I left wonderful Lebanon behind and the web-page is available again. What was happening during the last days, why was the page closed? If you check last news you'll see two new updates concerning Lebanon, but now the answer about the page:

Already in Syria everybody was surprised because a car like Partner didn't run on petrol. You know my plans about Lebanon – I should leave the car between the two border check-points. But nobody asked about engine-type on Syrian side, it was a cold evening and it was about to start raining, so I forgot about my original plans.

Let's have a closer look in what could have hypothetically happen in the last week: I would temporarily put a petrol engine into the Partner ;-) and we would appear on the border-crossing. Nobody would ask me a question, I would pay taxes, buy a visa, and they would wish me a nice stay in their country.

Due to safety reasons we would still disable web-page access because I would travel around with the web-page address on my car's door and we would not like that a wrong person accessed the web-page with interest to see what "this guy's doing in Lebanon". If we keep on with this hypothetical story, not even on gas stations they wouldn't believe that I'm putting diesel-fuel into a "petrol engine". They would smell the tank-cover and look surprised at me. I would have luck that Peugeot's HDi engine runs so smoothly and silent.

But even if I would have entered the country with my normal diesel Partner I would be hoping not to provoke ecological catastrophe to the country with Partner's EURO 3 engine while driving through suffocating smoke, coming out of local trucks and taxis. I could explore Lebanon more efficiently by car than by bike (bearing in mind the limited time available) so I would be able to try to pay-off the damage later with guiding tourist groups to the country (Hey guys, Lebanon is REALLY great, you should visit it once, and I mean it). But as up to now all of us know, I was never in Lebanon with my diesel run car…
