The trials of buying a banger

We went to look at a car today, at least we tried to. Unfortunately, we ended up spending an hour on the hard shoulder, waiting for a breakdown recovery.

Its ironic that we can't even make it to Reading, never mind Lisbon!

Let's start at the very beginning...

Once upon a time, after stumbling on a website and thinking "that sounds cool", 4 drunk men decided to embark on a quest. That quest was the "Sucata Run" and it involved obtaining a vehicle worth no more than £250 and driving it to the most westerly point in Europe over the course of a weekend in August (all for charity of course).

sucata n. /SOO-CAH-TAH/ Portuguese; junk, rubbish, crap

This (first attempt at a) blog should hopefully document the trials and tribulations of the "Sultans of Bling"!
