A maths student at Edinburgh uni. I know absolutely nothing about the inner workings of a car, although I have changed a tyre once.
<p>This July, over 500 teams will embark on an adventure like none before. Through desert, over seas and through bandit country they will venture as they make their journey from London to Mongolia in comically unsuitable cars. At 10,000 miles in 4-8 weeks, this is the Mongol Rally! More information is available at http://www.mongolrally.com </p> <p>We are team 'Here Today, Mong Tomorrow', two mathematics students from the<br />University of Edinburgh. We were captivated by the spirit of adventure that surrounds the Mongol Rally and couldn't resist helping out with the great work that the Adventurists and charities like Mercy Corps do. We hope to raise as much money as possible to benefit the people in Mongolia.</p><p><a href="http://snipurl.com/kawrk">Download our publicity leaflet </a></p> <div id="twitter_div"> <h1 class="sidebar-title" style="font-weight: normal">Twitter Updates</h1> <ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul> <script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/mong2moro.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=5" type="text/javascript"></script> <a href="http://twitter.com/mong2moro" style="color: #3399cc; text-decoration: none">Follow us on twitter</a> </div>
