520    Take a couple of vintage cars and their owners' 
       determination to drive them on a pilgrimage from Australia
       to Finland and you have a fascinating story told through 
       photos and the distillation of blogs and diary entries by 
       some foolhardy, adventurous blokes. Starting out from 
       Thailand, their travels took them through Laos, China, 
       Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, 
       Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Russia and Finland - a six-
       month journey spread over two legs in successive years. 
       Told in an engaging, self-deprecating and personal style, 
       the reader enters the journey, every step of the way: 
       following the ancient Silk Road route into the mountains 
       of south-west and western China and the Tibetan Plateau 
       where Muslim and Buddhist communities have lived for 
       centuries, through the '-stans', and beyond. Many an 
       adventure, impossibly sticky situations, near misses and 
       regular mechanical breakdowns were inevitably resolved 
       with the support and civility towards this motley group of
       travellers in their ancient cars, by locals renowned for 
       their hospitality. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They
       had no sponsor, no professional photographer or filmmaker,
       no journalist to publish the story, no 'name' to add fame 
       and celebrity, no contract in the pocket for a coffee 
       table book with quality photos and deep, or informed 
       historical and cultural insights, and no travelling 
       mechanical workshop. There was just a determination to get
       each of these old cars to Helsinki in one piece and smell 
       the roses along the way.
