10 days to go!
You may have noticed a few little changes on our car recently.. some fantastic new mud and snow tyres, a new door handle.. and if you are lucky enough to have been in it, a much smoother drive with a new clutch so that the car no longer vibrates.
The little passion has spent a week being prodded by handy mechanic Lynn at Surrey garage, where she has had been fully prepared for the epic adventure ahead. Passion is now sporting a metal underplate to protect the sump, a metal plate to protect the petrol tank, and a grill at the front to protect the radiator. She has a set of new tyres, ready to take on the kazahk dirt roads and a couple of spares in the boot. She has been fitted with new hoses and clips, ht leads, accelerator cable, clutch, clutch cable etc etc they even fixed the window winding handle so it no longer falls off everytime you drive round a corner!
 This service has been an absolute life saver, and with 10 days to go we now know that we have a car worthy of the 10,000 mile trip. We cannot thank Roger Clarke, who sponsored our service, enough, as well as Lynn and all the mechanics at Surrey Garage who kindly used their skills to transform our 10 year old town-driving nissan micra into a true rally machine!
