if you think you have a sticky pad then the best way is to spit on the disc after a drive, the more bubbles the hotter the disc, thus telling you which caliper is sticking

job done and dusted. Best adventure ever! See my blogs here: http://www.roadwarriors.org.uk

The image where it says Sponsor me is the link to our justgiving page. Here is the link in text buddy: http://www.justgiving.com/roadwarriors/ Thought i would mention that we are raising for "save the children" which helps kids worldwide, not in the UK :)

Donations are starting to come in now for my collection on Save the Children. If anyone wishes to donate a few bucks please use the link in my first post. Only had a couple of donation from LOCUS so far ;)

its the unmarked cop cars you have to watch in the UK.. they egg you on to drive faster.. had it happen to me once but spotted the uniform and quickly pulled back.

the search issue is now resolved.

I am going to be installing a different search soon which uses google. works very well on my other forums. Google usually spiders this forums latest posts every hour.

thanks to member killerFatty the the donation. Thanks buddy!

the inspiration came from that program... begged the wife to let me go, then she even let me sell her car to pay fo the vehicle, although i got her a new one on finance. 90 odd days left... truck is being prepped. sorting suspension out next

because he is spammer

hhahha so true

just a few bucks guys.. :)

We had a Hilux Surf.. a real nice one. But then the rally rules changed. The Mongolian Goverment have slapped strict rules this year and my surf would have to face $4000 import tax. However, commercial vehicle were exempt. I had to sell the surf, then spent many hours trawling the net.. for the budget i had i could not find another Toyota.. they really hold their price. But i wanted to stick to Jap stuff and the Isuzu was the only thing around that came in to my budget

Our Vehicle we will be donating in Mongolia for the orphan children. It is important that we help these kids who are basically left on the streets to fend for themselves due to poverty and violence. By donating our vehicles to CDPF (Children's' Development and Protection Fund) charity helps children get shelter, food, warmth from the siberian winters and a good chance of an education. We hope our 4x4 will raise $5000 for charity alone. This is funded out of our own pockets, no charity donation goes towards this vehicle. We are also raising money for Save the Children who are funding other charitable projects in Mongolia. Let me know what you think of this beauty (sorry its not a Lexus.. I tried ;) )

Thank you very much JENunnez for your kind donation.

due to time restraints we are not going through Iran. Iraq would also be somewhere i would avoid at the mo. :)

Mongolia has some of the toughest terrain out there. But also some of the most beautiful too.

A friend and I are involved in a charity car rally, facing 8,000 miles of pot-holes, strange borders and questionable food (and probably hygiene after 8k miles!) to raise money for Save The Children. We aim to raise a minimum of £1000 for Save The Children, plus we shall donate our vehicle to a charity called CDPF (Children's' Development and Protection Fund) when we reach Mongolia. The Mongolia Charity Rally is a pan-continental drive across five mountain ranges, two deserts and enough barren and pot-holed roads, paths and terrain to ensure we'll swagger like John Wayne for a good few weeks after we complete the drive. We will start in London on the 11th July and our final destination is the great Mongol capital of Mongolia, beyond the Gobi desert, Ulaanbaatar, several weeks later. We are aiming to complete the rally in 3 weeks or less. My team mate Dan is from Newcastle Australia, he will be flying to the UK to join up with me. We will be updating a daily blog and hope you guys will follow our adventures. Certainly going to be the toughest thing i have ever done. The rule is we need to raise some cash for our chosen charity before we can set off. I would be grateful if members here could donate a few bucks to our Just Giving Page, in return I will get some nice LOC club stickers made up (some chrome ones are sweet?) and I will send them out to you before we leave as a thank you gesture. Also I will add you to the clubs thank you list. They accept paypal too ;) Makes life easier Our website is almost complete, I have a few things to add still http://www.roadwarriors.org.uk I hope our LOC community spirit may be able to help for a few bucks. cheers guys. Steve Here are a few bits about the trip, here is a funny video i found on the Mongol Rally We wont be in a convoy like the following, we are on our own. Not a place to break down in no mans land.
