Banger Rallies Jonathan | 03 Dec 2006
S2N07
There’s a line of thought that suggests you should never do the same thing twice. I’ve just become an exception to that by signing up for a place on Staples2Naples 2007 after this year’s event saw me piloting (I think that’s the word) a 30-year old Allegro across Europe. It wasn’t the quickest or most comfortable way to travel but its uniqueness made it a great deal of fun everywhere it went even though I was secretly green with envy at my friend Simon’s £100 Daimler!
So I’m having a second run at it. There are still nine months to the rally itself and my inclination is to go for something a bit more powerful this time (Maestro/Montego EFi or an 827) and perhaps I’ll even do something a bit more creative with it.
I’m not planning on driving the distance alone so if it sounds up your street, drop me a line. Here’s one teams take on what happened in 2006.
