I started reading this and immediately realised my mistake. A race report from
El Plodder Poderoso requires the proper preparation. I therefore repaired to the kitchen, constructed a massive bacon sandwich and returned with it to the man cave. Choosing a suitably appropriate timeless classic from the LP collection (The Eagles'
Hotel California) I settled in for a good read.
And wow, what a read! Intrigue, mighty deeds, seedy bars and blatant daylight criminal activity (if only morally) with its Andalusian backdrop - worthy of Hollywood (or at least Glaconman-wood). Even the mysterious photo with half-ex-pat-man at the edge highlights this as perhaps the most enigmatic race report to ever grace this forum.
It also explains the ...
reticence of Sweder's posts about the expedition.
Nice work SP - this immediately goes into my
Timeless & Classic RC Writings collection!
