Lots has happened since we last updated the website. We've got Barney back from the Rally Preparation Services guys and have been running the new engine in. We've been up to Birmingham, Nottingham, Bristol and even Wales. We've also had a bit of trouble with the car and had to replace the head gasket last weekend! Preparations are going well though and its now only 26 days until we set off!!
UPDATE 28/4/08
The car's been at Rally Preparation Services with Simon for the past few weeks, and the transformation is amazing. There's a new engine, gearbox and exhaust, there's a whole load of stiffening inside the car to stop the famous Allegro body wobble and there's now a much greater chance that our little Barney will make it to Mongolia!
UPDATE 14/4/08
Just added photos of our trip down to Kent to buy spare parts and also our trip out to Oxfordshire to see Barney and drop off the spare parts at the garage.
UPDATE 13/4/08
Its been a while since we've updated the site but here's the latest. The car is now at the Rally Preparation Services garage in Oxfordshire. Dominic and a friend limped it over there with a broken clutch but it gave out on the Oxford ring road just around the corner from the Garage and made the rest of the journey courtesy of the AA. We'll be doing an engine transplant next weekend. Photos and videos to follow.
