Danny Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Europes the easy part Its when he gets to the more far east countries that the roads become much harder Hes expecting it to take about 6 weeks even thought it only says 3 on the website.

Tomm Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 What are all those other flags?6 weeks is ages... He must be 10-15% of the way there by now (as the crow flies)? Those roads must be terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several different routes they could take.http://www.mongolrally.com/modules.php?name=Mapping (Click 'Show/Hide Route & Checkpoint Legend')Heres some pictures of the 'roads' http://www.mongolrally.com/modules.php?nam...d=92&page=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyo Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 If Toms car breaks down, and he becomes the sex slave of a mongolian farmer, do they have rescue people or will they leave him there.If they do leave him, who is going to replace him.Or will we send the TF Justice squad to go and get him back.
