Shame the Panda couldn't keep up with you but it's been great to follow your journey. Hope to see you soon. Well done lads!http://flappo.blog.co.uk/2006/08/10/martin_departs~1027668/#c1510610http://flappo.blog.co.uk/2006/08/05/kz_and_the_panda_that_died~1016494/#c1503042tag:flappo.blog.co.uk,2006-08-09:/2006/08/05/kz_and_the_panda_that_died~1016494/#c1503042Wed, 09 Aug 2006 17:44:45 +0200So, the Panda has lived up to its name by giving up the ghost and joining the ranks of the (almost!) extinct species of that name! What a shame, after all the hard work which had been put into making it roadworthy. Never mind - it's still a great adventure (though perhaps I should have come along to help you out with all that paperwork) and I'm still very jealous of the thought of you enjoying a Big Mac in Red Square......I hope it was good!<br> It's been great keeping track of your progress and I hope that you are now enjoying yourselves in the Baltic States (one of my closest friends is Estonian!).<br> Best of luck for the rest of the return trip.<br> <br> Angelahttp://flappo.blog.co.uk/2006/08/05/kz_and_the_panda_that_died~1016494/#c1503042http://flappo.blog.co.uk/2006/08/05/kz_and_the_panda_that_died~1016494/#c1498293tag:flappo.blog.co.uk,2006-08-08:/2006/08/05/kz_and_the_panda_that_died~1016494/#c1498293Tue, 08 Aug 2006 19:40:31 +0200Well at least the head gasket stayed intact !! You made it a bloody sight further than I predicted although the fuel filter episode in Inverness was before you made it to Perth. Didn't think you'd make it past the Broom of Moy.
