Hello all,
Sorry for ignoring my own thread - I thought I ticked the box asking for email notifications of replies but clearly not.....
I'm in training for this potential journey by driving a 1990 Micra round Kampala and beyond. 12 inch wheels and large potholes are not a good combination, especially when combined with very slippery roads and insane local drivers.
The Europe-Syria-Jordan-Egypt route looks good to us although we might cheat and buy a 4x4 in the UK on the basis that they're dirt cheap there and hugely expensive here. A late model Disco seems favourite.
Anyway, we'll let you know how it all goes.
Btw, there's a small possibility of "Crap Cars to Capetwon" in 2010. Julian Nowill of Plymouth-Dakar fame is thinking about setting it up.
