Thread: Driving to Japan............

  1. #1

    Default Driving to Japan............

    Would this be a really bad idea ??

    I reckon it's about 6 thousand miles, but still what a road trip.

    Nurburgring lap time 8:38 - Honda NSX (sport auto, 08/97)

    NSX will not be the best car for the trip. You'll need "escorts" not of the long legged type along some points. It will take a long time.

    But it will be an epic journey the like of which Phileas Fogg will be proud of!!!

    Cheers,

    Ary

    lol!! was just thinking the same. Simom I'll lend you the Nissan Elgrand or X5 or even a Lorry if you want to bring stuff back for everyone.

    It would be a great trip though and you could possibly do your own video of the journey.

    'IF' I did it, it would be in the NSX and in time for the NSX Fiesta 2009 if there is one.

    Unless rough roads, reckon NSX would be great - ultimate road trip.

    'm that mad I'd be up for that if I could get the time off work of course. But as has been said there are countries that are not easy to travel through. See teh probs Ewan McGregor had in "Long Way Round". They needed armed escorts for some and then all the visas etc.

    As much as it sounds like the trip of a million lifetimes...................just too much hassle.

    yeah, I reckon we could get maybe 3 NSX in a C130, BUT in a C17, now then we could double that, maybe even 8 at a push.
