Very best of luck.
Do they still give out a rally buff at the start? Those things quickly become indispensable. I still use mine.

Oh yeah, my other tips (in addition to avoiding drunk Russian lorry drivers) are: take a load of babywipes, get one of those point-it books, and pack a dust mask.

Jealous :(
Second the wet wipes, and if you can squeeze it in get an electric coolbox. 16 degrees below ambient temperature may not be icy cold but when your bumping down a track in Kazakhstan, and its 50C it makes water drinkable.... and the odd beer before you crash out exhausted to start driving again when the sun comes up. I wanna go again!

And a funnel with some kind of mesh filter is a good buy -
the petrol in Mongolia is 80 octane with addded sand.

An electric coolbox would have been sooooo good, yep. I want to go again too.
