In 2012 Molly spent 3 weeks charging round Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, covering 6500 km.
She came back to the UK and went for a rebuild by Gantspeed Engineering.
This was followed by a shake down tour round France.
Then she went to Dave Higgins rally school in Wales. Dave taught me how to drive on forest stages and very rough roads. I think Molly coped better than me.
Back to Gantspeed for oil change and what is know as a spanner check. This was all in preparation for The Cape Horn Challenge 2013 where Molly tackled some 7000 km of terrible roads, forest stage type stages and general abuse. The only car not to have any mechanical problems !
Molly was meant to be back in the UK in January 2014 but because of the appalling weather in South America she did not arrive until 24th Feb. Loading date for her to go to South America was 17th of March.
This gave Gantspeed approx. 14 working days to rebuild Molly again.
The boys at Gantspeed did an amazing job and Molly arrived at Cars Europe on the very last day for loading. Phew! Thanks to Gantspeed and Cars Europe.
Molly at the finish in Cape Horn very battered and bruised
Molly 14 days later already to go to Southern Africa
