See, now I think driving to China across Siberia in winter is a crazy thing to do, but at least we'll have solid ground under the ice under our wheels, you lot just have water.

Mind you, you do also have a windscreen and doors whereas we have a nice cagoule and -30°C.

See you au Mans, I'm hoping the buggies will be here in time.

Hi Alex
Welcome aboard!! We was thinking about all that when we saw your buggies!! No windscreen ect and leaving in September!! Siberia in winter? I would like to say your crazy.. But what do they say about people that live in glass houses!!
Cheers Adi
