As yesterday we made an earlier start than the official time which meant another eight hour penalty (but what the hell!!!).  We needed to get to Yekaterinberg early to do a thorough nut and bolt check and to service the car. On the way we passed a SAM 2 missile alongside the road!

We used the day to tend to poor Mog’s needs.  Jon once again dismantled the rear and we refitted a rear spring which now comprised a new Morgan top leaves, two adapted Lagonda leaves and a recycled Morgan top leaf as two bottom leaves!
