Astana, Kazakhstan
we left briefly this morning after getting our registration sorted. Only to find that 20kms down the road Alan started missing again. We pulled over and reset the points, replaced the condenser and moved on. No change! Back at garage having it looked at. At this rate Almaty could be out of the question and a rendezvous in semey will be on the cards!
Astana, Kazakhstan
registration issue sorted, fine avoided. Maybe the fact we showed the policeman a photo of Alan made him feel sorry for us. We will be registered tomorrow morning then of to Almaty, 1200kms going to have to put in some long hours to catch up on lost time.
Astana, Kazakhstan
still waiting to get registered need an official translator to allow us to fill put paperwork and pay fine for trying to register a day late! The dune buggies will have to wait for now:(@

Astana, Kazakhstan
after running progressively worse over the last 2 days Alan finally gave up with two almighty backfires including some flame from exhausts. Then refused to start. We beached up on side of motorway to wait for sun up. As we were emptying van the fire engine team passed us and is now towing us to a garage. Fingers crossed we can get back on the road again!
