Interesting article in todays Daily Telegraph motoring section about a couple of Chummies being driven from Peking to Paris. Also website www.pekingparis.co.uk .They dont seem to be taking many spares, if it was my car I would carry at least two spare engines,plus complete spare running gear!! Anyway good luck to them on their 7,500 mile journey.

Very experienced people. Two very good cars. If anyone can find their way from Peking to Paris it's Annabel.

The very best of luck to both crews.

Edward Way (Le Patron), is the person who Published Canning Browns book on A7 Racing History recently.

I particularly like the fact that they are all growing handlebar moustaches!

Seems to be a lot of people retracing the route (and others...) to celebrate the centenary. Best of luck to all of them! I for one am looking forward to reading all about the various adventures.

Cheers
