STAR DATE: September 5th - 14th 2008

the challenge

Our first ever inter-galactic space romp covering a whopping 3 trillion light years (4,000 of your earth kilometres) to the lesser known constellation of Romania in search of Uranus..

Fortunately unlike real space, we didn't have to urinate into a spacesuit or die horribly of oxygen starvation when opening the car windows.

the wheels

Kirk and crew could not accomplish this mission alone so the call went out for an arse(nal) of space junk. We were joined by all of sci-fi's greatest including the chaps from Star Wars, Red Dwarf, Buck Rogers and even the retards from Blake's Seven...

So, usual banger rules applied but when it came to mods the sky in deep space nine was the limit. Think Ford Orion, think Death Star...

the rules

Earth based vehicles only. Normal combustion was replaced with solid rocket fuel and some biofuel we made from Timotei and hamsters. Needless to say Ebay resellers of Neon lighting and Flux Capacitors had a bumper year...

the route (ish)

• Launch site: London, England
• Time and Date: September 5th 2008
• Trajectory: a sort of wobbly motion, generally heading East...
• Payload: laser beams, photon torpedos, Stella Artois
• Duration: 10 Earth days
