Blog Entry #1: Meet Team Firetire – Three Swedes, One Scrap Car, and a Lot of Banter
Welcome to the official blog of Team FireTire, where we’ll document our wild ride through the Mongol Rally 2025! Who are we? Glad you asked.
We’re three Swedes with a shared love for scrap cars, beer, mead, and the thrill of tackling impossible challenges. You probably don't know us already from our Twitch channel, FireTireSWE, where we tinker with engines, explain car mechanics, and engage in endless banter. Now, we’re taking that same energy on the road – from Europe to Mongolia – in the most questionable car we could find.
Meet the Crew:
- Simon (Driver, Mechanic, Chief Mead Enthusiast): The hands-on problem solver who can fix anything with duct tape and optimism. Simon is the steady hand behind the wheel and the voice of reason (most of the time).
- Linus (Navigator, Beer Specialist): With an internal compass and a thirst for adventure, they’ll keep us on the right track (and make sure the fridge is stocked with beer).
- Quincy (Moral Support, Banter Extraordinaire): Equal parts cheerleader and chaos generator, they’ll ensure there’s never a dull moment on the road.
Our vehicle? Let’s just say it’s seen better days. It’s a beat-up scrap car we’ve lovingly decorated with a Viking helmet on the roof and stickers that might (hopefully) hold the doors together. It’s far from rally-ready, but that’s part of the charm.
The Mongol Rally isn’t just about getting to Mongolia; it’s about the stories, breakdowns, and adventures along the way. From flat tires to questionable border crossings, we’re here for all of it – and we’ll be sharing every moment right here on this blog.
Stay tuned for updates, mishaps, and maybe even some car repair tips as we embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Let’s hit the road!
