Limitad wi fi access here so don't expect quick or coherent replies.

Portsmouth - Bilbao
Algecerias Tangere med
as for the mud it is nasty fine clay - we had to do a 1in 3 hill with the locals on the back and when I went to the 'Lavage' they refused to clean it.
Nice one Chris, keep posting and enjoy your trip.
:D
Like your hat Chris .... :D

Thanks Fred, I do like to blend in and be inconspicuous.
I did take a picture for you - Health and safety would be appoplectic :wink:
*gasp* Don't they know about health a safety? I mean the print on the orange plastic tarpaulin is printed using black lead ink!

Well disgusted of beaconsfield it's lucky I didn't post the picture of the plaited intestines and other awfull offal :shock:
Maybe not in our lifetimes, but we've been there, and worse. Don't see many E-numbers on those carcasses either (just e-coli). They should enjoy the freedom, like the french.
My advice would be to try to buy a live chicken, it's not that difficult to clean. It is a lot easier to skin a chicken than to pluck. On my trips through Africa I always buy a live chicken and a goat, it is cheap enough to eat what you can and give the left overs to the locals.
Another tip would be that fresh meat can almost never be to rotten, as long as you finish it just after it has been cooked, NEVER reheat.
The locals eat it and are ok, so go for it, me, I'll just nip down to Sainsbury's for a nice piece of fillet.
dare I ask what the goat is for? *shudder*

I believe that it offers a number of succesive uses. Some others might argue that some of these can also be repeated at a later stage. For details, please look into the "adults only" section of the forum. :lol:
Keep in mind I am Welsh now...
:D
Just noticed you butcher apron aswell :-)
good for the Goat's job .....
Nice one Chris , keep the faith mate.
Cliff
this guy wanted a race, muttered something about g500 spider bla blah blah ...
anyway didn't want to embarasse royalty in his own kingdom......
LOL very funny.... all that heat and you still have your sense of humour!
Is that one of them SLS's?

LOL very funny.... all that
too much crap in the back of my car to see much so had to let him past. yes sls 6.3amg something flashy .
46 in the shade btw
you are obviously having fun in the heat chris :P
how's the 230 coping with the heat btw ? 46 in the shade is HOT :!: I thought nicosia was hot :shock:
i didnt see the goat in the pics chris..? did you kleftiko it :)
hi huss,
the 230 is doing fine, in england it always ran at 85 and in africa it always runs at 95 regardless. I keep thinking I should move the spots to give a bit more airflow - maybe tomorrow . I have always thought the 230 engine from the 1980s was a little gem and have probably done close to a million miles on 4 of them - this one has 200,000 before the rebuild and 40,000 since.
are you sure you have enough clocks to check things :shock:
only joking, where did you get them from? i saw eurottrucks do a 2 dial pod too which i am geeting soon so i can add oil pressure and volt meter on my new project.
ps, next time take interior shots when you are not driving... i realise that you are picking up local habits....
bloody foreigners :lol: :!:

clocks s/h from ebay mount made from rescued road sign - very nice grey but the back is a bit hi vis.

best local habit so far is a policeman who stops me everytime he sees me to share wine, usualy mine and he says he doesn't mind if I speed because I will havegood breaks being a mercedes - obviously never driven an overloaded g wagen in need of new pads and rear cylinder.
bloody foreigners :lol: :!: :shock:

yes, it's beautifull but gettingback from the beach after it rains can be a bit messy - especially when the locals don't have 4wd :wink:
