Just want to say a massive thanks to all the crew and teams that made this week absolutely brilliant.

The Volvo has just got us back to Tamworth after a total of 3000miles, including a stunning three day camping excursion through France!

Cheers everyone.

The corolla is still going strong! At 70 its developed a shake all over, but we've created a solution.....drive at 80!

After staying another day in Barcelona and followed by a 13 hour drive to stay in the ghetto of Paris, we are on route home in England!

A thank you to Rob and the Wacky Rally team, and all the teams we met along the way!

P.S. Who the fuck is Graham?!

Kind Regards

Carl Arthur - Team Living The Dream

We're still on the flamin roads!

2011-07-14T03:52:00.000-07:00

Firstly a big thanks to the wacky rally organisers! What a great time we had. And to all the other great teams we met and had great times with!

Well we're on our way to Paris after taking in the bull run in Pamplona and a night in Bordeaux. The only problem has been that our limos exhaust wanted to stay in Spain! So now our car gets noticed even more! Especially by people a mile away!

We solved the problem! Ear plugs all round! Check the pic!

All the best

This is what happens when you’re running late for the boat and he didn’t offer to escort us along the way saying he would slow us down as he could only do 240kph and could do 260kph
