After 3 days of navigating Mongolians on the wrong side of a bottle of wodka, we are now convincing Beijing brass to make 1L car rallying an Olympic event.

We made it! Second car here, first car from London. Welcomed by a cheering crowd at Dave's Place. 15 days on the road just to hop on train to Beijing!

just spent 10 hours at Mongolian border fire drilling officials so other 177 teams can pass hassle free. No need to thank us. We are trained professionals.

Irkutsk + Friday: great duo! We can smell the Land of Down (not talking about us here)! Sam sounding like a sick puppy, but nothing ignorance can't fix.

Beautiful winding empty roads with a feel of Spain's hinterland. Enjoying our drive to Krasnoyarsk. No sign of fellow rallyers since Russian border!

Sixteen hours of non stop driving (incl. Novosibirsk rush hour) took us to Tomsk, dubbed Oxford of Siberia. Crossed time zone 7. We're above China!

Mad drive to Omsk. Swamps, foggy roads in the dark and 200 km of no mans land. Sam is cruising gloriously. Another truck stop in mozzie infested forest.
