The Premier Eastern-Bound European Banger Rally Returns!
[ 2008-10-12 ]
Welcome to the next chapter in European Banger Rallying! This time we're heading for Prague.
Four more wild days piloting old bits of rubbish towards an Eastern Europe scrap yard!
And what a journey it is...
Same rules as normal - car must cost less than £150 and be N reg or older.
Bonus points if you are in a Skoda. (Age rule does not apply to Skodas).
As we are going over passes, brakes and clutches are VERY important. A decent cooling system is a bonus.
CzechWrecks takes in the infamous Stelvio Pass. This isn't optional, this is mandatory (unless your car is in such bad shape you need to avoid it, of course).
The event also be spends an evening in the beautiful town of Interlaken in the heart of Switzerland.
CRX then heads through Switzerland crossing over the Simplonpass, and heads onto Bormio, Italy at the foot of Stelviopass ready for the climb to the top of the pass first thing the next morning.
The event continues on past the submerged town of Reiser and then on into Austria for a stopover in the heart of historic Salzberg.
The final day sees us crossing into the Czech Republic and heading to Prague over the back roads rather than the motorways, which is the better way of seeing the real Bohemian countryside.
