The route will be changed depending on current problems in surrounding areas but.

France, Belgium, Germany, Czech republic, slovak, Romania ,Bulgaria, Turkey and probably Iran.. But subject to change.
Is been in planning for the past year and will take a min of another year.

I used to drive to Iran several times a year many moons ago , when even eastern turkey was bandit country from the kurds, and the roads were really crappp from Istanbull east , ruote i used to take was, Ostende through to Germany, Austria , Yugoslavia Bulgaria ,and through Turkey via Ankara and Ezerum to Iran

Now there is no Yugoslavia but the cities we used to go via were Zagreb Belgrade and Sofia chatted to my cousing a few years back that still does this journey and he still uses that same route , he says there no problems now thet the wars are over in that area

just take plenty of dirty mags just incase , we used to have to pay the police off with them in those days , it was still under the iron curtain then , and the speeding currency was parade and penthouse


regards loz

Cheers Loz, i do a couple runs to Russia each year but as im "working" the currency is usually hard cash,
the same way i have to pay off the Germans and French at times!

So do you reckon Loz.....Parade and Penthouse are still real currencies in the EU countries.....or soon will be......

Do you mean simple fines, or are the boys in blue, and the boys in green on the take?

There on the take, epically around Xmas time!, they pull u over for some made up "fine" then negotiations start.

Russians are the funniest though I'm usually over there in a coach, coaches are limited to 62 mph or 100km. (same speed depending if speedo is in km or mph) they start with " we have photo graphic proff you were doing 140 km down so and so road that's a 100 euro fine, ( they like to fine you in euros ) so you say no theres no way I was doing that speed... They take a minute then say sorry translation error 120km so we do you deal 75euros. This goes on for a bit then you aggre on a 25euro fine or such like, you have to give them something or thy will keep u there all day.

You want to try Nigeria, they start as soon as you land and go to be stamped in to the country, then it's every step you take from then on!!!
