Horse Skull and Racing Stripes — [The Mongol Rally]
An epic adventure must be undertaken with a healthy dose of absurdity
Looking around at the launch party in Klenova, Czech Republic, I quickly realized that my own sense of practicality has entire suppressed my love of the absurd.
A full size bathtub on the top of the car!
A horse head!
A pirate flag!
For a woman with an unhealthy obsession with pirates, why didn’t I think of that?
“Irina” must be outfitted with some element of the absurd, pronto!
Well…at least we could start with some racing stripes made from duct tape.
Then….we came upon a horse head. A complete horse skull! With a little bungee cord and some zip ties, “Irina” is now adorned with an element of absurdity.
Make no mistake. The racing strip makes “Irina” go faster, I would say there is at least a 5% performance increase and the horse head ensures her to be free of mechanical failures!
