Lala81 Hypersonic August 28, 2019 Share August 28, 2019 https://mothership.sg/2019/08/singapore-couple-travel-europe-van/ Traveling to Europe in a van. I wonder if they are bringing spares, engine oil, spare parts etc etc etc. While a jap van is easy to service in this part of asia, it may not be common where they are going. ↡ Advertisement 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitvip Supersonic August 28, 2019 Share August 28, 2019 36 minutes ago, Jamesc said: Good idea. This van no COE one. The van which they sourced from Malaysia is quite old, easily more than 15 years. It seems they never mentioned about doing up the engine. Hope it is not using timing belt. Another thing which they mentioned was the air-con, after topping up the gas, it was running well. I believe there must be a leak some where. Topping up the gas does not solve the problem! Wishing them a trouble free expedition! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanCoe Hypersonic August 28, 2019 Share August 28, 2019 Its not going to be an easy ride, dangers will be there but quite impressed with them that they are taking this path with so much excitement and she cant even drive a manual gear (what happens if her hubby fall sick or something liddat) I guess they will abandon the vehicle at the end of the journey ?? 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing them all the luck. there are two well-established car crossing points from Thai to Cambodia. Thought of going but I figured I prefer to roam around the highlands of north thai. btw I just got back from a short trip up to prachuap kiri khan and ratchaburi. Will share pics when I hv time. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged September 3, 2019 Share September 3, 2019 this one really YOLO. while some have expressed support for them, i tend to think otherwise . mainly because my guess is that they stop giving allowance to parents. secondly i don't really think it is going to be enjoyable trip if traveller have to keep minding the cost and budget. thirdly as i think, any breakdown of the van is going to be messy. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
