I promised a roll of honour. Here it is:

I would like this message to be read by all who are mentioned on it, and anyone else who supported us in any way shape or form. Most of the people the following list deserve an enormous thank you and a large amount of respect for their contributions to our experience of the Mongol Rally 2009, so if you meet them, shake their hand firmly.

TEAM DON’T PANIC - MONGOL RALLY 2009 - ROLL OF HONOUR

Ed Thompson, Leo Thompson, and Matthew Tinsley would like to thank:

Vanessa: A very fast Fiat Brava 1.2. RIP 2000-2009.

People on the rally deserving special mention:

Tom Walker, Matt Winning and Rachel Dunbar of ‘Team MattNav and TomTom’, with whom we convoyed from Germany to Mongolia; Pam, their Skoda Felicia 1.3 MPI.

George Davies and Junho Scott of ‘Two Guys with PMS (Peninsula Medical School)’ with whom we convoyed since Turkey, who dragged / pushed Vanessa to reach one of the drop off points in Mongolia; Tazmina, their Suzuki Vitara 1.6.

Ario Faharani, Felix Newman & James Johnston, the London lads who very kindly swapped their Suzuki Vitara for two packs of luckies.
