Hello

I said I'd Write a blog on the Rally so I will. I suppose now is as good a time as any.

Team Ardnamongolia is so named because we're a terribly unimaginative bunch and couldn't think of anything more inspired than combining the starting point with the finish point (Ardnaulan-ude didn't have the same ring). We're from a peninsula on the west coast of Scotland that just happens to be the most westerly point on the British mainland, it's called Ardnamurchan. We're going to Mongolia. Creative genius.

The team consists of three members. Alexander Macgregor, Adrian Stace and myself, Jack Macmillan. One property developer, one computer programmer and one commercial diver. None of us have any vested interest in cars or any automotive knowledge whatsoever. Not one jot. So naturally, driving half way round the world in a fairly old, incredibly unsuitable car was our first choice of Summer Holiday.

The car, Or the 'Timerous Beastie', as it shall be henceforth known, is a Hyundai Getz. Its been expertly restored by the boys at Loch Shiel Garage. It's red. Thats all I've got to say about that.

I think a short team introduction is more than enough to be getting on with until we actually have something to write about.
