No matter how strong the urge, no giving the camels man love! All the best to the other teams...Thinking of you and we are missing you, hope the driving conditions improve! We have decided not to find religion, or cross-stitch, but may well do what Jon says and have to start knitting!! ;-) Love you loads baby... Natalie ♥

Hi Andy & Jon, Glad u ok. Have thought of alliteration: The Scarlet Skoda went Skittishly Scampering through Sea and Sand by the Shores of the Sea, Scaring all others ending Safely and Soundly in Sunny Mongolia.
Take care, Love Mumsie. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What's happened? 1st Gear say you've got problems.Hope it's fixable.Luv Mum
Re: no phone reception for most of us.
Hi Andy & Jon. Have had phone call from Jon's mum Brenda. She says you've had breakdown and are out of the game. Is that right, or can you fix the car. Hope it not too serious and that you are both OK. Please let us know the situation. If you are out, take care and come home safe & sound. Well done on getting that far. Love Mumsie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
