The MORE Amazing Race
Will plucky Pink Panda pair make it to Mongolia?
Two Europeans TRY to drive across Europe & Asia in the Mongol Rally, an awesome race across two continents.
The entire length of the race is 8,000 miles (how many kilometers is that?) from London, England to Ulaan Baatar, uhh...Mongolia I guess....
Even better still: "Any car that has more than 1000cc (One Litre) is strictly forbidden as over-powered, and considered a risk to your ability to have fun."
If your car's eligibility is in question, you can refer to the Hall of Crapness: Where crapness is saluted. Some entries for eligible models:
Citroen AX: "Masterfully bad"
Fiat Panda 4x4: "Nothing more than a tin can on four wheels."
Kia Pride: "Korean lawnmower in a 'luxurious' waterproofed box."
Why is there not yet a reality TV show about this? I AM SO MAD!

Looks like 2006 is a particularly auspicious year for Mongolia…
"Mongolians this year have organized a round of horse races and other celebrations to commemorate the 800th anniversary of what they regard as Genghis Khan's first great achievement: unification of Mongolian tribes into a single state." I guess this is like a Mongolian Thanksgiving, except instead of turkey, perhaps they serve yak fat. Mmmm
