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.

    October 11 and 12 – day 112 and 113

    Posted on 12 October 2012 by willy

    Thursday 11 and Friday 12 october

    Today is a day of working on the Ford, probably tomorrow also.

    This is because of the broken fusee yesterday, Dirk wants to check all the wheels, and change also the right fusee.

    The LandRover needs also a modification. The protection plate of the rear cardan needs to be modified. Is was bumping the fuel tank.

    Dirk has changed also the tube of the airfilter, now the filter is almost direct on the carburator. This in combination with the re routed fuel pipe must result in a good running T.

    After fixing this we make a test ride, and he runs perfect!

      Inderdaad een vreselijk gezicht, dat wiel eraf. En jullie blijven er maar blijmoedig uitzien! Echt chagrijnig worden jullie volgens mij niet gauw. Ik vind het erg knap en ben trouwens ook vol bewondering voor de technische en kooktechnische hoogstandjes!
      Goede reis verder. Alvast gefeliciteerd met Willy!
      Liefs, Karen en Jan

      Goh, net bij het verslag van een paar dagen geleden op opmerking gemaakt over Dirk z’n sleutelk nog niet gelezen dat het fordje gewoon door z’n wiel zakte.
      Dat zal toch wel een heel raar gezicht zijn geweest. Doet me denken aan dat we in Frankrijk een keer werden ingehaald door een wiel van de Tford zelf (toegegeven: klinkt raar, maar is echt gebeurd). Wat een ‘mazzel’ dat het gebeurde bij het wegrijden. Zoiets moet je niet hebben met flinke gang en/of met veel verkeer om je heen. Jullie mogen Kees wel even bedanken, of ‘doet-ie’ het alleen in de Landrover?
      Dit was wel even heel erg serieus sleutelen jongens.
      Geweldig hoor dat het ter plekke gemaakt kon worden. En dat ik met m’n vorige opm. gelijk had, heb je maar weer eens bewezen Dirk. Wat ben je toch een kanjer! Maar je had natuurlijk deze keer wel hulp van een goede 1e monteur.
      Leuk om te zien hoe de sfeer er toch in blijft zitten, want alles er omheen ziet er gezellig uit. Veel sukses weer verder!
