A charity tour for orphan children

Trudy and Dirk Regter from the Netherlands go on a world tour in a 1915 Ford Model T, covering all continents of the world. They are making this trip with the aim of raising money for orphans worldwide.

To date, they have driven 64,000 miles across 31 countries and have raised more than $45,000 spent on children's projects in Colombia and Bolivia. An earlier trip by Dirk in 2007 from Beijing to Paris in the Model T raised more than $140,000, of which 2 children's projects were built in Mongolia. The last part of their world tour,about 10,500 miles, takes them back home to the Netherlands via Asia. If you support the purpose of this journey, you can take ownership of some of these 10,500 miles of this final leg.

Buy your miles and thus contribute to a better future for orphans.

    Picknick ride in an Unic Delivery 1912

    Posted on 28 January 2018 by DirkJan

    Report 28 January
    By Dirk

    Today we are invited for a picnic ride by The Veteran Car club of New Zealand in Ohoka; a place slightly above Christchurch.
    When we arrive there, a Spyker from 1907 stands in the verge. Unbelievable, a Spyker in the wild. This is owned by a man who’s name is also Spyker and is related to the Spyker brothers from the famous Dutch car brand from the beginning of the last century.

    In the barn of Kelvin Finlay is a car of a brand unknown to me; a Krit from around 1913. Upon inquiry Krit is a car brand from Detroit from the beginning of the last century.
    The swastika on the emblem does a bit strange, but the car is from afar before the 2nd World War, so then apparently that was possible.

    Trudy and I can ride the picknic ride with Tim Palmen in a Unic Delivery from 1912.
    The coach of this French car was built at the time by a coach builder in Christchurch.

    Trudy is in the back and has a lot of space.
    Tim and Dirk are “on the box”.

    There are also a few tough T-Fords along: a Touring from 1915 and a Delivery, also from 1915.

    Afterwards we have a nice chat and Dirk and Ron Duckworth have the greatest fun.

      Hoi Trudy en Dirk,
      Wat staat er al weer veel op de website. Wat heerlijk om even zo lekker te kunnen relaxen voor de auto’s er zijn!
      Zo,te zien al weer veel leuke dingen gedaan en gezien. Trudy, wat goed dat je je schoenen mocht houden. Met die nieuwe zolen eronder zat er vast stofrommel tussen de naden uit Singapore en Edam, haha. De kippen in Warder moeten opgehokt worden, hoorde ik gisteren. Als straks de vogelgriep uitbreekt in Nieuw Zeeland heb jij dat meegenomen onder je schoenen!
      Knuffel Tiny

      Hoi reizigers, gisteren bezoek van Rick en Margot en de website bekeken. Verdorie, we zijn al een paar mooie dagen misgelopen
      met die klassiekers. Ik moest de Fordsong zingen, Trudy moet de akkoorden leren dan kan ze meespelen als wij zijn vertrokken.
      We staan te popelen dus tot weldra.
