More thanks

Thanks to Lookfly for supplying the team with some snazzy looking and feeling base layers to keep us going through the Rally. We'll let you know how they stand up to the elements on the journey.

Thanks to Adam at work for helping a mechanically minded fool understand wiring diagrams and try and figure out why the rear windscreen heater still isn't working.

Thanks to Alex from work for lending me tools to fix the door locks. Finally that's on the cards for tomorrow, we can drive without the fear of being locked in our own car.

A quick trip to poundland has also furnished us with some light up fluffy dice, a thermometer and a pretty random looking rubbish blue strip light. The gauntlet has also been thrown down to the other teams in Team Reddog's challenge:

Team RedDog “Pimp Your Ride Challenge”

If Xixibit showed up on your front door ready to "pimp your ride" would he proceed to laugh at the rust-bucket you call a car, or would he give respect to your pimp wagon and want to take it out for a cruise?

Team RedDog challenges you to bling up your car with whatever you can in the time left before we head off to Europe. The more useless and impractical the better, especially if you can think of a spurious reason why the modification improves your vehicle!

An impartial judge will cast his/her eye over all the vehicles in Hyde Park before we head off on Saturday 11 April. The winners will get a special prize!
