We have just completed our first beer, oops sorry our 2nd day in Mongolia and we are running 7th in our class. That's not bad given that we are not trying to be competitive in Mongolia as we do want to see Paris. I can only assume that there must be well over half the field who are trying even less hard than us! Today we experienced our first component failure. One rear shock absorber decided that when he signed for the job of rear absorber, DB5 Mongolia was not in the job description. The odd jaunt upto St James for lunch and maybe a week away touring the French Vineyards were all part of the plan, but Mongolia...NO way. Net result is he resigned his job half way through the first stage typical disgruntled employee no consideration for his employers. Anyway, we managed to bring in replacement we had been training and he seems happy in the job.
This little inconvenience actually cost us 2 mins in total for the day and no penalties thankfully. We are now in Ulaan Baatar with a day off tomorrow. We all need it including our new employee. More soon
