Reunited

Our fears that the car might have disappeared without trace and poss ended up in some Russian autojumble....were unfounded. Bizarrely they all seem to covet shiny new BMW's here, than 50 year old Ford Pilots. How can that be?
The sight of the truck coming down the long St Petersburg avenue towards us was just a huge relief. We almost kissed the poor driver who manfully brought her 1500kms, on just dreadful roads almost nonstop for 48 hours. The rest of the rally get here tomorrow night, so we take her to a garage this morning, to try and get her (poss terminal) suspension probs sorted.
Will pen some thoughts on Russia, and some more pics, later.

We are keeping fingers crossed that you can weld her up and get on the road again - sounds a fantastic trip! say hi to Chris and Anita in the Lagonda (car 37)from Caroline and me. They have a story to tell about car problems which seemed terminal at the time! See you in the Hatchett! J & C
