p>Got to Almaty, Kazakstan! Our car is ok, all the better after being filled with petrol! We did actually spend 2 hours tinkering with just about every part of the engine before realising that she had actually ran out of petrol! This was after our car engine cut out when we were half way across the final border gate out of tajikistan - what a place to break down! It was simply too cold for the engine and the spark plugs had so much dirt on them that some were actually bridging the gap! Might make the finish before end of August if we`re lucky! Met a few teams here in Almaty and heard stories from locals who have seen them. Have an invite to be on national TV but dont think we have time! A few teams have totally knackered cars after doing the pamirs so we`re both quite lucky to still be going! 6500 miles down, about 3000 to go!

So here are some more photos from the trip…
