Status:

Abandoned

Date you abandoned:

6 Aug 2008

Who did you leave/give your vehicle to?:

We donated the vehicle and all our equipment to a local orphanage in Astana. Due to problems with bureaucracy its most likely that the car will have to be broken and sold for parts

Where abandoned?:

Central Astana

Abandoned - why?:

Suffered from repeated blowing of head gaskets. By the time we'd got the problem properly sorted we'd run out of time on our Russian visas so we flew home from Kazakhstan
