Pintpullers For Dakar 2005		Plymouth-Dakar 2005 / Introduction

Date:	24.May.2004
Location:	Baden

TEAM PINTPULLERS IS IN! It's another dream coming true! We wanted to take part in the PDC from the first time on we found their web page in late 2002. This was just a few days before the crowd left Plymouth for the first challenge, the PDC03. Now, nearly 2 years later, we are one of the lucky 150 accepted applicants (out of aprox 550) of the Plymouth Dakar Challenge 2005! The Idea Drive a vehilce from Plymouth to Dakar, sell it in the Gambia, donate the money for charity and fly home. The Rules 1. You shouldn't spend more than £100 (GBP) on the vehicle 2. You shouldn't spend more than £15 to prepare the vehicle 3. No help from the organisation. All teams are on their own (formal rule) 4. You will hand over your vehilce to the organistaion when arrived 5. Left hand driven vehilces only 6. (Unofficial) Rules are made to be broken... Except Rules 4 and 5 - Julian Nowill, PDC initiator And yes, it will be on a bike. Or more precise: A bike and a car. The plan is to ride down to Dakar on a 125cc or simillar, accompanied by a supporting car. The simple reason why not just one or two bikes is that you cannot buy a bike at £100 capable to do a journey of this type unsupported. Or at least not until someone did it ;-) As far as we know it's going to be the first time someone is doing the PDC on a bike :-) The Team Name: Team Pintpullers Chief Sweating Back: Andy Chief Hurting Bottom: Kudi Chief Bike Mechanics (Home Based): Göbi Chief Car Mechanics (Home Based): Searching... Might be YOU? Chief Communications and Informatics (Home Based): Searching... Might be YOU? When We're currently in group No 1, leaving on 17th of Dezember 2004 and supposed to arrive in The Gambia aprox 3 week later Visit the The Plymouth Dakar Challenge Homepage for more informations on the event. More info on the team, vehicles and stage of preparations should be on www.pintpullers.com. If not now come back soon and it might be there... See you in Africa, Christmas 04! Kudi

Mercedes Benz 208		Plymouth-Dakar 2005 / Introduction

Date:	14.Jul.2004
Location:	Baden

We have a Car! We bought a car at an auction, it's a 1981 Mercedes Benz 208 transporter. It went for 510 swiss bugs, little to expensive but it was not possible to find ANY car for 100 quid here in Switzerland... and we realy tried! The 208 seems to be quite ok, minor damages and a bit of rust, 110kkm on the speedometer (???), 2.5 liter petrol engine. More info to come as soon we have it (and we found a place to store and repair it...).
