ok so there are 130 cars here, all set for this epic tour across the wild of china, mongolia, russia and the Baltic States, and there;s only one car that that doeesn't seem to work....and it's ours.
So in 36 degrees of heat all day, we've had more opinions that you can dream of, give us their views on how to fix our car. Vapourisation of fuel, timing of sparkplugs, quality of fuel, Bermuda triangle, Falon Gong, you name it, we have have had it. Every single theory has been thrown at us, so eventually with more of the rally crew round the car, than is feasibly poss to assemble under one bonnet, finally at 1930 we had a Eureka experience, and the car seems to work. Wirth 2 trips round the car park, we feel up'n'running. Both of us now have grey hair. We leave for the Great Wall (the start line) at 6 am. Aaaargh.
I have attached some pics of some of the cars on the rally. Amazing cars. But the car with all the red shirts peering into our bonnet......is ours.
