On October 15th Trevor and I will be flying to India to participate in the Karma Enduro driving a Hindustan Ambassador -that's the Indian manufactured vehicle based on the 1956 Morris Oxford.

Sixty teams are entered and we are all supplied with similar cars. The route sounds fantastic, contrasting scenery and of course the 'excitement' of driving on the roads where road rules seem to be used at will, or mostly not at all.

Found an Ambassador in Wales to measure up for my pedal extensions and when they are finished I will take with me to India.

I'll update and let you know how we are progressing.

Look at www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring from 18th October for our progress update.
