Night 0 - BABE Rally 2013

Well.....this takes some beating. We're starting our final $500 banger/beater rally in the US and tonight the teams are assembling in Harrisonburg Virginia. The rally is meant to start in New York but this year we couldn't really be bothered. Harrisonburg gets us closer to the action.

So anyway, we're waiting for cars to arrive this evening and this monster turns up!

Although it looks good, we're assured it's not. It's been a yard truck for the last 20 years dragging trailers around. They found the tool box back and shoved it on, and then gave it the Dakar racing truck type makeover, in theme with the rally.

It is burning 1 quart of oil every 15 miles.
