The Gentlemen of Fortune - a mystical group, evolving through nearly a decade of genetic modification from humble pub quiz team in the pre-google era to an all conquering driving force of Europe, the Middle East and Northern Asia.

3 men and a dubious car shall endevour to make an epic journey all in the name of charity. With tight rules that demand a less than 10 year old car, but with a rubbish engine, and only 4 weeks of annual leave to play with, we're atempting to raise well over £1000 in cash to good causes. In addition the car will be auctioned at the end of the trip.

Any help we receive will be most greatly appreciated - be that in terms of banter, or cold, hard cash. Although cash is better... if you can afford anything, please donate

Our theme song!

Initial flight was delayed, but they upgraded me to president class and had a reclining bed! The others weren't so lucky... Sadly Paul isn't on the list for the next flight and the Ruski's won't even let him into the proper terminal. Hope he joins us soon! Duncan x

Did any team beat an arrival of 4.30am on 16/08/09 to UB, having been through Iran? I think we claim that as a victory!!
