The Launch in Hyde Park






Who would have thought that 200 crappy cars covered in stickers and loaded with spare tires would be a popular tourist attraction in a city like London...but lo and behold thousands of people came out to see the bizarre additions to the roads of the world that would be taking part in the Mongol Rally 2007. Maybe they came out for the performance of traditional Mongolian throat singing by Britian's premier performer of that genre. Most ralliers hoped it would sound better in Mongolia. We met a woman from New York now living in London who was thrilled to see her former hometown represented (thanks for your donation!). We bought ice cream to benefit charity from a team actually taking an ice cream truck on the journey. Various supped up car horns scared the horses in the nearby riding ring. 200 cars similtaneously reved their tiny engines and took over the streets of London for a drive by of Buckingham palace as they headed on their epic roadtrip. The Queen was in. What a view she must have had from her window. Wonder what she was thinking...
