Well I made it to Mongolia, didn't get arrested, no-one mentioned the car at the boarder, have only paid 30 pound in bribes since setting out, which to say I've driven a good few thousand miles in Russia is an achievement to say the least.
Am spending a couple of days or so in Mongolia then to China. The computers at the Internet cafes are exceptionally slow, this one has 256MB RAM which is one of the faster ones that iv found. trying to multi-task on it is impossible and it takes three minutes or so to open a new window.
O well cant complain I'm in Mongolia. The sun is shining, great blue sky over head and i have found a good hostel for the price of three pound fifty per night or 7000 in the local money, which means i have lots of pointless little notes which are worth bugger all. at 2350ish to the pound. the lowest note denominations are in 10s i think which is probably of the same value as a piece of fancy toilet paper. but more quaintly decorated.
So despite all this im off to take some photos and walk around the town a little more. i think the sun is setting about now.

Congratulation and deepest simpithies on getting rid of that car and loosing it. Where the bloody hell is blah blah town (I have no idea how you spell that) Who won the bet? The car? I am very impressed that you are now in country ten. That is a fine feat. The car had 101600 miles when you left. How many at the time of death? Oh and I hope you took that clutch out of it since it was brand new. Christ you could sell it on e-bay. In fact put the car on e-bay and see what you get for it. Obviously the buyer will have to collect!
Well done again and I will lookforward to tails of the east.
Go edit your google map when you have a decent inter web connection and mark on the car's resting place.
