Pictures and reports from Maria and Jose de Sousa on their second Peking to Paris rally in a ZA Magnette:

• Preparations
• First testdrive before shipping to Beijing
• We collected the cars yesterday from a warehouse some 30 Km from the Hotel. Scrutineering and final briefing plus last minute preparations took virtually the whole day today and this will be topped up by an official dinner in an hour. Here is the Magnette and the two SA's at the hotel car park this afternoon. The rally start will be tomorrow from 7.30 am at the Wall at Badaling, about 60 Km from here, so an early start...
  Hope to be able to send you some pictures from Day 1, tomorrow night from Daihai.
