Roadtrip 2009? Good question. Ideas are being thown about trying to figure out where to go. It has been decided that it has to be somewhere far away and far fetched. Places like Petra, Jordan have been mentioned. If you have any ideas or would like to be involved please email me.

I have got the new roadtrip car!
Well I don't get it until next weekend but I've got it coming in part ex next weekend against a Boxster. It's a 1998 Mercedes E320 Elegance that has covered only 53,000 miles with only 2 owners from new so it's very low mileage. Should be a nice car to cruise down to Athens in. See run to the sun for more information!

Due to an incident it looks like I will be loosing my license for 9 months as of June 10th (FYI gayest punishment ever), so in light of this I intend to do a 2008 roadtrip in either April or May. If you would like more information on this trip or would like to join me please check under the future trips seciton of this website.
I have made this website to document the totally random trips I have done and indeed trips that I will be doing in the future.
I have started to do a write up on my trip in Feb'07 where I drove to the most Northernly point in Europe which is at the very top of Norway several hundred miles North of the Arctic circle at a place called Nordkapp. I did this trip in my Jeep Grand Cherokee and experience temperatures as low as minus 40*c during the day and night temps even lower. The Arctic climate in winter is a completely alien enviroment.
Once I have done that I will begin writing about the roadtrip in the Volvo S80 T6 that took place in July'07 where we drove through Germany in Czech, then onto Poland, down to Hungary, and into Romania, and back via Croatia.
I will also do write ups of memorable Nurburgring trips, a day in Koln, driving to Prague and back for no reason, visiting the Alps in Nov'06 and seeing parts of Slovakia that I'm sure no one ever sees.
Also I will complete a write up of the latest trips being planned including this years first trip which I hope to do in April, I will try and detail the trip to Mongolia I hope to do at some point in my life.
