    Default Driving from Singapore to London

    Hi All,

    Something I heard about a while ago and thought about doing when I had the time/cash to do it was to drive from Singapore to London. Wouldn't mind giving it a try with the Adventra (190kw), probably not the best car to use as parts might be a bit hard to source along the way if I need them, but then that could all be part of the adventure (no pun intended).

    Any thoughts - please don't be cruel

    My only thoughts are 'wow'.

    Thats a pretty insane journey... as you said, considering the distance yo will be covering a car that has local parts might be a safer option. But in theory as long as nothing breaks, an advendura should eat it up no worries.

    Good luck mate!

    get yourself a hilux in singapore do it in a hilux! unbreakable. but when the unthinkable does come to pass, at least you can source parts no matter where you are. then sell the thing when you get to the UK... hmm you've given me ideas

    All good suggestions, I probably wouldn't veer too much away from sealed roads though - mind you I have no idea what I will encounter - just sounds like an awesome thing to do.
