Mongol Rally 2017 — Team Coddiwomples

24 July, 2017

The Mongol Rally is underway again for 2017. The now legendary rally from the UK to Mongolia with no route, no plan and, generally, no clue.

We caught up with one of the Kiwi teams competing in this year’s event prior to their departure. The Coddiwomples are a ragtag bunch of fellas with not the most extensive mechanical background.

You’ll find the interview with Seb from the team below. For more on the Coddiwomples and their chosen charity, The Graeme Dingle Foundation, check their website coddiwomples.com

Good luck, boys!

This could be good news for restoring cars and bikes – but we must be quick!

Our parliament is currently considering a member’s Bill, drawn by ballot, called the ‘Right to Repair’ Bill.
It’s due to go a Select Committee for consideration, and we can make submissions ie say what we think of it, before 3 April this year. It’s important because it will make spare parts and information for doing repairs far more readily available and this should slow the rate at which appliances, toys and so on get sent to landfill.

1959 Sunbeam Alpine: A road trip with Lady P

The romance of the road
The South Island begins to reveal its unbelievable beauty and clarity of light as we weave and bend past mountain peaks, blue flowing rivers, and bright green forests. Today, while the cutlery wheel continues to chime, there are no morbid rattles, and we are still alive. The road moves beneath us and I start to really understand what a road trip is all about: the warm analogue hum of the engine, the sensory overload of wind and sun, the dreamy pageant of shapes and colour that glides by like a movie set, not a cloud in the sky.
