Well....we've made it to Mongolia! Cars are dying left right and centre. The peugeot is gone but the Suzuki is back on the road. Managed to find a similar part somehow and the guy in the garage welded it on to the original bracket. Yesterday we had some engine trouble but an early start thismorning fiddling with the carb and exhaust seem to have  sorted it out. Waiting on a fresh set of springs and shocks to be fitted on the suzuki as they managed to snap a 2 springs and bend a shock in one day! Good effort!

Anyway...need to get going as its another 400km drive on the worlds worst roads today! Seems to be a reccuring theme of day of driving, day of repair! Luckily we are going well. The amount of mongol rally cars in the local garage is unbelievable!

Hopefully going to make it to Ulan Bator for the 28th party. Apparently the roads improve within 600km of the city, no tarmac....but we are told they are pretty driveable. 

 

All having an awesome time. Our new team members are form team "Dick's Dastardly". Hopeing to spend some time in UB after the outrageous finish line party.
