Peking-Paris 2013 rally goes through Siberia

Last weekend we were on a trip to Altay and got lucky to meet the Peking-Paris 2013 Motor Challenge. It was the 12th day of the rally, the contestants had crossed the Mongolia-Russia border and were driving through Altay. We were peacefully cooking shashlyk at a small river near the road when some very exceptional vehicles started to pass by.

#6 Bentley 3-4½ 1927

#8 Bentley 4½ 1928

#12 Buick 25X 1929

#30 Chevrolet Fangio Coupe 1937

#15 Ford Model A Speedster "Betsy" 1929

#10 MG TC 1948

Weather was perfect: hot and sunny. However, there's still snow in the mountains and nights are quite chilly. And indeed, a lot of stars.
