it's actually really rather difficult. perhaps we need to look at indian ebay to get this off the ground.

how much is a hindustan ambassador or tata nano?

[oilydan]

You can have on in 'Farce India' colours.

What about full PH livery. 'Weed Matters'

Now that does like fun, but could be easy to go daft with the custom options

This.

Insane.

I'm in. When do we start?

[oilydan]

When they post the dates for the next cross-India race.

I expect the race would be around next August...

Unless we just do our own 'epic journey' and buy cars/drive to Cambodia/fly home. We could do that at Easter?

i think a maruti each would make for a cheap and amusing journey and if one breaks we cannibalise it for parts and leave it behind. also how do we dispose of them at the end, need to make sure the destination country has no weird laws about giving them away etc.

distance surely has to come from how long you reckon you want to drive for each day. from driving in sri lanka and indonesia, 50km/hr will be a maximum comfortable distance.

wouldn't mind india as a start point but laos, cambodia, vietnam appeal.

[oilydan]

How about following the TG route from Southern Vietnam to the North?

On motorbikes. I fancy a Jap import CBR or VFR 400

works for me. i am brilliant at falling off motorbikes so i would like either a proper mod style scooter, a trials bike or a quad.

i think there's a pher who lives in vietnam we could ask re: sourcing wheels.
