Until we meet again...

Postby Maxwell » 05 Sep 2011 19:00

Hi Friends

Today we sold our TR7\V8 to fund a Charity Road Trip to Mongolia. Ten Thousand miles across mountains and arid desert in something akin to a Clio or a Saxo, a Fiesta or a Micra. We also need to raise £1000, half of which will be donated to The Hospice In The Weald and the other half to a charity nominated by the organisers.

Should anyone wish to follow my Blog, please e-mail me for details.
We leave Goodwood on Saturday 14th July 2012 \ watch out for The Festival Of Slow! I also need a co-driver - and a co-co-driver - with around six weeks free time on their hands next summer!

It's been good chatting on here.... but for me things have moved on and TR ownership is now a thing of the past.

Maxwell, sold already? After all that talk on Saturday of it being a last resort! I still say you will regret it in the future.
Keep in touch and let me have details of the blog and fundraising schemes.
Good luck with it.

That sounds like a fantastic trip. My son did trains from Estonia to Moscow, then the Trans-Siberian Express through Mongolia and China, ending up in Laos. He said Mongolia was one of the most amazing parts of the trip. He got invited to a wedding in some yurts out in the middle of no-where and they all got drunk on fermented horse milk. (I think it's an acquired taste.)

Good luck with the big adventure and fund raising!

Sounds like a road trip of a lifetime. I'm envious. And you can always get another wedge when you get back for sometime later. There will still be a few available for sale.
