"We had to cope with Nairobi traffic with no clutch". After the third section, the Escort's clutch refused to disengage so that it had to be driven to the final control practically non-stop. "It was sometimes a bit narrow but we made it and didn't upset too many people". | ||||||

We had a very good run through today. We hit a rock on the second section and bent the rim but it didn't puncture. However just three kilometres from the end of the third section we did have a puncture. We had a odometer problem and thought it was only a couple of kilometres to the end of the section so decided to drive on which was a big mistake as it was quite a bit further. | ||||||

"I had a slightly loose steering arm which we fixed after the first section. There was a lot of dust from the other cars. It seems to be a pattern with us: we drive then we break something, we drive then we break something but what will be, will be". Without their considerable road penalties incurred for service their Escort would be a lot better placed in results. | ||||||
