After months and months of preparing this 1957 Renault 4CV, it&nbsp; was now ready for shipment from Malaysia to Beijing, to partake in the 2010 Peking to Paris Motor Rally Challenge.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINih4chHiI/AAAAAAAAAAk/72iRLzQrVjY/s1600/P8090175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINjVz8xc4I/AAAAAAAAAA8/1rcrtxnUHAE/s1600/P8090175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINjVz8xc4I/AAAAAAAAAA8/1rcrtxnUHAE/s320/P8090175.JPG" /></a></div><br />But before driving to the&nbsp; 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.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINje8Q1whI/AAAAAAAAABE/RQMTjl1uTiw/s1600/P8090201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINje8Q1whI/AAAAAAAAABE/RQMTjl1uTiw/s320/P8090201.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINjmg6j3LI/AAAAAAAAABM/1B6979jX1hg/s1600/P8090200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINjmg6j3LI/AAAAAAAAABM/1B6979jX1hg/s320/P8090200.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br />The start date is Friday 10th September - now for the last minute packing before leaving for Beijing.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINjuf-3IkI/AAAAAAAAABU/db-hCcQi5i4/s1600/P8090218.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lt9z4LBYxKQ/TINjuf-3IkI/AAAAAAAAABU/db-hCcQi5i4/s320/P8090218.JPG" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7193329839883525364-1135284947776391641?l=4cvcar89.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Diana Cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01982627099520086264noreply@blogger.com83
