Hi Guys
No timed events today, just a drive between borders and towns, This means
that some crews get some extra time to sort out the previous troubles. The
Richard Dyke-Price has gone in search of an alloy welder to repair the tank,
I wonder what the local term is for 'there's a hole in my fuel tank'? or do
you have a spare alloy fuel tank for a Healey 3000 on your camel? <grin> The
local Mercedes dealer has been approached to try and repair a bent axle.
The next night our intrepid adventurers spend the night under canvas (tents
next to the road, notice how the accommodation standards have dropped
further they get from home!) with the following days events consisting of a
timed section over a race track, plus a 25km time trial.
The next real challenge is in Tibet when they will be introduced to the
Hotel Choksam! Famous for having no doors at all not even a front one, pot
belly pigs as bedmates and no bathrooms or toilet faculties.
Such is the high life of a rally contender.
This first night in Tibet plus the speed events could see major changes in
the leader board.
Regards
