And so it begins...

And so it begins. As all good tales do. This one in particular is about a couple of noble gents, keen to leave their little (skid)mark on the world.

It began with an idea, or a dream, if you will. To complete the Home2Rome Rally in a car that would befit any dude of the road. The one rule that would seemingly be their downfall? "You may spend no more than one hundred of the finest English pounds on your carriage". Our two intrepid 'heroes' trawled the interwebularnet and local auctioniniums, but to no avail, it seemed a lost cause. However, as everybody knows, good things happen to good people, and this is no exception. A friend of friend was able to furnish our explorers with a noble steed known as the 'Espace' or 'space' (using Babelfish).

So, the odyssey has started (or 'commencement' as it is in French). Modifications will ensue, plus about 1400 miles, but we hope you'll be with us every step of the way...
