliss.<br>
<br>
I didn't dare hope for 3 figures when I put it on ebay having not got a single bid for it last year, if this thread had turned up 6 weeks earlier.... As it turned out I sold the car for considerably more than the Banjul rules state the car should cost.<br>
<br>
I'll keep my eyes peeled.<br>

All, yes it should be a right hoot!<br>
<br>
Cheers for your support in my insanity <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Yes I am setting up a website for our team - <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.teamflapjack.co.uk/" target="top">www.teamflapjack.co.uk/</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, but there's nowt there yet - been too busy trying to get the dolly V8 MoT'd for Classic & Retro @ Santa Pod this weekend....<br>
<br>
Three weeks of work? A sensible insane person would book their flight back from Banjul <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>four</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> weeks after they leave Plymouth... We WILL break down at some point!<br>
<br>
Yes, I've tried ebay for cars... A few months ago you could pick up a LHD banger for beer money. Sadly there are now 200 teams looking for LHD cars, and ebay appears to be where they're looking, judging by the prices now... (£150 for a LHD 83 Renault 5, in UK, Spanish registered, no MoT or tax, and £300+ for anything that looks half decent <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> )<br>
<br>
I'll keep you posted as the hunt goes on....

There is a guy who has a load of yank cars at the place where I store my Stag. No idea if they are road-worthy or even for sale. I might be able to make some enquiries for you but they all look like gas guzzlers.<br>

Went to the meet and greet event the other weekend... Picked up a DVD of the first run - it looks mad!
