Ok, a short update from the boys and their girlfriend
The last days are long. Rusland looks like the Belgique Ardennes, this is with a lot of hills and trees. But also with large grasslands.
The roads are with a lot of holes and bumps. Theirfore they have to be carefull. Because of this they had a lot of flat tyres.
So they try to fix these tyres but in some way a few hours later it is flat again. When they where out of spare tires they even used an tyre of a moterbike from a russion motorcycle gang. Will sat behind one of those man with a motorwheel between them and so drove trough town. It got late but the next day they have to use this one and it got them trough the race that day.
Today they get to Moscow and than they have a restday. Where there are a lot of spareparts waiting to get the Singer in a good shape again.

great picture of a work of art...
Very impressive how reliable the car has been so far and also impressive how prepared they were and how they have kept going.
Sure show how reliable that little Singer can be in harsh conditions.
Its enthused me into going into my garage and working on my LM that is for sure.

Well Done !!!
They did it, they finished ! and finished quite well also.
Extremely impressive for the little car, I remember helping set up the 1.5Litre that was initially going to be in the race and since I have both cars in my garage, I was just shocked that the little LM would hold up compared to the bigger car.
WOW !!! Congratulations !!! Super impressive, I can't say enough how impressed I am...
