A charity tour for orphan children
Trudy and Dirk Regter from the Netherlands make a world tour in a 1915 Ford Model T, covering all the continents of the world. They make this trip with the aim of collecting money for orphan children worldwide.
So far they have driven 60,000 miles through 31 countries and have raised over $45,000 that is spent on children's projects in South America.
The last part of this journey goes via Asia back to the Netherlands.
If you support the aim of this trip your donation will be highly appreciated.
How close will your route be to Charlotte, NC?
My wife and I own a 1916 T and would love to intersect your route and follow along for a mile or two (if possible)
Hello Michael,
thank you for your invitation.
This moment I really do not know our travel schedule in New Carolina because if we will be there that will be in November of this year. So I will advise you to follow our tour on our website. But when we will be close to Charlotte NC, we will visit you.
Dirk
It would be a great pleasure to have you visit with our Model T group. We are located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Feel free to call me at 505-688-1979.
Michael,
Thank you for your invitation to visit your Model T group, but unfortunately we don’t visit Albuquerque. Our route is to go from El Paso more to the west and than up to Flagstaff.
Dirk

Approximately when will you be going through El Paso? There’s a Horseless Carriage club there and a Model A Ford club in Las Cruces, not too far away. I’ll relay the information to them.
I hope I haven’t missed you. Are you coming to Sydney, Australia? If so, can you give me an idea when this might be. I am a member of a number of car clubs and we would like to make you welcome and arrange some publicity and events with you.
What a fabulous adventure you are on !!!

Hi guys, seen you driving along in my little part of the world today. I live just north of the route you taking today. I live northeast of Indianapolis. Where is highway 67 taking you? And I will now follow your travels. I’m sure you have seen a lot of pretty countryside moving along at a more comfortable pace, have fun and a safe tour. Thanks Barry
Hi there,
We had the opportunity to be camped across from you yesterday in Algonquin park…good luck with your trip…it was a great moment for us to have been able to see you on your travels…
All the best,
Tom
Met you on a rainy day in Monroe, Michigan. Will be following your progress. May all luck be with you. This would be a real dream trip.
Saw on the MTFCA Forum that you will be at Coker Tire this Sunday. You may want to go on south to Moultrie Ga for the big swap meet on Nov 22-24.
Spotted the model-t crossing the Ohio river into Kentucky this afternoon, and that gorgeous support Landy. If you have issues with the defender while in town hit us up at mvlrs.com
Dirk and Trudy, Sorry we missed you in Paris, KY. Have a safe and enjoyable journey.
San and Eleanor
Go up on Sunday and called Dirk and learned that they had spent the night in London, Ky. Just 80 miles south so Eleanor and I made the journey and got to meet to wonderful people. Did not get to spend much time but enough to hand over 2 KY plates.
One of the most enjoyable short trips we have taken.
Eleanor and Sam
What a pleasure it was getting to meet y’all as y’all passed through Warren, AR. My wife and I will be following the rest of y’all’s journey and praying for safe travels.
