Road Trip Stag Do - Challenge Ideas Needed!
Discussion
Hi All,
I'm organising a mini banger challenge/road trip/drag racing thing for a mates Stag do in the Middle of October.
Two teams of four have each bought a car for £300(ish) and we're going on a two day road trip through Wales finsihing off at Shakespeare County Raceway for a Run-What-Ya-Brung day
I'm running support in my old Land Cruiser full of tools/jacks/gaffer tape!
I'm looking for ideas for challenges to be completed along the route (ideally stuff thats stupid enough to be fun, but not stupid enough to get anyone arrested!)
Any ideas?
Also, does anyone know an off-road but surfaced area in Wales we could do some car-tug-of-war, doughnut challenges etc without A, pissing anyone off B, getting arrested (again)?
Thanks in advance for any input!
Cheers,
Dan

There's loads of fun stuff you can do. Scavenger hunts, where you give them a list of stuff to get... Limited only by your imagination... Big bag of horse manure should leave a nice aroma, the acquisition of secondhand ladies pants is traditional on stag dos, so on and so forth.
An economy section, where they have to use a minimum of fuel on an A to B run.
How about a timed section where the one who goes furthest between two set points by a set time wins? If you map it right then breaking the limit will be impossible.
Give them a set amount of fuel and see who gets furthest?
Give them a set amount of money and time to pimp their rides and let some random passing members of he public judge the winners?
No idea if any of these ideas are any good, but they are off the top my head thoughts.

Do the complete opposite, see how much fuel they can use over a set time and the one whos used the most wins!
The scavenger hunt sounds good though....
Oh, and if you are finishing at Long Marston and fancy something a bit less strenuous but still car-related then the Phoenix scalextric track is only 30 mins away in Studley. http://www.phoenixscalextriccircuit.com/
What cars have you got???
Saab 9000 2.0 and a 4-litre Jag XJ6
Where in Wales? It's a big place
Current plan is to start off on the south coast, head up through the black mountains and up to the evo traingle before going back through North Wales towards Wawrickshire, though I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows any must-visit places or must-drive roads
First overnight stop will be in mid-Wales somewhere - need some suggestions for a location for this too!
Scavenger Hunt is a good idea, I also like the idea of getting them to decorate each other's cars, especially as the team with the Saab have got some crazy idea about being able to sell it on after the event! :-p

By Black Mountains, I assume you mean the Brecon Beacons? If so, thats a great road!!
If going to North Wales, you must decorate your car with "South Better than North" or "All North Walians are Scousers" that should get you some looks See how long before a farmer sets his savage sheep on you

- or local carboot sale, local open air market etc.
(I'm not even sure modern engine blocks can get hot enough or be accessed through the plastic covers)
Which team can do an oil change the quickest?
Top off the tank at the start, top off at the end.
Count the number of litres of fuel used.
Each teams need to drink the equivalent in beer/vodka/cheap wine.
Each team hides a stinky rotten fish in the others car. The first team to find it can remove it. The other team has to leave it there.
Buy something cheap from ikea. Each team has to build the thing using only the tools in the car.
If you can find some private land do a cone race with a blindfolded driver and the others shouting directions.
If you do some sort of competition you could hire a caterham as a prize. pretty cheap fun
