Sorry - for one moment, I thought that DAKAR stood for 'Donna and Kid and Rich'

They are awesome! Especially that really steep dune that Ming pointed out.

I would have thought they'd have given up on NO 24. It looks a bit fooked!

Dakar is usually shown on Eurosport at 7.45...and being tightfisted with the Sky contract thats one of the (many) channels I dont get :(

There is a eurosport player though...hmmm

Picture #12 looks just like the drop-off where Guy had his crash recently.
Picture #20 was taken just before the co-driver told me 'These aren't the droids you're looking for.'

Ditto :(

I reckon no.12 has been taken at a very squiffy angle...even rotating it in Picassa gets nowhere near what I reckon is level :)

Wow - those are amazing shots :o Thnaks for sharing :)

Bob - tres drole. Clearly you have too much time!

Oh and we were a long way from where that was happening. I think it started in the North of Chile that's very deserty. We were further down where its more lakey and mountainy.
