Norway-Africa

Yesterday we rolled the car out of the garage. Three Months of notorious hard work has come to an end. We are ready to go. The last two weeks have really been a struggle against time and been driving us close to the edge. It feels so good to be able to finally enjoy the last day before Christmas with our loved ones.

We start stage 0 in just 4 days. Keep stationed.

Please buy yourself a copy of Finansavisen today as there is a great article about us and the trip.The article is located on page 34-37. The pictures were taken earlier this fall, as we had just started to work on the car. After this I don’t think it as a bolt, screw or nut that hasn’t been touched or re-touched.Please buy and read!

We have the official start number. Easy to remember as 47 is the international dial code for Norway. Now it looks like a real rally car.

663 million people lack clean water in the world. 4,500 children die each day in Africa for lack of adequate sanitation. Millions of women and children have to walk hours to fetch water in buckets.
The Budapest-Bamako Rally helping by digging two wells in Gambia this year. Support our iniative and help us raise money to dig two wells so women and children can study and work instead of walking hours for clean water.

Support our rally team by donating as much as you can and be a part of this noble project. Wells will be dug in December in innagurated during the rally in January 2018.

The team that raises the most money wins this year’s coveted Mother Teresa Charity Award.

Hi all, please buy Finansavisen on Saturday. Someone told me that you’re in for a surprise! 🚙. Check out the Finansavisen  Motor page 34 and on wards.

Are we ready? No, not quite there yet although Stage0 of the rally is really approaching fast (27th of December). The car is still missing some vital parts and modifications: E.g an extra diesel tank.

This is going to be tight. In the meantime we have started packing gear and equipment. There is so much to pack, verify and repack.

The last couple of weeks have more or less been spent in the garage; fixing, repairing and verifying every single component. We have installed central differential, pulled apart the drive shafts, axles, gear-box suspension, brakes, hubs and pretty much everything else. Still some more work to be done, like replacing the alternator and install the extra diesel tank, pumps and hosing. Once done the car should be in good condition for the 9000+ km trip.

We have saved the best spots still on the car for a Platinum sponsor. Please contact us if you visualize your company logo on our race car. I can tell that you won’t regret that investment as we are soon to shine in the media spotlight.
