FWIW, even though the 12000 Ironmans 'retail' around $1000, many people have tracked one down for under $600 ;) . Good luck either way :cool:

It is Rainforest Portugal, the european version of the Rainforest Malasya (kind like the Outback Australia / Outback Morroco). It´s an anual event with competitors from France, Spain, Portugal, UK, Belgium...

Finished 3rd, which is great, considering the truck is unfinished.

Cheers

The RainForest event is held in many countries. There is a Portuguese even and a Spanish event, however both take place in Portugal.

You can take a look at the website, they have a promo video here:
