I make the call to push to Van for the night. Sadly the next few days have nothing to exciting to see, mainly old roads I have done before so just powered on. It was also Pinas 3rd birthday!! which in cat years is old enough for a beer and some mince which is a treat And...

Well, it had to be done, and with an all clear on the Turkish side for following the importation rules, I am finally able to bring the ol Pajero back home. With a due date of March 11th to be out of Armenia, I had a bit of a tight schedule getting from Cabinda, Angola. with 1 solid day in...

Nice rig, glad to see you are slowly saving it, I highly suggest giving the transmission a service.

Well, I am finally home and able to use the ute. overall a few little issues to iron out. but I did get the rear leafs redone, and also stripped the gear box, and also did some electrical repairs. But with the ol girl up and running we went for a little mountain exploring and tomorrow is another...

Spent sometime in Georgia:

Well, new engine is in, and is hemorrhaging oil.. the machine shop did a bang up job, but the final assembly is a bad joke. which is a shame. so in decemeber the workshop gets to deal with me in hi vis on the floor to ensure its done properly. But we did get out for a little adventure. And...

Well, I have headed to Angola but luckily before I left I got to see the block back from the machine shop. very high quality work. very impressed. Then just today, they delivered it to our place. so she will be ready to roll when we return in 2 weeks.
