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.

Buy your miles and thus contribute to a better future for orphans.

    April 28th Shipping cars to Cartagena

    Posted on 29 April 2014 by DirkJan

    Ready for shipping to Cartagena, Colombia.
    The last month Dirk prepared the Model T for our trip through South America.
    He changed the piston rings, made an extra air-filter on the carburetor and checked the whole car for this more than 15.000 miles tour through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chili, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
    We will start this leg of our worldtour at the end of May and because it takes about 4 weeks to get the cars from Holland to Colombia, today we put both cars in the container at the harbour of CTVrede in Zaandam, Holland.
