Wacky Rally - Barmy to Barcelona
Discussion
Hi Guys, just thought I would share my excitement that in a weeks time (7th July) myself and a mate will just be getting off the boat in Calais and about to begin this years Wacky Rally - Barmy to Barcelona! (in aid of Cancer research)
For those who don't know, this is a gumball rally on the cheap.
Buy a car for less than £350 and "decorate" it in a theme of your choice before joining like minded individuals to drive from Lille to Barcelona in four days.
Naturally enough, its not a direct route! We will be taking in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, (maybe a bit of Germany), Switzerland, Italy, France (again) and Spain - if all goes well. There should be some high jinks and spectacular roads along the way - with partying every night too.
The car will be disposed of in Barcelona and then four days of sightseeing before flying back to Blighty! Can't wait.
Anyhow, below are a few pics of the car from start to finish. (we tried hand painting it, which didn't work out, so resorted to a quick blow over)
Day 1 - buy car!
Decide to add a "power bulge" and paint car by hand. Paint reacts and makes a god awful mess. Have to remove paint :-(
Blow over begins - can you tell what it is yet?
This will give it away...
A few stickers added (we are team number 499)
More stickers, a light bar and bull bar (made from foam)
Thanks for looking. Fingers crossed we'll make it!!
