Thread: Around the world in 1011 days

Granted this is old it's the first time I've seen it. SLK on Gwagon running gear........interesting

We did it! We made it! We arrived back in New York, our starting point, on 5 January 2002, just 1101 days since we departed on our round-the-world, Guinness World Record journey -- Paige’s first World Record, Jim’s third Guinness World Record. Passing through 116 countries, we covered more than 245,000 kilometers during our travels, which began in Iceland way back on 1-1-1999. Our non-stop, self-contained, three-year trip in a one-of-a-kind Mercedes-Benz took us to six continents, where our goal was to explore as much of the world as possible at the turn of the millennium, to learn what people and countries were doing and to see how well they were doing it. We met extraordinary and ordinary people, drove through war zones, blizzards, deserts, jungles, faced epidemics, and tasted divine and sometimes horrible food, while covering vastly diverse landscapes, cultures, and societies. Along the way, we documented our experiences and discoveries with photography, video, audio, and written thoughts. So pick a date or a country and ride with us on our Millennium Adventure.

wtf to the car ???
but I would CERTAINLY like to read more & see photos.
Where is the link pal ????

^agreed. Modifying and using that car seems like a enormously unnecessary and strange decision to make. When I think of long distance travel, I dont exactly think SLK.

Agreed! Definitely are a lot more comfortable and practical cars on the road that they could have picked up and modified for this adventure.

I don't want to read more or see more photos of the car - I couldn't care less about that ugly thing.
I was actually referring to the worldwide journey (stories, photos, experiences, etc...)

Sorry if I wasn't quite clear, thx

LMAO at the little trailer behind it

i remember seeing this story years ago. i love the part the guy was offered over a million dollars for it.

Google is the best if you know how to use it....
