Hundreds of old and cheap cars have been spotted driving through Wales today, leaving many wondering about the unusual sight. This phenomenon is part of an organised event called Carbage Run 2024, which attracts participants from all over Europe. The challenge requires driving 2,000 kilometres in a car that is at least 20 years old and valued at no more than €500.
The Carbage Run event kicked off in the south of England near Dover and is expected to finish on Saturday. The route has taken the participants through north Wales, Ceredigion, and into west Wales before heading back towards the south of England. The event focuses on creativity, craziness, adventure, and having fun with an element of competition through daily assignments to earn points.
According to the event organisers, participants must rely on each other as there is no tow truck or technical service provided. The event aims to create a sense of camaraderie among the participants, who are encouraged to help one another in case of breakdowns. This unique event brings together a diverse group of individuals who share a common love for old cars and thrilling adventures.
Carbage Run is not just about reaching the finish line first but about the shared experiences and memories created along the way. Participants embrace the challenges of driving old cars through picturesque European landscapes, making it an unforgettable journey filled with unexpected twists and turns.
