Cape-To Cape Expedition

[james_III]

[clip] We are heading up to Zambia today after sorting out the problems with our starter motor. Spares are hard to come by as the engine is not a Toyota but from Detroit. A guy in Maun, Botswana managed to get a piece of carbon and carve it to the same shape as our brushes and it now works again. As they say here 'n boer maak 'n plan (a farmer makes a plan). We have named our car Mel (the previous owner called her Mellow and before that she was known as Donkey). She is a 1978 Toyota land cruiser with a 6.2 litre V8 Detroit engine - might as well use as much diesel as we can while it is still around. She is 6 m long so there is plenty of space in the back where we have a fold down double bed. She has 2 fuel tanks so can take about 180 litres of fuel - enough to cover 1400km. We also have 2 batteries so we can run our fridge, lights and stereo off the back battery. We have a gas cooker, built in washing machine, shower, kitchen sink, table, chairs, sofa and library - really very comfortable. [/clip]
