    This sounds pretty awesome. If i had the money i would love to buy a car an do something like this... Alas, i do not. I'll just stick to cycling.

    I just sent you a pm btw, about possibly doing the webby for you.

    when i say kitted up its all vauxhall specials from there manufacturers catalog.. like stainless steel grills as apposed to a badged vauxhall grill..

    its called Irmscher... (read from catalogue)

    A black cross hatch grille with aluminium upper and laser-etched 'Irmscher' logo, rear roof spoiler, front bumper spoiler, stainless steel door handle covers, aluminium-effect fuel flap cover and an 'Irmscher' chrome-effect badge. K+N Induction Kit, dropped onto vauxhall 19" alloy wheels. Has standard exhaust.. but considering the vauxhall sports exhaust as well..... or even a powerflow one.
    id have said its more tasteful for a 15 grand basic car

    Ah, cool. I like Irmscher stuff. I really like the Vauxhall sports exhaust I have driven an Astra with one I think it was a 2.0 turbo. Was quick! Sounds quite nice particulary the 19" wheels. 15 grand isn't bad really.

    Do you think your actually going to come? That would be cool, once I get the website & forum sorted get yourself on there and hang around a bit.

    Thanks for PM will. I have the website sorted now thanks!

    Cool.
    But seriously I would advise you working on the principal it will cost £3,000 per car with two sharing, so £1,500 each.

    I would suggest maybe 3 per car perhaps? Or if your happy paying £1,500 do 2 per car.
    I am doing it with me and a co-pilot. I really like doing this kind of thing so I don't mind paying stupid amounts of money to drive around europe and russia.. Just thought does Belarus count as Europe or Russia?

    I'm probably going to go through a Ukraine border aswell, that'll look cool in the passport. I think I go through over 20 borders now!

    Why do it in just 14 days? You'll get to do nothing other than drive, sleep and get cold...

    It's a target to set. Yeah it will mostly be driving all day but stopping at various places along the way. Every stage is roughly 400 - 500 miles which should take accounting for the weather. If I can average 55mph I can do it in 8 hours. But with stops my average speed will decrease.
