Explanation of pictures

As you may have read in the General Chat area of the Practical Classics chat forums, PC feature writer Matt Jones is embarking on a mad and frankly ridiculous trip to Africa in two Trabants. He is sending regular picture and text updates to this web page via his mobile phone. The picture below shows PC contributor Sam Glover at Heathrow Airport, shortly before they took off for The Gambia.

For more info on the trip go to the chat forums, click on General Chat, and look for the thread 'Rather Foolish Practical Classics Road Trip.'
