Molly Porsche our 1958 356 A, has behaved perfectly which is more than can be said for the driver and navigator who managed to miss a small turning while we were busy trying to stop the alarm going on one of the many stop watches Julie seems to have acquired from very friendly competitors.
Julie looks very professional with at least 3 stop watches hanging from her neck.
One we can't make go, one we can't stop the bloody alarm going off and the third one is actually showing the right time.
We don't know the results for today's tests, but it doesn't really matter. We have had a fantastic day with blue skies and just the most stunning scenery.
We have been told that the best is yet to come, can't wait.
The roads are all pretty good but just to spice it up HERO have included some gravel sections, these are very good compared with the roads we covered in South America.
The wind here is very strong and with Molly Porsche being so light we do have the odd excursion across the road. This is not a problem because there are very few other cars on the road.
Molly Porsche is the only porsche 356A on the rally. There are a few 911s, one of which I tried to buy and was beaten to it. The car was prepared by Tuthill Porsche and goes like stink. The lucky owners, Jan and Alan, will also be on the trans USA rally with us next year.
Looking forward to day two of the HERO Icelandic Saga.
