Safari Rallyt; More on monday.

Car No. 12 Bo Axelsson
The rear axle on the crew´s Escort has been re-built by the Historic Rally Sport mechanics and they have re-started this morning.

Car No 18 Jayant Shah and Lofty Drews
Head gasket number three went on the 260Z on the way out of Nairobi on day 2. They missed the first competitive section but finished the other two. They are starting again today and hoping for no more head gasket changes, or indeed other problems as their service crew had their hands full with the service lorry, stuck in the service park and needing a new clutch.

Car No. 19 Paul and Mary Ellen Kane
The Mustang´s suspension sustained damage in the second section. It was fixed in the section but they then drove straight to Naivasha, missing the third section. "It was a shame," said Mary-Ellen. "But we´ve done too many rallies to let these things affect us. And while we were waiting in the section we had an amazing time meeting all the local people. For me it was a great experience."

Car No 29 Aslam Khan
The Escort went off on second section on day 2 and damaged the front suspension and steering. They missed the third section but have re-started today.

Car No. 30 Hardev Singh Sira
After the transmission problems of day one, the Peugeot 504 Coupe finished all three competitive sections on day 2 and started today.

Car No 31 Imi Dewji
In the second section the clutch failed when the 260Z got stuck in a river crossing. They managed to finish the section, completed the next but were very late into Naivasha. The team will be not compete in today´s sections in order for the clutch to be rebuilt and they will hopefully restart tomorrow.

Car No 44 Neil McGrigor
The crew finished all three sections yesterday and have started today´s sections.
