In the beginning, there was an idea. It was a bad one.
In the beginning, Tony saw something called the Mongol Rally. And he saw that it was good. Tony thought to himself, "This sounds like a terrible idea. I should do it. Why, I'm young, handsome, and unattached. What better way to spend my next summer than bouncing through the desert in a terrible British car with a stranger from the Internet? Jolly good." He didn't actually think "Jolly good" to himself, because he is not British.
Tony contact Rich. He said, "Hey, you are going to buy us a crap car and we're going to attempt to drive it to Mongolia.". Because he had years of experience in not standing up for himself, Rich replied, "OK". And thus, Team WOOOOO (you can put however many Os you like, so long as it's more than two) was born. And thus this blog!
The purpose of this blog is to chronicle our journey from concept to fruition. We'll be keeping our adoring fans updated on our quest to get registered for the Rally, get money, buy a car, find sponsorships, get visas to countries we didn't know existed a week ago, beg for donations, and maybe even actually do some driving. The rally is many moons away, but the way is fraught with danger and excitement. And that's before we start on the trip.
Here's a few links to get us started:

Team WOOOOO on GoSleepGo -Our project entry on GoSleepGo. If we get the most support by the end of this contest in January, we get $1000 bucks towards our expenses. Neat!
Tony on Facebook - If for whatever reason you want to know more about me. Rich doesn't have one because he's a loser.
