We're called The Bearded Dragons at the moment, welsh thing coming through but we're going to have to chance it as I've found out there's already a team of that name who went this year. The teams for next year won't be listed yet I don't think

Get a team together and come with bro! You've got til next July!

Thanks everyone, I've got some good news though; we'll be driving it back and keeping it :) it costs a mint to import cars over 10 years old into Mongolia so we're driving back through Russia, apparently it's a real direct route and only takes a week or so. Electronic ignition is a great idea, I use...

Awesome!

Yeah I think some gnarlier tyres would defo be a good shout.

A friend of mine suggested a hand winch the other day, what do you think? Saves spending on an electric winch and new bumper and saves a bit of weight I thought? We'll need a land anchor either way as we're crossing three deserts!

Thanks man!

It's in pretty good nick to be honest, but don't worry we'll be looking after it

Haha let me try and upload a photo from my phone:

That's good to hear

Thanks everyone, yes I think it's a bit of a once in a lifetime experience, I've worked long hours all my life so far, so haven't had the chance to do any travelling so this ticks a few boxes for me.

Honest opinions on the reliability of the 1 litre SJ engine for long distance trips?
