Day 9 & 10 - No news is good news!!

If any of you followers has a project meeting or a sales conference in Mongolia this week, could you pop across westward a little (toward the Russian and Kazak borders) and ask Clive and Ces what's going on.   Probably a good idea to bring some home comforts as well, because Clive and his beloved tent will be together for another 2-3 days, so his teeth might be shown to any visitors.

If you need directions, here they are:

Easy ... remember that the 1907 crews had no maps ... cos there were no roads!

As I mentioned in the last update, I was sure that the resolution to cruise to the finish was just exhaustion speaking.   This remote diagnosis was confirmed in today's official classifications ... Car 72 was 4th and 5th fastest outright in today's two timed stages.   Wait until he disconnects the cruise control.

Because of their energetic cruising, Clive and Ces are continuing to climb up the leadership board.   And with 22 competitive days to go, they can overhall both the bright yellow Fangio Coupe and that 78-year-old Aussie in the Holden.   Yes, I know that I said he was 72 last time, but precision is not the strong point of a ghost, even one living in Switzerland.   

Also, sorry about the lack of an update yesterday.   Apart from having neither news from Clive nor a change in classifications (because it was a day without time penalties), I arrived home from the Dolomites to find that I had no internet myself.   Of course, if the ghost had any empathy, he would have set up tent in the garden, but instead he and Mrs Ghost had a bottle of wine and went to bed.

Tomorrow is a rest day for the P2P at Khovd.  So I'm expecting pages and pages of updates from our fearless C&C in their '38 FCC.
