Worst vehicle breakdown(s)?
Maybe we should have a thread listing as many 'vehicle breakdowns / things that broke along the way / after the trip thoughts' on overland trips so that others that follow can easily get an idea of what kind of mechanical things happen and how easy/difficult they are to remediate?
Not individual stories - but a full run down after your long overland trip of what went wrong and thoughts on your preparations etc…..
Add your own postings below and I'll update this first post with a master list as we go along?
