Rubicons going round the world.

[Stumblinman]

So I rambled across this. The German guy, Mattias Jeschke with his group Extrem Events who made the automobile altitude record by driving Rubicons up a Chilean Volcano



is currently on a worldwide expedition from Paris to New York.

So far from the website it seems they are stuck on MT/Rs in the snow somewhere in Russia. When asked why they were still spinning on MT/Rs instead of going to more worthy tire they were quoted "But I got a really good deal on them..." OK that is only partly true because I couldn't get a quote on record... It looks like they're coming through Fairbanks sometime in the summer. But that is after they strap pontoons to their Jeeps and try to float across the Bering Strait !


I think this is the same route my mail usually takes.


Yep and I thought those propellar hitch covers were a little much.
I wonder what the idea behind the double winch setup was...
