I'd like to do it in a truck with Robby Gordon.

Where do I sign up ?

I would definately like to do the paris-dakar or at least the baja. Who knows I tinker with off road rails. I'm building my own long travel A-arm front suspension at the moment. Might eventually build a car for off road racing.

Whatever floats your boat. I'll take Paris Hilton.

Ok I'll agree with you on that one but I was thinking more pure adrenaline and fear.

I want my little buddy Miles as my co-pilot.

GTF outa my way...

Paul

Don't know about doing it "in a truck with Robbie Gordon", but I'd do it in a VW diesel with Jutta Kleinschmidt...anytime!

Always thought Dakar was cool. It's right up there with other classics like the 24H of LeMans, Rally of Monte Carlo etc.

First two pics are as dutch as it gets... Dutch truck (DAF), dutch team (De Rooy, who is a Dakar veteran, he's been participating for as long as I can remember there was a Dakar)

cheers,

Jeroen

I posted those just for you Jeroen

Paul

Yeah, I know... can't stop thinking of me, can you?


cheers,

Jeroen

tracks, good sport . I have watched the Paris/Dakar ever since they started showing them on Speed. One thing I have always wondered is, what do they do with all of these vehicles when the race is over?? I don't think I have seen one on ebay , yet.

Here's a picture of Jereon driving to work.

As a former motorcycle rider I really admire the bikers in this race. THESE GUYS ARE NUTS and this is where some of them end up. Forget the big truck thing, I wouldn't want to pull one out of the sand, but...... go flying off the dunes @ 100mph and land in beach sand, that takes a "special" kind of driver. (special ed that is)

Paul, I'll navigate, and make the martinis, but I have an idea... 2 remote cameras are lighter than my fat ass... so I was thinking..

No way Miles, you're ass is coming along.
We'll use a sattalite internet connection and post on the board as we go.

Paul

hahahaha! Post about 914s the whole time.. silly...

I'm in.

The first two pictures look like the worlds fastest trash truck. The pic of the Ford doesn't look like anything I've ever seen in any of my neighbors driveways.

Is there map of the route?
I'll meet you in Paris then wish you good luck and stay there waiting until you come back drinking coffee and stickbread.
Maybe I'll save you some too.

The Carrera Panamericana Mexico is #1 in my book.

Craig....I like the avatar.....is that sign available anywhere? Would look good in the shop.....

I'd do it in a heartbeat. I just don't have the $$$ to put a car together etc.. Anyone got an imprezza wrc car to donate??
