Looking at buying a citroen Saxo 1.1...

[jeanloup]

And it is done, we bought the car. I now own a 1.1 Citroen Saxo. Never thought in my life that I will one day own one of these. But hey, **** happens...

Jeanloup, is Tajikistan on the map? :D

[jeanloup]

I wish, but no, we will keep north route as we tried to arrive the first. So Khazakstan for sure but we won t go more in South ;-)

[jeanloup]

But read few blogs, some teams are really crazy in their routes.

[SHkater]

Haha alright man, just asking because I'm currently here so I thought I could offer you help in case you would be passing through here. Good luck buddy :)

[jeanloup]

We never know, we might choose to follow some other team and come there. But if that is the case, for sure i will let you know.

Bullet proof car. Good engine, underpowered yes but it'll last.

Any modifications in regards of safety and reliability for the trip?

[jeanloup]

New suspensions set, stronger than stock one. Protection plate underneath the car, foof rack and additional battery. Not too much neither cause we have to give away the car at the end of the day, so don't want to spend too much money on it.

[Bruno]

have you considered LSD?

[ahmad.alkhalil]

I would think that is crucial no?

Mongol Rally update:

- Thanks to DAS, I will spend the day in the workshop to learn how to fix a car, it could be useful to know a bit of mechanic while stuck in middle of Kazakhstan.

- Found raising update: As you know we have made a Team T-shirt for sale and all profits will go to our team and raise enough money to donate to the lotus children foundation. However, we changed a bit that idea. What we are proposing now is for everyone to spent 200 AED and we will donate our team T-shirt along the way to some children. However donate that Money to our team will have his name mentioned on the back of the T-shirt and we will post it on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-I...36027666487666 . By the way, please like our page, it does help when we are looking out for sponsors.

- I was trying to Attached the PDF we made for sponsoring, but couldn't do it, so if anyone wants to have a look at it, please e-mail me: jeanl@trad-impex.com
