Kaduna Road, Nigeria - Friday 27 July 2007 - Gearbox chapter two...

Just read and enjoy Marc... I am sure you have a tale or two about St. George to share next time we gather around the camp fire. To make two long days short, Betsy is stripped and standing next to the highway for everybody to enjoy. And we have made DCs workshop to the areas hotspot, something we will have to discuss when he presents the invoice.

Broken gear roller! If that's the name of the above part, well then I take back my suspicion of bush mechanic slang from Engineer DC himself. In any case, this thing broke which is something you hardly can blame Betsy nor me for recklessness. This is a Land Rover mistake and in saying so we are not at all thinking about Land Rovers lack of commitment for sponsorship or any support what so ever. Parts are unavailable in this part of the world, so Mr DC located some wizard with high tech welding tools and they will try to fix as best they can. If we fail, I just will have to continue and plan my driving so that there is no need to back up... The fifth gear is just luxury anyway :-)
