The third challenge - will it still move with their combined weight inside? Yes

The fourth challenge - will it make it to Belfast for the start of the Scally Rally? Yes

The fifth challenge - 1,000 miles around the most challenging roads that Ireland has to offer.  Err No - Completed the first three days and the first mountain pass on Day 4 before going up in flames in Dingle.  Crossed the line in Red October III.
