A participant on the Mongol Rally has been killed in a crash.
Shocked me and made me realise how bloody lucky we were not to have been hurt given the wrecks we saw and the wrecks we drove.

They shouldn't let them do rallies without a carer

I would love to do that
but neither myself nor anyone I know has the first clue about car maintenance. And it's not like you can really call out the AA when your engine has fallen out in Azerbaijan or some such. Plus money, time etc, and haven't they introduced a silly rule now that you can only take a car that's less than 10 years old?

Yeah, I did it the year before the ten year rule came in.
It was the best thing I've ever done, ever. I didn't know much about mechanics but convoyed with people who did. Do it!

Wouldn't know where to start, sadly
let alone get the time off work or the sponsorship together. Ah well, one day!

Those rally cars have the cleanest windows.
