--- Quote from: "Tailendcharley" ---:)  :) Yes,your're both right..just been doing some research on the Web regarding these vehicles..I've tried following the Dakar on their web site to watch it live (so they claim) but unable to get any where...I only want to see how Charlie (long way round) Boorman is doing:

The live tracking is IMO not very interesting, but for overall standings look at http://www.dakar.com/2006/DAK/LIVE/us/500/classement/CGM.html
which gives

114 172 BOORMAN (UK)  BMW 21:25:03 07:15:45

Oh, there's some info on the Toureg at http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.php?file=car.php&carnum=2595

I shouldn't worry too much. There's not much at the front of the pack that is anything like the standard motors.

Did anyone see on Eurosport where a Bowler nearly ran into the side of one of the trucks in the sand dunes. Brown trouser moment for them and the truck then lost momentum and got stuck in the sand.

It's getting better by the day. Great start with the mud stages in Portugal.

The DAFs failed scrutineering at the start.

Will the Hummer last the course.

61st overall now. And whatever Jim did to 458 seems to have worked, it's in 77th.

Lasting the Baha is one thing. But lots of them in a row seems to be giving 'Flash' a bit of gip! He got towed out today.
