Hanuman, aka Car BD 3549, reached a major milestone on 9th August. After months and months of preparing this 1957 Renault 4CV, it was now ready for shipment from Malaysia to Beijing, to partake in the 2010 Peking to Paris Motor Rally Challenge.
But before driving to the Port Klang warehouse, Hanuman visited Sri Kandaswamy Kovil, a Hindu Temple in Brickfields in Kuala Lumpur for a "Car Blessing". A coconut was cracked, jasmine garlands placed on the dashboard, Aum written on the windscreen by one of the three priests conducting the ceremony and finally limes crushed under the wheels.
The start date is Friday 10th September - now for the last minute packing before leaving for Beijing.
