Off to the warehouse about 35km from the hotel in busses. Beautifully organised so that bus 1 was full of the teams of cars nearest the exit. Sadly bus 1 was the last to arrive at the warehouse. “Best laid plans of mice and men”. Everyone very anxious to see if their cars would start........
Delighted to report that our Lagonda started first time! Then off, following the route map to the petrol station. You can imagine the chaos. 150 odd cars turning up at a Beijing petrol station to refuel. A few ran out of fuel on the way to the petrol station. I drove to the petrol and James to the hotel. There was a degree of carnage on the way with all sorts of cars in trouble but I am delighted to report that we managed to get there absolutely fault (engineering wise and navigation wise) free.
There is a collection of beautiful cars in the hotel car park and in amongst them I am proud to say is ours!
A good start but a long, long way to go.
