An early setback!

This wasn't supposed to happen, cars are meant to break on the rally, not before it! Our trusty Fiat Panda has met with an early demise, or maybe it was just psychic and knew what we were planning to put it though. Anyway a new car was required and pictured left here it is (bonnet up of course to instil that extra bit of confidence!). We will now be driving to Mongolia in a Vauxhall Astra Estate, luxury or what!! It even has a 1.3litre engine for some extra power, paid for by the fact we received so much money in donations that we could actually afford the penalties charged for going over the 1 litre limit. Cheers everyone!!
Means our team name is now a little redundant though. I wanted to change it to "Team CatAstraphe" but Nic not really having a sense of humour advanced enough to deal with puns refused blankly hence we will keep our current name in loving memory of our poor little deceased Panda.
