Blog Entry #3: Our Suzuki Passed Inspection (No, Really!)
With just **three months** to go until we embark on the Mongol Rally 2025, the impossible has happened: our mighty Suzuki Wagon R+ somehow passed its vehicle inspection.
We know what you're thinking: *"But didn't that tiny blue shoebox have like… ten serious faults last inspection?"* Yes, dear readers, it did. In fact, our inspection remarks read less like a checklist and more like a mechanic’s existential crisis. Issues included (but were definitely not limited to):
✅ Brakes (turns out you need those)
✅ Engine (it’s supposed to make those noises, right?)
✅ Lights (apparently darkness isn't an acceptable driving condition)
✅ Mounting of fuel tank (important if you don't want explosions, we've heard)
✅ Wheel alignment (straight-ish is close enough)
After many long nights spent in a garage with questionable tools, questionable skills, and even more questionable beverages, we’ve managed to bring our beloved Suzuki back from the brink. Against all odds—and basic mechanical logic—this brave little vehicle is officially deemed roadworthy.
Here’s photographic proof: three proud Swedes posing with what can only be described as the automotive equivalent of stubbornness.
Now the real fun begins. Can our Suzuki Wagon R+ handle 10,000 miles, endless potholes, and multiple international borders? Probably not. But that's exactly why we chose it.
Stay tuned as we prep the car with even more questionable modifications, totally necessary decals, and accessories that may or may not fall off at the first speed bump.
Only one way to find out if it will survive—by driving it straight towards Mongolia.
Adventure awaits! 🚗🔥

Different paths, one journey.
We are a close-knit group of friends from the West Midlands, brought together by our shared passion for cars and adventure. Our journey began at Harper Adams University (for three of us), where we instantly connected over our love for the open road. Over the years, we've embarked on incredible road trips, including the iconic North Coast 500. Between us we have completed the 3 Peak Challenge, Wild Atlantic Way and bumbling around New Zealand in a camper that drank too much oil for a Toyota. Now, we're ready to take on the ultimate challenge, an epic journey spanning two continents.
🚗 Meet the Chariot of Chaos: Our Renault Clio Grand Tourer for the Mongol Rally! 🚗
Behold! A car so unsuitable for a 10,000-mile adventure that it might actually be perfect. Powered by a 73-horsepower D4F engine, we may be lucky to see 60mph within three business days. Team No Half Sends is stuffing four people and all our worldly belongings into this glorious tin can and sending it hurtling across Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
💀 Will it break down? Almost certainly.
💨 Will we suffer? Absolutely.
🌍 Will it be the greatest adventure of our lives? No half sends – FULL SEND.
Proving out our tin can, we took it on a mighty fine dependability run from the top of Scotland to the depths of Cornwall. We almost survived, surprisingly the car did too.
