So far it has gone very well. We bent a steering arm in the Taitas but changed it in the service afterwards. It was lovely to see the Taita's again. I haven't seen them since 1992. The section was beautiful.

We had a puncture on the first section then Marcy passed us so we were in his dust. We then tried to take something back in the second competitive section but we had another puncture - on the front this time. But we were bloody too quick to change them - my son is a good mechanic. I think we lost about five to six minutes in all.

"We had a left front puncture seven kilometres from the end of the last section but we drove out on it. The sections were brilliant and we were clean apart from the puncture. It was very difficult for the navigator but Mathias was spot on. He hurst his back slightly on the transport section but it's fine now". On taking the lead from Marcy he said: "The safaris is an event that always levels things out. It has its ups and downs. You can't use any tactic except to play it safe".

Mr. Waldegard's first exclamation as he opened the Escort's door at Amboseli was "Fie Fahn": a Swedish expression which does not indicate the day went entirely well. He suffered problems in each of the three competitive sections: a broken steering ball joint, the loss of fourth gear and a puncture. "That is Safari", he said philosophically "One day is good and the next day is bad but this Safari is getting a little too unpredictable for my liking" Waldegard is still leading by nine and a half minutes despite these problems.
