We Have a Car!!
by rich on 19th jan 2008
We've bought the car thats (hopefully) going to take us halfway around the world!
We found this brilliant 1988 Renault 4 in South London, she's got a 956cc engine and is LHD, so perfect for driving abroad.
Why did we choose a Renault 4 for the Mongol Rally 2008?
- They're very basic - so should in theory be easier to fix if anything goes wrong.
- Reliable - known to run and run and run, until the rear suspension drops off, which can happen.
- Go anywhere - high grond clearence and soft suspension made these a hit with French farmers.
- 66th coolest ever car on Top Gear
- Just look at it, it's brilliant!!.
