Amazing stuff.... Basic engineering at its best. No ECU, no 10 zillion sensors... And just keeps on going.

Very interesting man too.. Incredible dedication.

That is the most amazing story I ever read of overlanding. Only a German :pac:

Sadly it can't ever be repeated, so many of those countries can't be visited today.

I wanted to drive to Johannesburg - where my other half is from, but I've more or less accepted (after extensive reading) that it isn't possible anymore.

driving a g wagon through north korea is probably something that has only ever and will only ever be done by this lad, fair play to him for managing that one.
