The "how far will the car get" post



Well as suggested a post for how far will the car get. Hopefully all the way to Ulaan Baatar (Mongolia) but for a list of destinations between Sheffield and there click on the Google map link.

So rather than answers on a postcard just add a comment.

Please sponsor me.

As I'm travelling overland to China and I'm going to be using several hundred pounds in fuel and a substantial amount of rubber and donating my car in Mongolia I feel its only correct to try and give something back and to offset all those emissions etc, so I have set up a web page at http://www.justgiving.com/jamesmash which allows people to donate money to a selected charity. I have chosen to raise money for Cambridge Mongolian Disaster Appeal, (CAMDA) who among other things help the poorest in Mongolia.
Please visit their web site even if you don't donate any money, it's truly humbling. http://www.camda.org.uk/

Thanks and i hope you enjoy reading about how truly stupid I am. Please feel free to leave a few comments or words of wisdom to help me on my way.
