Team Name: Yaris i baris (which roughly translates to shirtless in Yaris)
Members: Benjamin, Jonas, Jonas and Nikolai
Vehicle: Toyota Yaris Verso 05, with only 240k km on the odometer
Route: We want to visit as many of the 'stans as possible and also Iran.
Four guys in their mid 20s to very early 30s looking for the adventure of a lifetime. The team consist of a chiropractor, a film&TV-producer, a motorcycle salesman and an embedded manufacturing engineer (I'm not sure what that means, but I know he's very smart).
We just made the Instagram for our trip, which is why I'm shamelessly posting here now. It's very barebones, we just made our first post, but if you want to follow along, here it is https://www.instagram.com/yaris_i_baris26/
(yes, we suck at team photos. As our chiropractor barely made it into the frame. We'll get a better one before the trip probably... Maybe, possibly)
Good Morning Sweethearts. hola and greetings from the Czech Republic, looking forward to the upcoming carnage and adventure at the top of the world with my grilfriend. Can't wait to meet you all.
Hi everyone. We’re 3 friends from UK and India doing the Rickshaw Run from Kochi to Jaisalmer. It’s our first adventure and we’re super excited. We’re doing it to raise funds for Girls Education in Firozabad, India.
Team: Mistakes Were Made arrives as a one-man circus with three unimpressive celebrities and a mini-mini van that resents existing.
Driver: Daryl Daley, semi-retired Canadian, veteran, professionally stubborn.
Vehicle: “Cpl Bloggins – The Mighty Kangoo - Reporting for duty. Unarmed. Unfit. Unqualified.” Smells like old coffee and bad decisions.
Parody Co-pilots: Justin Trudeau, providing 400kg of aerodynamic ego drag; Mark Carney, elbows up, armed with charts and charisma set to airplane mode; Greta Thunberg, the loudest sock puppet in Scandinavia, yelling HOW DARE YOU every time the throttle moves.
Logistics strategy: pray, cable ties, and a laminated apology to border guards.
Nutrition plan: sausage, panic, warm water.
Mechanical plan: break, fix, repeat.
Morale plan: roast the Kangoo until it starts out of spite.
Objective: cross continents while making other teams feel better about their choices.
Contingency plan: none, which is the point.
This is the way.
