If you guys seriously just want to do a Europe roadtrip, I'd suggest you just get a few mates together, book a few hotels or whatever and do it yourselves.

The trouble with a lot of these banger rally things is that you can end up paying out a sizeable sum to enter (that one is £200 entry fee, then a car that costs less than £250 and getting that ready, etc.) and then still regretting it all. A mate went on the Scumball Rally a couple of years ago and said that the antics of some of the other entrants made him ashamed to be British.

At least with mates you can pretty much guarentee a good time, and you won't have to pay entrance fees, or have to buy cars specifically for the event, etc.
