Worst roads ever it is just washboard roads eating our car. Our suspension is shot, trying to fix it when we limp to the next town. So many rally cars have the same problem, coils snapping, shocks blowing apart. Hope the rest of Mongolia is not like this!

We had ANOTHER tire blow out and it was our brand new tire! But it now is completely gone. Fun and games! We are now just beating the other ones into shape and going on. Mongolia roads (well the lack of them) should be interesting!!@
