Borneo Video Dispatch #1 - Kota Kinabalu

5th April 2009
Kota Kinabalu
We've arrived and are starting the logistic arrangements for three weeks of life on a jungle big wall. Should prove quite the test of all our abilities in having six of us sharing the precipitous environment! Must say I'm very glad for the collective experience of our team, I landed last night after a very quick home turn around following Patagonian time; awoke on the plane feeling a tad disorientated wondering where I was heading on a couple of occasions. Apparently it rains every day here in Malaysia, luckily hasn't just yet but undoubtedly I'll start the cycle having documented such? Feels very hot n' humid which I think makes for a tougher transition for the team members fresh from winter, time in the summer hemisphere for me will hopefully have me more acclimatised. Acquisition of food, water bottles and fuel is the order of the day. Kevin Thaw

It's going to be a rad adventure. Send it! My friend A. who has spent a lot of time in The jungles of Malaysia and Indonesia says that apart from cobras and kraits (fairly rare), be sure to avoid the foot-long poisonous centipede. Best regards.

If you have a favorite one, befriend the sales people so they can give you a heads up when a new batch of used designer duds are shipped. Going into denial will only make matters worse.

Shots clearly show the car initial in a very solitary dark color, then later inside a light color with dark fenders; reportedly it experienced a blue interior. The car originally experienced no side exhaust and had a chrome cowl band with spotlights.
