Gerrie

I've just spent a great 2.5 days with your parents. They set off for the Great Wall tomorrow morning on the big adventure.

The car is looking well sorted, and if they are carefull, reaching Paris should be no problem.

(they tell me you're meeting them in Paris and will then be driving the car back to Jhb.)

Some photos attached for your reference.

001 First view of the car after many weeks on the boat. Just one flat tire.

002 The first petrol station. I didn't expect Beijing to be this rural!

005 Paperwork. Seems Robert is happy not to be in charge.

006 pink wheels!  The driver is Jenny from Vancouver. blog www.car7pekingtoparis.com

007 Ratracer. Don't be fooled, everything underneath is shiny and new.

008 The Italian neighbours. I've asked for an update on the dramas that are sure to unfold with this team. Nice car btw.

009 Easy fix for ground clearance. BIG WHEELS.

010 Big headlamps. (not quite Hooters though)

011 More big headlamps. Also a team very serious about finishing first.

012 Panamerica racer

013 the Chevrolet club.

all the best
