Day 5: Dharamsala – Shimla


Day 5: Dharamsala – Shimla
The road continued to be hilly and windy. Many of cars left early but not as early as days before. The road condition continued to be quite poor so many cars became a little more damaged. Rod and Cathy in the Sunbeam Alpine had a puncture and the Bentley gearbox went again. When John and I stopped to check all was ok the bonnet of our Jeep started smoking. It had a slightly over heated engine which was easily sorted out with 2 and half bottles of engine coolant and over a litre of water. With a rest day tomorrow many participants are planning work that needs to be done on the cars and a bit of a lie in too.

Please leave comments in the mesage board and I will try to reply more often now that I'm up to date and more in the swing of things!
