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.

    Report 3 and 4 July

    Posted on 4 July 2014 by DirkJan

    Report of 3 and 4 July
    Report by Benno en Thecla

    Dirk thinks about controlling the new bearing cap to see how it looks after 1000 kilometres. What happens if two pigheaded mechanics have both their own different theory.
    My own quantum physics convince says that the observer has influence on the matter.
    Thus Trust!!
    Dirk doesn’t agree and gave his distrust the advantage of doubt. We bet.
    Early starts Dirk with to disassemble while I look to the many little budgies that are on the campground. The head bearing cap looked perfect luckily. Pfff.

    For diversion we go to the museum of the senor of Sipan. A pre Inca tomb which have five dynasties. Dirk and Trudy have both get a cold and Dirk feels now more relaxed because of the good-looking bearing cap. To give both a better feeling, Thecla and I go to the Mercado de Brujo. We ask there a sjamaan with his monkey heads and condor feathers a curing dance to do. It works! After a night sweating they feel both much better and go we on after two days.

      Hallo Dirk ,Trudy en het volg team , Dirk, ik zit me suf te verzinnen waarom er stukjes uit het voorste hoofd lager breken. Als ik de foto goed bekijk is er verder geen noemenswaardige slijtage te zien [op de foto].Een paar dingen spelen door mijn hoofd, 1- hoe is het met de aan hechting tussen babbit en de cap, en 2- wat is de dikte van het babbit, en 3- Als er weinig slijtage is ,waar kwam dan het geluid van daan.Het voorste hoofd lager is juist dat lager dat volgens mij het minste te verduren heeft. Maar het ziet er nu goed uit !!!!!
      Goede reis , we volgen je.
      Ditty en Toon
