Latest Project: A Poor Man's Winter


Welcome to the bad colonies' website.This site is dedicated to the exploits of those individuals that find humor and adventure on the open road. You'll find detailed information on the 2006 Mongol Rally and extensive posts from our adventures. We are already planning the next catastrophe, which will be glorious. In the mean time we will continue to update this site with different gnarly tales of gnarly stuff.

What is the bad colonies motoring coooperative?

Way back in 2005, Dominic and I decided to participate in the 2006 Mongol Rally. We created the bad colonies motoring cooperative as catch all organization for like minded idiots that want to participate in a whole bunch of really stupid activities involving cars in the name of charity and free poorly written online literature (i.e. run on sentences). Keep your ears open cause the BCMC has just started to roll.

Life is like a Ford Fiesta on the Mongol Rally, once started it will stall if left to idle. - Seth

The Official Minstrel of the BCMC - Sven Curth

Sven is good people and makes better than average music that does not suck. Want proof, the team consistently played his solo release "Me and Jim" while driving on the Mongol Rally. In fact, the convoy has since requested copies to play on the radio in London. The real question here is why haven't you bought your copy yet. Available here.

Stop by www.hot-fat.com, say hi and buy a cd or two.


 

 

 

 

Getting Sick in Bishkek

August 10th, 2006 posted by Vaughn

Something happened two nights ago and it made my Wednesday a living hell. We met up with some wonderful ex-pats here in Bishkek and we started drinking vodka martinis around 7:00 p.m. at the Metro, switching then to beer all while eating tasty barfood on their bill. After spending some time there, we moved on to a place called the Golden Bull, whose main advertising image is that of Ben Stiller wrestling a golden bull, a la Dodgeball. Anyway, after another two drinks there, we made our way back to the Hotel Dostuk and I slept well. Unfortunately, Wednesday found me sick to the stomach and vomiting several times over the course of the day. Some assumed it was the alcohol, others thought it was a mild bug that I somehow contracted. Either way, a very kind ex-Peace Corp volunteer gave me some medicine - taken with Sprite - from his old stash. I slept for three hours and woke up refreshed and totally unnauseated. I feel even better today and am ready to take on the second Kazakh leg up to Russia.

Not too long to go in the grand scheme of things, so wish us luck and keep reading. We’ll do our best to convey how amazing it’s going to get.
