We met this man from a fellow Mongol Rally team last night - a chance meeting at the finish line at Ulan Ude.

It turned out he has named his soon-to-be-born son Marco after our team!

It follows an encounter we had with him in a traffic jam in the United Kingdom five weeks ago.

We couldn't believe we met them again, and with such a great story.

Paul is holidng the registration plate of 'Roxanne', the 18-year-old Nissan Micra that took them 7,000 miles from the UK to Kazakhstan, but was written off after hitting a rock and overturning two weeks ago near Zharkent.
