<p>So the race is already over...!? yep!</p><p>after a rather heavy crash on day 1 we got ourself together and set off bravely on day 2 but luck had lef tus... after 1 km we experienced a massive short circuit, not much later followed by our battery catching FIRE! almost our tuktuk burned down but our swift reaction saved us from that.</p><p>after renewing several cables we carried on, only to find our engine overboiling, bougie cables melting and gasoline leaking... after many (expensive) reparations we were on our own and finally driving for a while, trying ro catch up with our friends when disaster struck: The cyllinder jammed..!!! </p><p>Reperation was not possible as the whole engine needs to be renovated... We then realised we would never catch up with our friends and would never be in time to catch the boat to malaysia and it would cost is a lot and a lot of money even to try. plus the fact that we were on our own, without any help to encounter problems or even a tow to the next town/garage. Also our sweet friends from JAAN offered to come and get us with their pick up and bring us back to Jakarta... </p><p>so yeah that is what we did, we are very sad we could not finish but on the other hand are lucky to be alive and have only minor hurts and wounds... We are now planning the rest of our time in SE-Asia and are looking forward to an (extra!) long holiday, hopefully we can do some volunteer work for JAAN and meet up with the teams in malaysia. maybe even catch a ride with a tuktuk!? who knows....</p><p>thanks all for donating to JAAN, they were truly amazed by the amount we raised (about 2,285 EURO!!!) and the sweet replies after our crash...</p><p>-end of message- </p><p> Joe & Susanne, formerly known as team ongeleid projectiel!</p><p> </p><p>Ello Good friends!</p><p>We are very very happy to inform you that we have already reached our goal of 500,- British pounds for the official charity chosen by The Adventurists: Birdlife international</p><p>We would like to thank all of you for your generous donations and sweet messages...!</p><p>BUT NOW...! We would like to ask you to participate in part 2 of our fundraising project. The charity that WE have chosen Jakarta Animal Aid Network ( <a href="http://jakartaanimalaid.com/">http://jakartaanimalaid.com/</a> ) really needs our help to save, rescue and protect endangered species in indonesia! </p><p>We HAVE to raise another 500,- British pounds in order to start the race but we aim to collect more than that, in fact to collect as much as possible to help JAAN to do their good work! Because JAAN is not an english taxpaying organisation nor is it a ´big´ (like a NGO) organisation we do not have a fancy page where you can donate... </p><p>The only way to Help them (and us!) is to give your donation in cash to Susanne or Joe or transfer money to Joe´s bankaccount:</p><p>Name: J .Clarkson/Nijmegen</p><p>Bank account number: 7206295 </p><p>Please leave a message for us that we can publish that right here on our blog. At the end of our race we will transfer it directly to JAAN and the adventurists will make sure that that will in fact happen, do not worry we will not run off with your money into the jungle...! or will we...? hhmmm!</p><p>Anyway, thanks a lot!</p><p><u><em><span style="font-weight: bold"></span><span style="color: #000000"></span></em><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="color: #ff0000">DONATIONS MADE TO JAAN:</span></span></span></u></p><p>€12,50 Valerie</p><p>€20,00 David</p><p>€5,00 Petra </p><p>€50,00 Miem(waar is mijn feestneus?! miem waar is mijn bier?!
