I've bin hankering for adventure and have been investigating american road trips etc when I thought...


Why not a GumBall style rally in the UK for everyone on the forum (and others Golf nutters)

Has this been tried before??  Have I started on the brandy too early??

Watchoo reckon?

I would be up for it. :grin:

I'd be up for it! Done WELL over 15,000 miles this last year and *touch wood* nothing major has gone wrong  :smiley: :smug: What's an extra 1700 among friends eh?  :grin:
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

id be up for a road trip, but not 3000 miles. it would require loads of time and money, and a reliable car. also id have to stck along in the barge boat, as i wont have a mk2 by then.

You would also need an anchor, and a spare rudder! :evil: :evil:

Forget about the age of the car. Just go and do it if it happens. If its organised properly, there should be lots of people around to bail you out if the car goes AWOL. :wink:

Just take a small toolbox and a few spares. ie Lamps, fuses, spark plugs, leads, electrical wire and crimps. Sorted.
