You have to get to the end only with the spares you take in the truck. We have Portugueses, Spanish, French and hope to have at least 5 UK teams. Martin Stainer, Paul Bass (Challenger4x4), Jim Marsden (Gigglenpin4x4) are some of the names we expect to have between us. You will for sure enjoy the country, the people, the food and of course the wine/SUPER BOCK. And a great time offroading. Filipe Santos

Hello Adrian, I did 6th, but i drove very bad. My co-pilote was quite angry with me. I need to make more competition. But i had an fantastic time, i even did of co-pilote and the friends from UK where very nice. Paul, Graham, Martin, Jim, Sweden and Jim co-pilote and most of all the "caneca de cerveja" where quite a "friend". I hope to see all of you very soon. Filipe Santos

I'm note sure i understand this line of words, they don´t seem very nice, but it must be my bad English. Filipe Santos Estrada Real

Looking forward to see this guys in the BIG TRUCK , with the Champagne Botles and receving the 1st Price!!!! Everyone clapping!! Filipe Santos

Lucy, any more news? Paul, nev, Andy and Adi, how are they?? First i hope! Filipe Santos Portugal

Paul, last year, the trailer park was in the city, and our north and south parks, were very far. You must have someone that drives the 300 tdi in the parks of the competition. I think, that there is no way for you to acess all days to the trailer park in the city. We add an extra car, that our friends used to drive everydays to the city and bring us the fuel, there where 40 km and we only saw them if we arrived early in the camps, witch was only in 2 days. The others, they leave the fuel and in the morning, we had already left when they arrive. This was becouse they did not sleepe in the camps. During the competition, we carried all the spares we had. In the fuel car, there where only a few things left. You make 100 km during one day, so, if you neede a spare part, you would better have it with you. I hope i helped. It is a great competition, freandly peopel, and amazing site seing. Enjoy. Filipe Santos - Portugal http://estradareal08.blogspot.com/

Police made the STOP, then 2 guys in the back tried to open the truck while the driver was speaking to police.

I hope that the Lady from the hotel in Deva, still is so ""FRIENDLY"" to all of you, most of all, to Adrian Turner... Adrian, try to loose the keys from the room, and ask for a spare one.... You will see how nice she is... P.s. Be carefull in driving in Romenia, and don´t drive in the night. Last year, our truck when comming home, was stopped and they tried to take the cars.. Filipe Santos

This Year, Portugal will not be representet, so my favourite teams are my friends from UK. Good Luck!!!

I hear it is raining. .. a lot...... But you still have 3 more weeks....
