A few weeks ago, there were some problems at the Mongolian border. Because a lot of teams from the previous years have left their broken cars somewhere in Mongolia, all the Mongol Rally teams now had to pay a $6000 deposit upon entering Mongolia. This deposit was for the Mongol Rally teams only. The authorities managed to suspend this rule just a week before we entered, but the organization warned us that we needed to be very friendly and patient because they would otherwise reintroduce the rule.

The past few weeks we searched a lot for a decent car to drive the rally. But to find one, we first needed to consider a couple of rules, one of it is to drive a car that is no more than 1200cc. Another one is, that it needs to be an small, shit car to make the rally tougher.
Eventually, we found one, bought him and now we can call it ours.
