A charity tour for orphan children

Trudy and Dirk Regter from the Netherlands go on a world tour in a 1915 Ford Model T, covering all continents of the world. They are making this trip with the aim of raising money for orphans worldwide.

To date, they have driven 64,000 miles across 31 countries and have raised more than $45,000 spent on children's projects in Colombia and Bolivia. An earlier trip by Dirk in 2007 from Beijing to Paris in the Model T raised more than $140,000, of which 2 children's projects were built in Mongolia. The last part of their world tour,about 10,500 miles, takes them back home to the Netherlands via Asia. If you support the purpose of this journey, you can take ownership of some of these 10,500 miles of this final leg.

    om sneller te gaan aan de triangel

    We put the Model-T with a triangel to the landrover, so we will going faster ( about 60 km/hour)
    At 8.45 we leave the first checkpoint and a police car drives in the front and another in the back.

    The distance is more than 230 kilometres. It is 320 kilometres, so after a long day we arrive at 16.30 to our hotel.
    Dirk wants to fix the Model -T. He hear a strange noise.The whole evening he is looking for it.He find the problem of the sound,
    but he find something else too, that he cannot fix here.It is the crankshaftbearing.
    So he will drive on, but how far…he don’t know.
