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 :thumbsup:

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!

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.

Was a VN Executive 5.0, but now a Ford Laser Auto.
Plan it out on Google first! And better have an epic GPS...
