Q: Anyone here ever thought about driving back to Europe ?
I read a piece about a Englishman who drove from Shanghai to Moscow and on to London in the 1920s.
Anyone here ever thought about doing it?
7 years 28 weeks ago in Arts & Entertainment - China
I haven't thought about driving - but certainly training.
Trans-Siberian, then from Moscow to Istanbul, then across the rest of Europe,
Are you setting-up new e-Titties bash? 
No, I wasn't thinking about EU. I had Ozz and New Zealand in me mind....
it would be noteworthy for sure! Tape it and get BBC to make it into a documentary. I'm guessing in the 1920's people weren't driven crazy about visa's, which would probably be the biggest difficulty one would face trying to do it these days. But honestly, I didn't think cars were very advanced in the 1920's,,, surprised any of them could make that run! but,,, I don't know much about cars.
anyway, go for it, and document it!
*but it would be cooler on motorcycles,,, BMW I suggest.

is there a way we could drive "you" back to where you came from?? never to be seen or heard from again? joking
I would consider doing it on a motorcycle during nice weather. Would be the trip of a lifetime.
I did a trip with a Venezuelan student on motorcycles for the summer 1983 from San Diego to the bottom of South America, but America and Nicaragua were having a problem and my American passport got us in jail, but my friends father was a diplomat, so after 2 days we were released to finish the Pan American Highway to the bottom.
Is there a path to Europe that does not cross a predominately Muslim country, I'm game, let's do it this summer.
