Uk to Cape Town World Record
 

Anyone know what the record is on a motor bike. I see someone has just done it in ten days in a 4 x 4. Am I correct in thinking that Guiness no longer recognise record attempts by motor cycle, due to elf and safety reasons?

I think you are correct in saying Guinness no longer recognise some records but thought it was because you had to break the law in the countries you pass through to do it.

Firstly, who gives a toss and secondly and in my world more importantly, does it include beer stops. Ride safe.

Firstly, I give a toss, thats why I ...erm, posted. Secondly, if you can't post something a little more constructive then I suggest 'Mumsnet' might be more your thing. Have a nice day now.:nono:

I'm puzzled
 

Just out of curiosity: how on earth does anyone manage to drive a 4x4 from the UK to Cape Town in 10 days? Let alone, why anybody would want to.

Relax,

Gee

Hi Mate, it was a two man team driving non stop. I agree it wouldn't be for everyone, but alot of people do like to set records, thats why the Guiness book of records has been going for so long. What about the Iron Butt association?

Another hubber here who gives a t.....

Is this what you're looking for? (maybe you found it, here on the HUBB) -

Fiat Panda World Record Attempt | Africa Record Run

Seemed a brilliant adventure to me, a challenge just for the sake of it.

I think it was two-wheel drive, not 4X4.
.

I guess such actions arent good for the tourism arround there.

You guys will push to much, and the locals get angry about.

Also it is more an financial act than driving. With a team on each border you will just have a drive through at sample - where the poor guy stick for hours...

Do better join some of the rally-stuff arround - to be able to have these kind of fun... :eek3:

Surfy

Surfy, you make a fair point.
