The original plan involved Gum Ball Rally, a 911, serious parties and misbehavior around Europe.  Instead, we ended up with DumbBall Rally, slightly different in format.

- cars must cost less than £400
- cars & occupants must be themed / pimped for the amusement of fellow DumbBallers and places through which you pass
- collect some money for charity to feel slight less stupid

So, a couple of eBay hours later we had beaten our budget and bought a BMW 730i beauty for £250.  A little more time spent clicking and we'd got the airhorns and stickers to match.  Just need to track down that smell inside the car - something appears to have died under the drivers seat....

23rd May - 1st June  we'll be driving 3,000 miles.  London> Belgium> Luxembourg> Germany> Austria> Slovenia> Croatia> Bonsnia> Montenegro> Albania> Macedonia> Greece and finally Corfu (seriously upmarket eh?!)

We've done a couple of hundred test miles, aside from 8mpg The General Lee is going to be fine.  Probably.

Anyhow, that's the background, more at www.dumball.org, please give WarChild some money & we'll update you with pictures of broken down BMW's along the way.
