All the best plans!
All the best plans never seem to work out! I never made it down to pick the car up on Monday as I was let down by my lift being 4.5 hours late. I felt 5pm was a little late to be setting off down the road. Plan is to get the car next Monday now - will see.
Have been using my time wisely today. I have just secured an MP3 stereo for the journey. Also bought all the components for the split battery charging system and all the wiring required for the extra lights and other electrial modifications. My roofrack arrived (purchased from ebay). Is Aluminuim and a great bargain at £0.99!! Have just this afternoon e-mailed a local company about sign writing as it looks like I may have been let down by the original comany who promised to do the stickers for free. I have also got fed up waitng for my letters of invitation for Kazakh and Russia. Apparently as we are taking a car in to Russia the invite has to come from Moscow? I have no idea! Anyway, as time is pressing on now, I decided to do my Mongolian Visa today. So I have sent my passport and form off, along with £45. Will wait to see what arrives! Not long to go now and a lot of things to do. I wrote a list today and tell you what, it is scary all the paperwork that needs doing.
Comments:
Sounds like bollocks to me mate. Wjhy would an invite need to come from Moscow beacuse of a car. Can come from any Russian business. i.e. a Russian travel agents in the UK can write you one in a day. Let me know the company your using for invites, cause i'm going to avoid using them for kazakhstan.
It is Stantours. He is a nice guy and it was cheap. Doesnt matter anyway now as I dont have a passport as the mongolians have it!
We got our Russian LOI today, all clearly marked with the Car and the registration number. Officially stamped and everything, at least you get something for £15!
