It has been decided to delay the departure of the Raid from Peking until circa August 6th. The main reasons for this are twofold:
1) William Way, mechanicien, requires the extra time to enable the growing of a fully functional moustache.
2) VSCC Loton Park Hillclimb takes place on 23rd/24th June when the raid would originally have been in full-force somewhere between Peking and Paris. This created quite a stir when discovered as it is well-known as one of the finest VSCC events of the year, mostly as it includes an excellent hog-roast on the Saturday evening.
There may also have been some other reason involving Chinese Import Permits but I shall gloss over that for now. This will make the departure of the 2007 raid 100 years and 2 months after the original raid - better than just 100 years some might say.
