Mr. Dinosaur — Stupidity is not extinct! Mr. Dinosaur is an idea as ill-conceived as our name: Three hirsute American gents will abandon our motherland this summer and attempt to navigate a crappy car from London to Mongolia, with a brief Scandinavian detour. Why? Because we crave the midnight sun, want to glug fermented horse milk and ogle Lenin’s embalmed body. And Mongolia! What the hell’s in Mongolia? Whatever we find, we’re sure it’ll provide us new dinner-party stories to replace the one about the squirrel and the bottle of ketchup. The Mongol Rally is adventure at its purist. And its most idiotic. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Why we need your help: The Mongol Rally isn’t all fun and yaks. We’re raising funds for several charities including Mercy Corps Mongolia, working to mobilize resources to help provide a better quality of life to rural Mongolians, and Send a Cow, donating bovines, chickens and honeybees (among other sustenance-producing creatures) to needy farmers and villages in sub-Saharan Africa. Your bucks won’t foot our gas and vodka bill: They’ll help feed needy folks. We need to raise at least $2000 but our goal is to match the cost of our trip with donations. Please help us out by donating! A donation of $20 would be great – $50, $100 or more would be excellent!
