| Why have you signed up for the rally? |
Because I thought that all SAAB’s should visit Sweden…kinda like a spiritual pilgrimage…. |
Two charities that deserve the effort and I miss driving. |
| What are you most looking forward to? |
(a) Sitting on Santa’s knee eating a Big Mac from the most Northern MacDonalds in the world… (b) dodging the Russian: Police/Army/Mafia/random invasions of neighbouring countries… |
1.Seeing the Northern Lights 2.Providing the evidence that Ladies and driving are in fact the perfect combination |
| If you were a biscuit, which would you be? |
Something fair trade…a bit self righteous but tastes delicious especially dunked in coffee. |
Those rich tea ones with a frill round the edge - the classic with a little bit extra. |
… only when they’re not reversing Luci… then theres all hell to pay!
Is that Cherie blair’s signature I can see on your bonnet?!
I look forward to the evidence you gather on the ladies/driving combo!
Rich Tea biscuits with a large pot of nuteller would be yum yum.
Best of luck on the trip, when do you leave?
“Providing the evidence that Ladies and driving are in fact the perfect combination”…….
….obviously there’s no truth in the rumour that you picked the Saab ’cause of the big bumpers - to help you with ‘parking skills’?
Hello Gareth & Luci
Here are a few helpful ideas I’ve found on Wikipedia, taken from the entry for Sir John Franklin, a 19th century Arctic explorer:
1819: Franklin’s First expedition
Main article: Coppermine Expedition of 1819–1822
Franklin was chosen to lead an expedition overland from Hudson Bay to chart the north coast of Canada eastwards from the mouth of the Coppermine River.[1] Between 1819 and 1822 he lost 11 of the 20 men in his party. Most died of starvation, but there was also at least one murder and suggestions of cannibalism. The survivors were forced to eat lichen and even attempted to eat their own leather boots. This gained Franklin the nickname of “the man who ate his boots”.[2]
Sounds like fun. Perhaps we could turn this into a competition along the lines of ‘I think Gareth will be remembered as the man who ate …….’ Any suggestions?
Hope you guys had a safe trip, sorry i accidently took your pen.-kid from Kursk
Good luck guys……..Lost of SPAR shops to visit on the way?
