I had envisioned this for over a year. A regular car with stickers all over it as if were NASCAR. There’s something very liberating about doing what you are not supposed to do. Plastering the perfectly good little car in stickers is normally against the rules, but in the Mongol Rally it’s expected!
In the middle of Central London, we were vandalizing our little Mongol Rally car and only one person who walked by actually asked what we were doing. You gotta love big cities where everyone minds their own business.

However, when one of the men who parked near us was paying his parking meter, he looked at us in a questioning manner; I said to him, “We’ll be over to do your car next.” I don’t think he was too amused.
We also gave packing a test run, and that wasn’t nearly as fun as placing the stickers on the car. In fact, it was rather stressful. The bags fit in like a complex jigsaw puzzle with not one extra room of space. It doesn’t bode well for our long journey, but we’ll get through it somehow!
Thanks to all of our sponsors, we had fun placing all of your stickers!

You missed a spot.
🙂
Looks great fun. You must be starting to feel the whole event is near to happening.
LOVE IT! 🙂
I cant wait to follow along on your journey and live vicariously through you guys! So excited for you!
There’s not a lot of room in that car, is there? Should be an interesting drive with 4 people!
I know this article is old, but how did you guys meet? Did you know each other before being travel bloggers or just be networking?
Anyways I will be crawling through your archives as I will go to Mongolia soon :).
We didn’t know each other very well before at all. We knew each other digitally and professionally. And the people dynamics during the rally was definitely the hardest part! But we made it!
