New Suggestions from Interested Team Members

Dear all

After a fruitful meet up with several Old Frees in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Penang we have consolidate a few information which are useful for our trip next year.

Among the feedback received are:

1) Trip to postpone to 1st June 2012. This is because myself (Steve) has taken up new assignment and will only end sometimes May 2012. This new date tentatively agreed by members.

2) Changes of Route: To warm up, we have a member suggesting instead to going round the world next year. We shall consider doing PENANG- NORTH CHINA- MONGOLIA- SIBERIA- EASTERN EUROPE- EUROPE- UK. Personally I would love this idea as new route will take us approx 2-3months and this schedule will enable more people to tag along.

3) Number of Vehicles: Best would be around 2-3nos 4x4 cars, with best 2pax per car. It will not be comfortable for back seat passengers as we expect bumpy road throughout the journey. At the moment, we have already interested 3 cars for the trip including mine.

4) Type of cars: No control on this as only will leave it to individual preferences. Few suggestions:

a) Land Rover DISCO with Diesel 3.5 engine
b) Toyota Land Cruiser Ninja Turtle Diesel 4.0 engine
c) Mitsubishi Pajero Petrol 3.0 engine

 5) Strictly Free and Easy, everybody participating the journey need to play a role and step up for volunteering task. We need contacts in:

a) Good and reliable Pre Owned 4x4cars dealer
b) Professional and competitive 4x4 mechanics
c) All spares and consumables at lower than market price
d) Sponsorship contacts. This is CHARITY DRIVE and no profit will be make from the trip. All donation in cash will channel to Children's Home in Penang.

Do contact me and keep the ball rolling. If it is not now, then when? 6ft under?

Cheers
Steve

Latest Updates as 07th April 2011...

Dear All Friends and Family members

It has been a while since any updates on the tour and it would be my responsibility to keep everyone updated as frequently as possible.

Since I signed off from my last assignment on the Lewek Toucan in mid March 2011, things has been a bit wee busy here and there... both in Penang and Singapore

Rest assure planning for the trip is still on going and we (me and team) are still moving towards to our goal...

I would like to ensure to all our faithful supporters that we never forget our pledge, to help the needy children around the world and in Malaysia.

Cheers
Capt Steven Foong
