Back street mechanics

Finally in Dakhla! time for some rest and reorganisation. Our first mission was to empty our mobile skip which had slowly filled with rubbish, then find another spare wheel for the desert. After much hunting we found a street full of workshops where a friendly mechanic tried to find us a wheel, after a couple of failed attempts it was decided to customise a mercedes wheel by drilling out the centre to make it fit. We jumped into his clapped out Renault 4 for a whistlestop tour of the back streets, rather worringly every wokshop approached to modify our wheel thought the idea insane and refused, luckily one workshop with less regard for health and safety agreed to do it and we are now the proud possesors of a custom built wheel, all for 30 euros! All we need now is a tyre, preferably bald and ready to blow out, shouldnt be too tricky!
