Mongol Rally

i’ll be joining Max Adams, the ultimate adventurist, and chip off the old block

Jagshemash! 

Welcome Team Borat the Fiat.

I look at this team and say: Very nice!

The Team: This is Jakub—he is driver, navigator, and maker of mechanical repairs. With him is his fine fiancé of 11 years, Dominique. She is official Passenger Princess. She have genius idea to make this trip during Jakub’s most busiest work time. High five! Dominique promises to drive, but car is manual, so Jakub must sit next to her and change the gears for her. High technique!

The Sexy Car: They choose a 1982 Polish Fiat 125p. It is very old and guaranteed to explode or break into pieces in middle of nowhere. Jakub will fix it with bare hands and duct tape.

The Great Tribute: In Soviet times, this car was rally monster. They drive to honor their late, great friend Robert Mucha—the legendary driver who won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1972. He was the giant man who first taught Jakub how to drive and shift gears properly.

Why they call it Borat the Fiat? Because if I was a real person living in Kazakhstan today, this 1982 metal box is exactly the luxury super-car I would drive to make my neighbor, Nursultan Tulyakby, tight pants with jealousy.

Great success! Please follow our journey! 

Chenquieh!

I will be joining Max Adams, leader of the ALF, in Istanbul, and riding east. We both plan to run our businesses from the car while the other drives. Entrepreneurotic. 

Modifications mostly finished on our car, only issue is the steel wheels I bought have a smaller centre bore than we need. Anyone have any experience boring out wheels? 

Finally got a roof rack installed. Bolted straight through the roof. What could possibly go wrong?

ITA
Qualche ricambio giusto per non fermarci allo start!
ENG
A few spare parts just so we don't stop at the start!

Was this taken on a potato? No but my laptop is probably only a little bit better.

We are Tom and Ted, the first two members of team Genghis Khan't. We currently don't have a car but we have our eyes on a nice 2005 Daihatsu Charade, so hopefully that will do. We also have no idea what we're going to do after Türkiye (or before tbh) so if anyone has a compelling reason to go to Iran, Dagestan or across the Caspian we're open to ideas. 

We will be assembling the rest of the team soon, stay posted. Until then nice to meet you all and good luck with the preparations.
