No1 son and his mate are making plans to enter the 2008 Mongol Rally.
Now the default vehicle has to be under 1000cc and one "that is generally considered to be crap."
However, what has caught their idiotic little eyes is an exception to this rule:
Vehicles of significant comedy value
"In a further bid to up the silly stakes we will consider full exemption from the vehicle rules for demonstrating significant comedy or unlikeliness value. Good examples would be a cherry picker or an electric milk float."
Ice Cream vans have been done to death and an planning to use an electric milk float might suffer from one or two critical logistical flaws.
Any suggestions, welcome. (Ex military vehicles are out as it is generally considered unwise to cross into Eastern Europe in say an APC or AFV even if the things that go bang are deactivated)
