Epic collection for Pug lovers from Tunis

[SgtWilson]

Anyone brave enough? Finland is close by comparison. I heard it drive past - you'd be lucky to get out of Tunis. 98 668 127 will get the vendor but Arabic or French probably necessary.

Finland is close by comparison.

 

By which recent geographical phenomenon I didn't register? Tunis was about 500 km closer to Brum than Tohmajärvi last time I checked.

Discounting the ferry from Tunis to Genoa, it's a mere 1,000 mile trip, hardly worth a collection thread since Heidel Kakao kicked

the benchmark into hyperspace.

That would be epic. I wonder how Mrs L would feel, when she realised the holiday flights were one-way, and we were only staying in Tunis for one night of the fortnight?

into morocco head for ceuta then up thru spain

[SgtWilson]

That's the route I'd take. But long ferry trip has the advantage of being able to engage european breakdown recovery as it limped onto the quayside in Genoa.

 

Meanwhile, have an even worse Renault.

[Junkman]

Of course one could also drive from Finland to Brum via Kazakhstan.

Or from Pattensen to Peine via Paris.

I once drove from Munich to London via Kano, but that doesn't count,

since it wasn't a collection trip.

Getting this home on the road (no long ferry passage) would indeed be epic, cause:

 

- east: ISIS  (would work with R20 though)

- south: Procol Harum

- west: border Algeria / Morocco closed since ever..

 

Alternate option, spotted this near Essaouira, Morocco. It's a Diesel!

Actually the eastern route would scare me least, because I don't believe a word of what politicians and the gleichgeschaltete media

tells me and I could pass through Beirut, the city I want to retire to. The only thing that would keep me from doing it is the Austrian

border police. Not because they are scary or indeed imposing, but because they are so terminally stupid.

I have better things to do in life than explaining to them that what I am doing is legal and what they are doing is not over and over again.

I'm sick and tired of it, too.

[Sigmund Fraud]

The only thing that would keep me from doing it is the Austrian border police.

"Passport, please"

"Here you go"

"Oh, I see you visited north africa recently ?"

"Oh, yes... I had bought a tatty 403 pickup truck unseen off Tunisian gumtree for £500. So I flew over to drive it back.

"Drive it back ?"

"Yeah. Sadly, it was completely rotten and snapped in half while I was crossing the desert, but luckily a passing Berber scrap dealer was happy to part-exchange it for an elderly dromedary. The whole trip is on Autoshite, do have a look !"

"On what ?"

"Autoshite... You know... For shite cars...."

"I see. Please park your car in the yellow box over there. My colleagues will escort you to the interrogation room..."

[Junkman]

I wish it would have been this objectively.

 

Usually it started with something completely off the books, like "what is the purpose of your visit to Austria?",

which I then correctly answered with "that's none of your fucking business".

getting their own back for Brexit..LOL

[For Fiats Sake]

Ah, when I was driving to Italy I entered a country (no idea which it was) and was stopped at a sentry point.  Handed over the passport and gave them my destination, after a few minutes of him checking my details I was back on the road again.

I doubt driving across europe will ever be as easy again, thanks to lying anti european politicians.

[Junkman]

getting their own back for Brexit..LOL

For the record: In 1995 my vote was 'no'.

My Dad had a 403 saloon in the mid 70s,when he sold it,he kept the bonnet mascot.I fitted it to my Vespa in the 80s,I've still got it now
