Tighten yer nuts!
Hi all,
Been a rather interesting time over the Pamir Highway.
We got to the beautiful lake just 80k short of the border to Kyrgyzstan & our exhaust fell off which we thought was rather funny but 5 mins later our front right wheel decided it had had enough of the car & left us whilst going over 50kph. We came to a screeching stop with sparks flying as the brake disk took the brunt of it.
A lovely family from a homestay at the next village (Karakol) came to the rescue. Very amusing watching 2 so called mechanics trying to saw off the wheel bolts with a solar power saw. I kid you not!
After 1.5 days of humming & ha'ing the car was finally ready to go. Their last words to me were "Remember to tighten your wheel nuts"
LMAO
It's hot hot hot!
Hi all,
Does anybody know how many teams are left in the rally?

Nukus, Nukus District, Republic of Karakalpakstan
In Nukus after a bone rattling journey from the Gas Crater. How many cars made the journey?
Tired & emotional.
The above says it all really.
We have hit the capital of Georgia, Tiblisi. My trooper of a wife is in bed sleeping & I'm of on bit of a recon.
Tiblisi is breathtakingly stunning but you can tell there is an underlying seediness about the place. Large gambling halls & prostitution knocking around.
Life is extremely cheap out here so I'm thinking of moving here.
4 large beers & 2 shots with crisps & nuts £4
Decent main courses for around the £3 mark. Lovely.
Fuel is £0.57p a litre
The weather has chilled a lot since Turkey which I find rather strange as we are heading towards the Equator.
Knackered & signing out. X
Not sure if this is right?
