With the 2006 Mongol Rally only 19 days away, I can’t help but get excited… yet I’m not even going this year.

My house mate, however, is. Pete will be driving one of 200 cars to leave Hyde Park on the 22nd of July. What’s more, Pete is following in my wheel tracks. He is part of a team of six taking 3 Austin Minis – Italian Job Style! www.mongolminis.com

It is going to be absolute carnage!

Talking of monumental road trips, I was reading over Marc’s Landrover magazine while I was back in the UK. I was absolutely fascinated by an article following a couple touring South America in their Land Rover. Now that, sounds like fun! Read more at www.lodzi.com.

Browsing a travelers forum the other day, I came across another long trip. This Swiss chap hopes to drive his Toyota Landcruiser around the world! Seriously impressive: www.panmundo.com
