Ok so Im starting to bore people with the same old stories, Kazakhstan this and Mongolia that. Me thinks its time to update our portfolio of random travel craziness and fortunately my old travel amigo agrees.

So next winter RD and myself are hoping to do the Rickshaw Run and of course we would welcome some badcolonies company along the way.

All those interested can check out the website: www.rickshawrun.com

The Rally registration opens on Monday 18th Jan.

A British Motoring magazine has been asking its writers to nominate a car that defines the last decade. Names banded about include: the new Mini, Rolls Royce Phantom, Audi R8 and even the Ford Fiesta MK VI.

I thought the Nissan GT-R could be in with a shout - the ultimate expression of Japanese dominance for the fraction of a price of a Porsche. Technology that seemingly overcomes the Laws of Physics...

Or how about the Ford F-150 or any number of shoddy GM products? Toyota Prius? Cadillac Escalade?

The Lamborghini Gallardo? Not even the Italians can get away with making unreliable cars nowadays.

And for the coming decade? Anything by Tata, Geely, Roewe, SAC.

Your thoughts please.

So snowboarding has finally merged with freestyle skiing. It is pretty amazing though.
