    I haven't signed up yet and I'm not worried about not getting in!

    Let me know if you do, be good to know a few people that are going... we'll have to ensure we've all got some nice cheap CB radios for the journey!!
    Cool I'll let you know as soon as we've paid our entry fee.

    I've got 4 people interested so far and am looking for a MPV or van to turn into a party bus!

    Am thinking a mix of hammocks and floor to sleep people and a very loud stereo!

    Four lads here took an old LDV mini-bus to Spain a couple of years ago. Stripped the seats out and fitted Granda leather items, added an extra battery TV and fridge, then carpeted the back and slept in sleeping bags.
    Only problem was it wouldn't get above 55 and if you used full throttle it'd overheat - not necessarily an issue when the second half of the throttle travel just generated more noise for no discernable increase in forward momentum!

    Brilliant!!

    Though remember you'll be going over some fantastic roads, being in a van obviously won't let you get 'the best' out of them (nore will a £100 car mind!) but I can see the appeal in a van, I thought about one myself actually

    Where abouts do you live? If you're local we might be able to help each other out or at least meet up for a beer before we begin the adventure
