Well I've finally got round to setting up a blog. We should probably have done this earlier! Just a quick post to outline what is happening with Team Rusty Rhinos.
Team Rusty Rhinos is made of Alex and myself (Adam) and we will be competing with a 1985 Suzuki SJ 410, which we bought for £300 in February 2007.
And most importantly, I can confirm that we have been successful in entering the Mongol Rally 2007.
There are only 200 places in the Mongol Rally 2007, the first 50 were almost released on Wednesday 7th March, but the Mongol Rally servers went into meltdown, so they released 100 places on the 9th of March.
From about 6:50pm on the 7th of March, both Alex and I were frantically hitting F5, F5, F5 waiting for the places to be released. We probably contributed to the first meltdown on the 7th (Sorry, I'm sure we weren't the only ones!). At 7pm, places were indeed released and my browser claimed there were only 54 places left out of the 100, 46 places went in a split second! Anyway we secured a place, and apparently the 100 places were swallowed in under a minute!

About Me
- Rusty Rhinos
- We are Adam and Alex aka Team Rusty Rhinos.
We successfully completed The Mongol Rally 2007. Since then we've launched a number of our own charity rallies that have enabled us to explore some amazing places whilst raising essential funds for Mercy Corps.
Saharan Rally 2009 - Our second rally from London, heading off into the unknown, with the intention of eventually arriving again in London, the finish line, after having past the complete northern parts of the Sahara desert.
Moroccan Road Trip 2010 - Our 3rd rally, the Moroccan Road Trip 2010, was another breath-taking adventure that exceeded our expectations of adventure.
Moroccan Rally 2012 - Our 4th charity rally launched on the 8th September 2012 after an initial false start in June due to a fatal engine failure that took place in France. This rally saw us revisit Morocco and then head on into the disputed territory of the Western Sahara where we had to carefully avoid the leftover land mines from the Western Sahara conflict.
Beijing Rally 2014 - Our 5th charity rally launched on the 21st June. It was a truly epic adventure that has us drive from London to Beijing in just 27 days!
