Minor issues getting through the desert as Hugh put it! At least the Volvo is still going well!

He drives like he rides his mountain bike. We spent most of the time pealing him off mountain sides in wales :lol:

Spot on, knew the 360 could make it, even with the abuse of the desert! Be interesting to see the pics when he gets back and hear the stories! Good work mate!
