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.

    Friday July 8th

    Posted on 8 July 2013 by DirkJan

    This morning we had to hand in the Harleys again, a really sad moment…

    We had to be at the rental before noon, and we arrived ad 11.57 a.m.; perfect timing!

    Allen is waiting for us at the rental and brings us back ‘home’.

    The neighbor is around with his horses, he asks Joris if he would like to ride. Joris has been talking about that for two weeks… so YES!

    It takes some time getting used to the horse but after some laps he goes like a rocket!

    In the evening we go to the ‘Knotty Pine’ where Dirk will give a presentation.

    We put the Model T and the Land Rover on the parking lot and put the rooftent up so the visitors can have a good look.

    People with beautiful cars come by, in some of them we can have a ride. In the picture you see the hotrod of Dex, a living legend in the hotrod scene. He lives in Australia and drove races all around the world. In this Model B he holds his hat and drives very fast!!

    We also drive in Allen’s Triumph TR03.

    After the presentation the owner of the restaurant hands a check over for SOS Children’s villages. 250 dollars, that is nice!
