The Landshark Rally

Want to drive 60,000 miles around the world in a 25-year old car? I do, after talking to a high school friend of mine tonight. (The car has to be 25 years old to avoid US import restrictions.)

In the spirit of the Mongol Rally, he and his friends have invented the Landshark Rally – crisscrossing the world by car. No support crew, of course, just grit and determination and dumb luck to see you through. They’re warming up for it with a Rickshaw Run, taking a motorized rickshaw from the southern India all the way north to Kathmandu, Nepal.

It’s time for me to do something stupid, too. I’ve been sitting on my ass maintaining a very happy lifestyle – it’s time to pick up the pace, get a business going, and start adventuring.

Watch out world, I’m reinspired.
