Wow...great info ! Renting the caterhams would be fun !
We would like to drive as much as possible so if we see something cool we can just stop and check it out. Obviously there are times when that is not possible. The toughest part of the car scenario is that we would not be returning to our original destination.

What about visas ? It was mentioned that we would need them for Russia,...any other countries that require them ?

The hotel ideas look really great !
