A3: Most important is to stay positive & take it with humor! Then you already have good chances that it will turn out good and in a great story afterwards.
It also keeps your mind clear, which helps to find a solution! #TTOT https://t.co/LRV7dbAvFq

replying to @tangenghui @tangenghui It was strange that the engine still ran without the key, so I didn't realized that I lost it. Then my friend was able to turn my bike off, but not on again with his key. Luckily he knew how to start it with the wires. But at the second time it didn't work. #ttot

@tangenghui ...as we touched the metal with a wire. So a fuse burnt out. And in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by mines, you don't find a shop who sells fuses. ;-)
Luckily the bike had 2-3 spare fuses & one fitted. 😀
So we continued to drive to the ghost town. #ttot

replying to @TravelDudes @tangenghui On the way back, we realized that we couldn't open the fuel tank without key. So I had to drive extra fuel saving. When we arrived at the next city, a mechanic was able to swap the fuel tank cap for $5. I'm sure it was a good deal for him, too. :-) #ttot

A4: Depending on where you are, it might be very useful to have a satellite phone with full batteries. Maybe even a little solar charger?
Then you can always ring for help, if the situation should get very dangerous. #ttot https://t.co/gVm334ep9O

@gringom @tangenghui Good one!
And it's wise to choose the type of car wisely at the first place! Make sure to take a model which is quite common, so that it's easy to find mechanics and spare parts. #ttot

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @StevenOnTheMove A1 I had rented a classic 1968 Pontiac GTO and when it broke down in a Taco Bell car park, unlike when perhaps you rent a normal car and one or two people would help, loads of people wanted to help, had about 10 people around me. It turned out the carb had flooded. #TTOT

@TravelDudes I did consider getting a satellite phone since some of the destinations I visit might not have mobile networks coverage.
