Banger Rallies 2017
Discussion
I've drawn up my shopping list, and narrowed it down to two cars. A pal is in the taxi business, and thinks he can sort me out with a black cab; a local car dealer has had a little blue Ford Streetka sat on his pitch for over a year at £1,495, so I might try a cheeky bid "'cos it's for chariddy, yeah?".
I have got a wild card tucked up my sleeve which will be my last resort. Unfortunately it's a 6 litre gas guzzler, and I'll be driving all the way from Liverpool...so the petrol bill won't come in cheap!!

Have you got a car yet? It's a flipping nightmare sourcing something for less than £500
I have been asked by a friend to help to liquidate a 2004 Rover 75 automatic diesel estate with a bit over 148k miles on the clock that could be had within budget. It is currently SORN though - MOT ran out in January and it hasn't moved since December (so it it would have to be picked up and driven straight to an pre-booked MOT otherwise trailered) but it drove fine at the time (and since on a battery maintainer so starts and runs) and has done less than 2500 miles since the last MOT. Bodywork is pretty poor, central locking doesn't work, smells of dog and the usual "they all do that sir" Rover 75 niggles apply. MOTed it ought to perfect for a banger rally if anyone was interested though... ?A group from my village and few pals doing Crumball rally, The Great Escape in September. Starts in Cologne and ends up at Munich Oktoberfest. We did one a few years ago and I said I wouldn't do another but the Oktoberfest always been on my bucket list...
We did the James Bond themed Thundercrawl in this;
