TAKING A TERIOS TO MONGOLIA!! MONGOL RALLY 2009!!

Forum: 

Hi All,

We are team Moustache-to-Mongolia and we're doing the MONGOL RALLY 2009! We have so far raised £1600 for charity (Christina Nobles Children's Foundation and Hope and Homes for Children), and we hope to top £2000 by the time we leave from Goodwood on July 18th

We are currently preparing our 2000 Terios 1.3 for the 10,000 mile trip to Ulan Bataar; there's a couple of things we love to hear from people about if they have any information on the following:

1. PETROL TANK GUARD, does anyone make one? had anyone made one in the past? What's the best way to mount one? We are scratching our heads about this at the moment...

2. SPARE RIMS, we need some spare rims (we will be fitting desert tyres to them), we dont mind if they dont match the ones on our car (in the middle of the Gobi Desert it will only be us looking at it!), steel or alloy it doesn't matter! Does anyone have any they would like to donate to our chartiable cause? or know where we can get some cheapies?

3. WISDOM & GUIDANCE, Does anyone have any nuggets of wisdom about doing something like this in a Terios? There must be loads of things we've overlooked...

We'd love to hear from you, please get in touch, thank you for reading this.

Best regards,
Dom Nokes
