In 2013, the couple drove through the USA and Canada, crossing 22 states during their 17,000-mile, 180-day road trip. In 2014, they ticked off another 16,000 miles through South America in a further 180 days.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the Model T was involved in an accident when it returned to Europe. However, the couple plan to continue their journey through New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia and India, crossing the Himalayas to China, through Mongolia and back to the Netherlands via Central Europe during 2016 and 2017. The Regters\u2019 Ford Model T is unaltered from its standard 1915 factory specification, with the exception of its larger tires for the wooden-spoked wheels, making the ride softer for long journeys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the border of South Africa and Botswana we met a farmer who had an old Ford Model T in the shed,\u201d Dirk said. \u201cHe gave us a tire off it as a gift to help us on our way. In Africa, we had to weld a broken front wheel at the local blacksmith. I\u2019m pretty handy, and a screwdriver, hammer, some duct tape, tie wraps and tensioning straps go a long way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-719755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161861_95800for_A_100-year-old_Ford_Model_T_is_on_a_challenge_to_drive_around_the_world-1-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-719754\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1-75x100.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1-770x1027.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1161870_95800for_The-couple-plan-to-continue-their-journey-later-this-year-1-293x391.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 100-year-old Ford Model T is continuing its challenge to drive around the world.

Brad continues to leave a trail of envy and exhaust fumes behind him wherever he goes.","url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/brad_jansen\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/140"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
