    Default drive around the world

    anyone ever think of driving a commodore around the world?

    probably something like this:

    drive to Darwin, by ship to Singapore.
    drive from Singapore to Bankok, Hong-Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Ulaanbaatar, Moscow, Berlin, London, ship to New York, drive to Toronto, Niagra, Detroit, Chicago, route 66 to LA, down the coast to Santiago then home by ship


    not sure when or exactly how, but its a thought hey?

    Buy a brand new VE Calais and avoid desert areas n' stuff then you should be alright. Just drive on roads as much as possible. Jack it up and put 4 wheel drive tires on LOL.

    You could possibly hire an export version of Commodore in every region they are exported to, mind you hiring a hotted up Vauxhall could be a problem in the UK
    If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?

    I worked out that if you could actually drive from here to the UK it would cost over $2500 in petrol. And that's if all the petrol was at Australian prices! Wouldn't want to fill up a Commodore of any sort in Europe!
