Many thanks for the great story! Really impressive. I really envy you for that experience.
I'm crazy enough to try similar things - I just need an idea and the time to do it. Let's see...

This is my old car. It was my first car, so I had lots of fond memories with it and despite not being in the best of condition, had huge sentimental value to me. When I got a new car, this one was rendered redundant. I wouldn't have got much money for it, and I didn't feel like selling it here, given that whoever bought it would probably just have ran it until the MOT ran out and scrapped it.
So what did I do with it? I drove it to Georgia!
I had always wanted to do a used car adventure, and had chosen Georgia as the final destination as it's as far as you can go without requiring a visa, and a beautiful country. I also got in contact with someone who lived there, who took the car in exchange for 10 days accommodation in Georgia and time to show as around the country. It was an absolutely incredible experience, and the car made the 3600 miles with only the fuel pump going at the Romanian border.
