No, the Mini wasn't mine, that was someone else on the same rally...it was just perfect for the photo though - tiny car in such a vast landscape!
Dec 06/jan 07 - Uk to Gambia in a 1972 standard Beetle (bought for £100, hadn't run for 15 years!)
August 2007 - Uk to Mongolia in a Nissan Micra(someone elses)
and then July - October 2009 - Uk to Australia in a 1969 Baja Beetle
The first Beetle to mount Everest or even to enter Tibet (according to the Nepal Beetle owners club)

Nope, not kidding, I do like my road trips
I think I'm going to do another run to the Sahara desert next winter and then plans for the future may include the pan-american highway or a circuit of south America or the length of Africa. I'm limited on how much time I can take off from my day job though so I'm not sure when I'll be able to do the longer trips.
I also really ought to learn some basic mechanics too!!

Trollstigen is the best!
... oh yes! Trollstigen! That's my favourite. Have a look here. Make sure you do Trollstigen at the very early morning or before sunset. There is an awful lot of tourists in slow motion up and down the narrow road during the day. Mostly camper vans and coaches! During the day, you will not make the Trollstigen in 5 minutes!... Do it 3x or 5x !
For more impressions with a C8 in Scandinavia, see here. Was great fun, but I would never do it in a group. My "no roof policy"(*) makes this impossible for a Nordic country!

(*) "no roof policy" means, I have driven 75,000km without roof to date. I will not give up so early! I want to reach 400,000km with no roof on!Last edited by amzamz; 27-08-2010, 13:12.
