An epic journey across the congo!

Found this story while trawling the depths of the interwebs. It's about a guy and his girlfriend crossing the congo in their Landcruiser. Makes for some interesting and inspiring reading!

Whoa I started reading that and it looks like an amazing place to go, but quite an expensive and risky one! I dont think i would want to drive through the congo, its certainly a very corrupt place! :shock:

yeah doesn't seem like the most pleasant place in the world to go, but I wonder how an SJ/Sami would handle it :lol: since some of the roads he had trouble with wouldn't have been an issue for the lightweight zuk :smokin:
