Cima Racing : Home2Rome 2010: Complications, but the good kind

Complications, but the good kind

06 April 2010

Blimey. Now things are getting tough.

Within minutes of Neo Brothers agreeing to coax our SAAB in to MOT beating life, we've been offered another car. And this one's a monster!

Lurking deep within the BBC Top Gear garage is an ancient Japanese boulevard cruiser, dull enough to put ditchwater out of a job, and it's been offered to us, with only a handful of known problems, within budget.

So we're going for it. We'll now be doing all 3,000 miles of Home2Rome in a Lexus LS400, complete with a 4.0 V8 engine that can best be described as both lazy and thirsty.

It's not the end of the road for our trusty SAAB though, as that will serve its time in the hands of another Home2Rome rally team.

They'll certainly get a smaller fuel bill...
