Just a couple of days ago I stumbled upon a picture of Ford Endeavour on a social networking website with caption Kerala To U.K Road Trip. It left my jaw drop wide open for a while and sparked obvious curiosity to know more. Miracles happen and how! Next day I found myself sitting with our friend Mr.Baiju Nair (Editor of Smart Drive) who is undertaking this ‘endeavor’ along with a couple of his buddies – Suresh Joseph and Lal Jose (Indian Film Director). He shared several nice insights about the entire tour.
Here are some of them:
> This roadtrip will be honored with an entry in the Limca Book of Records.
> The Grand India – U.K Trip will begin this June. Team will return to India in August.
> Government of Kerala has fully supported in this initiative and sponsored for this entire trip.
> The cost of this trip is more than what one could imagine. In short, one could buy a high-end luxury car for that money.
> The team has chosen a second hand Ford Endeavour 4x4 Automatic for this initiative. It’s fully stock with no modifications.
> According to Mr.Baiju, one of the toughest parts was obtaining the Visa for all the nations. But they've successfully overcome this challenge.
> The route will be through Nepal (Not Pakistan since Indian cars are not permitted to enter there and vice versa). Other countries include China, Kazakhstan, Russia etc.
