Well, what's gone wrong so far, not much actually...

1. Broken wire/connection on Adrian's intercom - still not fixed properly
2. Oil mist collecting in air boxes leaking out of carb inlets after prolonged high-speed running- they all do this sir
3. One fuse blown in torrential rain - replaced
4. Burned hole in arm of Aerostich jacket with exhaust pipe - patched using sleeping mat repair kit
5. Adrian's centre stand leaning increasingly to starboard
6. One temporary misfire attributed to dodgy fuel.
7. One watch strap broken and consequently one watch gone AWOL.
8. One of a pair of twin horns fried after too much use in Ankarra

Well, there's clearly more to this photography lark than we thought, but we're starting to get the hang of Adrian's digital camera after some disappointing initial results.

Regardless, we thought we'd post a few snaps for your obvious pleasure and delight.

Not sure when we'll post next as the availability of internet cafes in the east ot turkey may become sparse, so until the next instalment...

Have I gone deaf, or have the intercoms packed up again?
