Somebody thinks we'll make it

Incredible but true - there are people out there who think we're going to make it to Ulaanbataar and have decided to throw their weight behind us in the form of sponsorship. At the moment we don't know whether it was our top notch sales pitch or pity which persuaded them to join in but I'll hazard a guess its the latter. So without further ado we have pleasure in announcing that mongogolia are now supported by these fine people:

Proteus Market Research
Horiba Instruments

Additionally the chaps at NGK have sent us some spark plugs and natty threads for the trip, cue Man At C&A action shot. Plus we've even been given a bicycle just in case it all goes wrong, whilst this shows slightly less confidence in our abilities to fix things at least we get the chance to keep fit.

Next time on the mongogolia blog - beige on stilts, 2CV racing, weddings and more...

Names have been changed to protect the innocent

The more observant among you will have noticed a couple of things, firstly our team name has changed a little bit and if you're reading this you've found our all new official website.

The name change goes right back to the start of this escapade when during the excitement that was the sign up I added the word team. Cue much discussion from slightly peeved team-mate and it was decided we would drop the team bit, and lo 2 months later its gone. More importantly we've got our website up and running and its got more stuff about us, the rally and our sponsors than our pages at the Mongol Rally site so we'll be posting to here from now on.

We've got loads of exciting developments to let you all know about including getting some major sponsors on board, what's been happening to beige (mostly involves grinders to be honest), a new team member, PR for beginners, and more importantly the up and coming first Mongol Rally meet and greet. So I guess we'd better get busy
