I'm wondering how many of you have missed this because it was posted in the Panda section. A member of the forum (Jim aka e505jpy) and his friend Alan set out from Belfast to travel to Morocco and back in a £120 1991 Fiat Panda.

So far we've had engine swaps, multiple breakdowns, an abudction and a ransom demand. It's turning into a bit of an adventure.

I'm writing a journal on our club website and Jim is sending MMS photos using his phone. It's worth a read. It all gets interesting when they arrive in Morocco. They won't be home until next week so there is a bit to go yet.

Details here;

Bloody hell, that's more than a bit of an adventure!

Brave men, pass on the Forum's best wishes!

Will do.

that is crazy but at the same time makes me wonder whether its possible to do it in a cinq. id love to atempt something like that

Why? Are you mentally unstable as well.

The Panda is a Spanish registered 4X4. I wonder if anyone would notice if they switched the plates from Sylvia?

thats a good idea offer them a part x and drive it out,
cant you get out of morocco with out going through border controls anyway?

If they catch you they shoot you.

not mental just up for that kind of challenge

the mental one is me, i want to drive across america in a panda selecta, just because Jim said he wanted to. just think, we could have a panda convoy

Christopher, he's serious about that. He wants to hire a container to take two Pandas across to the US and then drive coast to coast!
