ENGLISH
ForberedelserPosted by symbolon Mon, January 19, 2009 14:23:40A Hungarian friend have requested some information in English. The DS is performing according to our expectations. We have had some minor technical problems, until last night we sorted them out ourselves. But today we are visiting a DS specialist in France. Since the car is almost 40 years old, it is not strange that some of the hydraulic pipes needs a make-over. We had initially planned to replace one pipe, but now it looks like we will arrive in Bamako with brand new hydraulic tubes on the left side of our car. Since today is the longest haul in the whole rally, it is not a perfect repair day - but we are (as always) optimistic. If we do not reach the FINISH line today, we will drive more tomorrow!
